**Bagbie Wall Stone** submitted by markj99 : Bagbie Wall Stone, centre picture, in the dry stane dyke. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Standing Stone (Menhir) in Dumfries and Galloway. There is a dry stane dyke c. 30 yards S of Bagbie Cairn. A short standing stone c. 2.5 feet high and 2 feet wide has been incorporated into the wall.

Canmore ID 281565 notes that the stone is "on a direct sight-line between Bagbie standing stone and the two upright stones on the ESE edge on Bagbie cairn." (J Pickin 2005)
