This stone was removed to its present location for road widening purposes, it now commands a fine view from halfway up the bank. It is on the right hand side going into Killin.
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features a page for this site - see their entry for Acharn, Killin, Perthshire, which gives details for finding this stone together with photographs and a brief archaeology & history.
