Standing Stone (Menhir) in Angus
This prehistoric standing stone at Formal Farm is recorded as Canmore ID 31046. "This stone, now recumbent, is almost buried in the ground. It measures 2.1m in length x 1.0m broad x c. 0.3m thick."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also feature a page for this stone - see their entry for Formal, Bridge of Craigisla, Lintrathen, Angus, which gives directions for finding the stone together with the stone shown on the 1865 OS map, photographs and a brief archaeology & history. TNA add: "The stone isn’t lying in its original upright position. It used to stand nearly 10 yards east of here, and was knocked down and rolled into its present spot when an earlier adjacent building was erected. Another large boulder in the corner where the walls meet (at NO 25585 54044), just through the gates, may also have had some megalithic relationship with the fallen monolith."
