Knocknocher stone pair submitted by PaulM
Knocknocher stone pair Pair of Standing Stones in Dumfries & Galloway

This stone pair (one of which has sadly fallen) may also go by the name of Boreland or Clugston Burn. They are now safely penned in behind wire - the fence posts can be seen from the lane that runs to the south. Located in the same field as White cairn.

Canmore site no. 62860.
