The giant's tooth

This is a less crowded alternative to Ardminish Bay in westerly weather. It is surrounded by farmland and just up on the road you will find the best standing stone hereabouts, the so-called giant's tooth. The aforesaid fellow lived on Kintyre and got such bad toothache that he pulled out the offending tooth and hurled it over to Gigha! Or was it a pebble from his shoe, or the shoe itself? The stories vary. Another tradition is that it is actually the 'Hanging Stone' where criminals were executed.
