  • The Dalwhinnie Stone
    THE DALWHINNIE STONE “The situation of this Inn is solitary in the extreme, lying on the westerly bank of the Truim, far distant from all other habitations; and on all sides it is surrounded by crags and boggy heath, the silence of the scene being only broken by the melancholy murmur of the stream” – The Scottish Tourist and Itinerary published 1830. For those who have visited Dalwhinnie, I am sure that they will echo the above 19th Century description of the area. It is more bleak than beautiful, more stark than serene however it does possess a stone of strength. The Dalwhinnie Stone When the Dalwhinnie Stone is lifted, it travels further to the heavens than any other Scottish stone as the village boasts being the highest elevated in Scotland. The stone was discovered circa 1990 by PB Martin on many of his Highland forays and I recall his excitement when walking into the Hotel for a well earned pint he found this beauty sitting outside. The stone was promptly lifted. The Dalwhinnie stone is a fine example of Cairngorm Granite and was obviously, as it is well water worn, plucked from a nearby river. At 240 lbs the stone is slightly lighter than the similar Inver stone and fortunately or unfortunately (whatever way you look at it) its smoothness and oval shape again make any grip on its surface reasonably difficult. Perhaps its beauty and weight make up for a lack of formal history however the Dalwhinnie runs the Menzies Stone for the fourth most lifted stone in Scotland and it appears on most lifters “to do list”, a testament to the stone itself.
