The Clach nam Breatann (or Minvircc[1]) is a large stone which marked the boundary between Dál Riata, Alt Clut and the homeland of the Picts in what is now Scotland .[2]

The Stone still stands, on the slopes of Glen Falloch, between Crianlarich and Inverarnan. The base circumference is 180 feet (55 m) and height 12 feet (3.7 m).[1]

There is another boundary stone in Ben Donich, called Clach A' Bhreatunnaich.[3]
