More information on this monolith can be found on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their page for Dunkeld Park, Dunkeld, Perthshire, which has directions for finding this stone together with photographs, a brief archaeology & history and a 1908 drawing.
Canmore also record this prehistoric standing stone as Canmore ID 27205 which adds: "Situated towards the rear of a river terrace about 490m NE of Dunkeld House there is an erect slab which measures 1.45m from E to W by 0.55m at its base, and 1.4m in height .... a roughly oblong slab of schist set with its longer axis nearly E-W."
