Upper Fernoch Megalith
Lochgilphead, Argyll
Standing Stone Canmore
Also known as Tayvallich
Upper Fernoch is at the west side of the Knapdale Peninsula near Tayvallich, between Loch Sween and the Sound of Jura.

There are a good number of standing stones, cairns and fortifications in the local area. A quarter of a mile away, but out of sight, is another megalith at Barnashaig. And a quarter of a mile further on, within view of both stones and with splendid views of the Isle of Jura, are the ruinous remains of a hill-top dun.
