Boulders like this were left when this bit of west Mull was deglaciated about 17.5 thousand years ago.

A distant view of mighty Duart Castle, standing guard over the entrance to the Sound of Mull from its location at the eastern tip of the Isle of Mull. A stone defensive structure was probably first built here in the mid-1200s. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mull/duartcastle/index.html

Lochbuie Stone Circle, by the shore of Loch Buie Isle of Mull. The circle was originally nine granite stones, about 12 metres in diameter, with the tallest stone being about 2 metres high. It is mainly composed of granite slabs which have been positioned with their flatter faces towards the inside of the circle. One of the original stones has been removed and replaced in recent times with a low boulder. A very magical place, with a lovely walk to it.
