Cnoca Breaca standing stone Stonybridge South Uist Western Isles Scotland. SCO 6506
There are many interesting and fascinating sights in and around Stoneybridge and the Cnoca Breaca is one of them. This standing stone is approximately six feet in height and it is in the rough shape of a cross. One of the arms appears to have broken off and most would expect the Cnoca Breaca to be carved from stone. Studies have proven that it is a completely natural formation making this a masterpiece of nature. Outside of Stoneybridge, near Ormiclete, visitors will be able to view the 18th century Ormiclete Castle. Chieftains for the Clan Ranald were the constructors of this Scottish castle, of which only its ruins remain today. The Dun Altbrug ruins are located on an artificial island, and it is believed that the wall of this structure once measured four feet in height. The walls are also surprisingly thick, with measurements of between nine to twelve feet. Hidden under the water that surrounds the island, lies a treasure trove of artifacts and modern day items that are scattered on the bottom. Most of the artifacts are dated back to the 19th and 20th century.
