A standing stone in a field just above Linlithgow, past Williamscraig Holiday cottages. According to Canmore it is an erratic but it looks quite a lot like a standing stone to me.
Information from Stan Hughes, who writes: the stone seems as if it has been there for a very long time, it is surrounded by some ‘cairn-like’ stones and is located on the top of a natural rise in the field.
