Standing Stones in Perthshire. These stones are believed to mark the graves or commemorate the death of Roman soldiers who fell in a battle fought here between the Romans and the Caledonians. The OS map shows quite a number scattering the hillside.

Although claimed to be of Roman origin these stones are no different from the majority of standing stones.
