Standing Stone in Fife
From the outskirts of Kirkcaldy, turn east along the A915, known locally as the Standin' Stane road, towards Leven. Earlseat farm is just to the north of the road, and the stone there can easily be seen from the road. This stone is a block of sandstone, around 4-1/2 feet tall, oriented approximately E-W. There are no visible cup marks on it. It's not very spectacular, but is in a nice open location.

What a dreich day this was, well the whole week was. Just over the hill at the back is a vast opencast coal mine, I know that because I went up the wrong road looking for this Stone.

At this time of the year you cannot see this from the road. There wasn't anyone at the farm house so I just went over the field and got very wet.

I was here in the pouring rain, the stone was partially hidden by vegetation and I wasn't in any mood to hack it down. It is a simple Stone probably lined up with Leven and Largo Law.
