Stone Head

Stone Head is a distinctive natural rock formation located along the A849 road on the northern part of the Isle of Mull, close to Loch Beg. The large split rock is famous locally for its resemblance to a human face, making it a memorable landmark for visitors driving through this scenic area. Its roadside location makes it easily accessible for a quick stop and photo opportunity.

The formation’s unique shape is created by natural weathering and erosion, which have sculpted the rock into what looks like a profile view of a head. Stone Head is not only a geological curiosity but also a piece of local character, often sparking interest and conversation among travelers exploring Mull’s varied landscape.

Surrounded by rolling hills and the peaceful countryside of northern Mull, Stone Head offers more than just its striking appearance. The area provides a chance to appreciate the island’s natural beauty and geological history in a setting that’s both accessible and tranquil, ideal for those who enjoy discovering hidden gems off the beaten path.
