The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this stone, see their entry for Dunruchan ‘C’ Standing Stone, Muthill, Perthshire, which gives directions for finding the site together with photographs, a brief archaeology & history and a 1911 drawing of the stone.
TNA include the following description of this stone by Cole: "This huge block…rugged and irregular…makes, from the extraordinary angle at which it leans over southwards, a surprisingly picturesque object amid the heather and the various small boulders that lie scattered about in its vicinity. Of oblong basal section, the Stone tapers sharply up to a small narrow edge, which is at present 9 feet 4 inches in vertical height above the grassy ledge surrounding the base. In girth it measures over 17 feet, and the slope of its upper surface is over 12 feet in length. Intervening undulations in the moorland prevent one seeing the two Stones which stand farther down south-wards. The main axis of its base is N. 18° W. by S. 18° E."
