Westerton submitted by Nick

Standing Stone in Perthshire

From Forfar head easton the A932 Friockeim road. Turn north onto the un-numbered Aberlemno road by Balgavies Loch, until a small crossroads is reached. Just north of this junction you will see the stone in a field on your left (west side of the road.) This is an unassuming stone, no marks, standing about 1.2m high. Flat-faced, with the faces approximately due south-east/north-west.
