The menhir of Invershin Farm ( English Invershin Farm Stone ) stands in the middle of a field between Inveran and Invershin, between the A837 road and the River Kyle of Sutherland at Lairg in Sutherland in Scotland .

Of about 1.65 m high, at the base of 0.75 × 0.43 m measured Menhir ( English Standing stone ) has strong vertical stripes and a quartz strip , which is visible diagonally across both sides. It slopes slightly to the east. To the south of it a small stone in the shape of a hogback protrudes up to a height of about 0.3 m from the ground. A scattering of quartzite stretches around the stone at about 20 m. The area is a low river valley surrounded by hills.
