Standing Stone in Perthshire

Just opposite the cottage of Courthill, but apparently known as the Craighall stone, being as it is just NE of the former saw mill of the same name. On the E side of the stone are several cup marks - 9 according to the RCAHMS in 1986, but in 1881 there were apparently 13.
