This standing stone is recorded as Canmore ID 44452, which tells us: "Standing Stone, Parish Graveyard, Strathblane. A few yards within the entrance to the graveyard of Strathblane Parish Church (No. 158) a standing stone appears among the monuments. It is a five-sided pillar, 3ft 9ins high, with an uneven but flattish top. At ground level the sides range from 1ft 9ins to 2ft 3ins in width. A standing stone occurs similarly in a graveyard at Struan, near Blair Atholl, Perthshire."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this stone - see their entry for Strathblane Churchyard, Stirlingshire, which includes directions for finding this site, together with photographs, an image of the location of the stone from 1866, and a brief archaeology & history taken from 18th, 19th and 20th century source material.
