markj99 visited on 3rd Jul 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 I didn't find any rolling stones (I didn't write the description of this site: I inherited it) but I did find a candidate for a recumbent standing stone on the hillside at NB 17754 34588.

On a slope behind a farm gate, above an upwards path beyond the gate there are several stones rolling. Most of them are boulders, one of them is an outcrop and one laying flat lane might have had stood there. This is scheduled as a fallen standing stone.

Canmore site no. 72849.
