Anne T saw from a distance on 27th Sep 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Kirklandhill Standing Stone, East Lothian: From Pencraig Hill Standing Stone, we drove 3.6 kilometres east along the A199 (which runs parallel to the A1) turning left (north) up the A198. The Kirklandhill Standing Stone is in the middle of the field immediately to the right hand side of the A198.
Whilst the Pencraig Hill Stone was in a field of mature cabbages, this field was planted in well established brussel sprout plants, with no room between them, so we could only view it from the road. We tried looking for a gate into the field off the A198 and the A199, but the entrance must be near to the Kirklandhill Farm building.
I had to content myself with photographing this stone from the edge of the field next to the A198, which was very busy with traffic. Next stop on the list were some standing stones near Traprain Law hillfort.
More information on this prehistoric standing stone can be found on Canmore ID 57750 which records: "This standing stone is situated in a cultivated field about 300m SW of Kirklandhill steading. It is 3.36m high and approximately square in section. Its sides are about 0.5m long at ground level."
This standing stone also features on the Ancient Stones website - see their entry for 005 Standing Stone, Kirklandhill, Tyninghame, which gives a description, directions for finding this stone, nearest parking and fieldnotes.
