this stone stands on it's own in a field by Dunkeld House. it is reputed to have once been a circle, but I have seen a map of 1867 where there is just the one stone (marked as "Standing Stone (Sepulchral)"), so it must have been earlier than that.

it's also mentioned in the book "Dunkeld: An Ancient City" by Elizabeth Stewart:

"In the park near Polney Loch, one mile from Dunkeld, is a Standing Stone, quite noticeable from the Highland road. This monolith is one of those styled sepulchral, and is a rough oblong slab of schist, its basal girth being 10 feet 7 inches, and its height 4 feet 9 inches. Mr. Coles, who describes this stone in the "Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries", supposes it to have been part of a circle. It is not far from the ancient stronghold on King's Seat."
