This is known to be the tallest standing stone in Scotland at almost 6m (20ft)high. It is thought to have been a sea marker in prehistoric times and it is part of a large prehistoric landscape which includes Steincleit in nearby Lower Shader. Its name means 'Stone of Sorrow' which is thought to relate to local traditions that it is the grave of a viking prince or that it marks the site of a battle between the Morrisons of Ness and the MacAulays of Uig. The monolith predates any event AD.
