Menhir from Dalgrambich Farm
The menhir of Dalgrambich Farm ( English Standing Stone ) stands on the north side of the track, leading from the flour mill in Kinrea Townhouse Cantray, south of the village of Croy, in Strathnairn, the valley of Nairn , east of Inverness in the Highlands in Scotland .
The menhir was considered the last survivor of a Clava Cairns by James E. Fraser .
The stone is about 1.9 meters high, 1.27 meters wide and 0.55 meters thick. It is on the south corner of a field. There are no other stones in the immediate vicinity, although there are several large stones at the edge of the field and on the southeast side of the lane, which may have been part of the alleged Clava Cairns or a stone circle .
