Visiting this one risks life and limb! It lies on the A911 about a mile west of Leslie, and there are no pavements and very little in the way of a verge... Fife drivers exhibit a blithe disregard for minor impediments like speed restrictions, so be very careful. There is a place to park a little way past the stone in the side road leading south.
Canmore's description goes thus: "About 100 yards west of the lodge of Strathendry House, on the south side of the roadway from Leslie to Scotlandwell, a large irregularly shaped block of sandstone, 5 feet in height, has been used to form part of the dike. It stands with its main axis almost due east and west and has a slight inclination towards the north. It tapers from the base upwards to a rounded and somewhat pointed top, its broad flat face to the north measuring 5 feet 7 inches across at 2 feet from the ground. There are no sculpturings. The girth at the base is approximately 16 1/2 feet. This may be the sole survivor of the four stones near Gallant Knowe."
I have nothing to add except to reiterate my warning about the road!!!

Re: Re Dalgety Standing Stone (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Monday, 27 July 2009 | The stone is probably Bronze age about 7 feet tall crowns a small hillock and its upper half is fluted, either by weather action or maybe for ceremonial purposes as the Tuilyies Stone nearby or those in Northumberland are. Broods out across the landscape quite atmospheric and worth a look. Aswith most such sites mystery surrounds the whys & wherefors.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Could it be anything to do with Barns Farm Dalgety?
(If you enter that into the search box, top left of page, and press 'Enter', it'll take you to the site page. Once there, if you click on the small lime-green square link to the OS map near the top of that page, you'll see the site marked with an arrow.) |
