custer visited on 16th Feb 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 2 Great location, shame the day I was here it was very foggy. The sites of the roman forts marked on the map were not visible, piles of rocks had also been cleared from these areas. Still a great trek.
The peace stone covered in cup marks. Has obviously been moved from original location and placed at the edge of the field. Said to be protected by the Trossachs little folk with plenty of stories to be found. Canmore ID44622. Lovely setting just above the small Loch Macanrie and just over the hill you can look out over The Lake of Menteith.
For more information see Canmore ID 44622 which says this stone, "first recorded in 1899, appears to have moved slightly from its original position, probably during agricultural improvements in recent decades ... It now lies a few metres away at the field edge, in a strip of bracken-covered land between the old field wall and a modern fence. It lies next to a large boulder and several smaller stones probably cleared from the adjacent field. The 22 markings are still mostly visible though not in the detail recorded in 1899."
