Standing Stone in Fife
Take the B9171 east from Spalefield towards Crail and you will see the the stone in a field just east of West Pitcorthie Farm. Parking at the farm I asked permission to cross the fields, as there were sheep and lambs in the first field. There was no problem about this, and I set off - much to the amusement of the sheep, who lined up to inspect their visitor... This 7 foot tall stone is of local red sandstone, and is set on a N-S axis. It has only a small area uncultivated round it, and there are a couple of fairly recent scrape marks on the western face. There are a couple of possible cup marks on the top, I'm not sure if these are just weathering or not.
