St Madoes Stones
St Madoes Stones submitted by Nick : The stone row looking east (Vote or comment on this photo)
A Row of Three Stones (Alignment) in Perthshire, one of which has a cupmarks on it.

St. Madoes is reached from the A90 Perth - Dundee road, at the Glencarse turning. Head down the little main street and turn right at the sign for the school. These stones are now incorporated into a garden feature in the grounds of St. Madoes Primary School, in front of the main entrance.

Note: Permission MUST be obtained from the school for viewing - for obvious reasons.
