Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Midlothian
This large glacial erratic stone is featured on The Ancient Stones: A Guide to Standing Stones and Stone Circles in the South of Scotland - see their entry for the Stone, Yorkston, Gorebridge, which includes a description, directions for finding this stone together with nearby parking, and fieldnotes. The Ancient Stones adds that what drew this stone to their attention was its sheer size, being much larger than the normal field clearance boulders.
