Quote from Canmore Canmore ID 40856: "The 'Stinnin Stane', a dolerite monolith, is situated at the S side of Maidenhead Bay, near Rab's Knowe (Pan Knowes) (J Smith 1895). This stone occupies a prominent position on top of a small hill. It measures 1.7m in height and 1.1m by 0.8m at the base. The name 'Stinnin Stane' is not in local use."
I parked in the grounds of a hotel Malin Court hotel, stone is a short walk from there, at the most northerly point of Turnberry golf course
