Tall Neolithic standing stone on the slope of Beinn a' Charra near Ormacleit, South Uist, a short walk up from the A865
An Carra is a prehistoric standing stone on the western slope of Beinn a' Charra above Loch an Athain, near Ormacleit on the west side of South Uist. It stands over 5 metres (17 feet) tall and is the tallest standing stone in Uist; it is thought to date from the Neolithic period.
The stone is visible from the A865 and is reached up the access track to the water reservoir above it, where there is a small parking area. It is not to be confused with the Beinn a' Charra stone on North Uist.
