**Fingal's Stone** submitted by hamish : Not very easy to find, where the foot path curves round behind the school there is a gate on the right. If it has been wet it becomes more difficult from here - mud and long grass - in an enclosure on the left is the stone. I didn't want to get any wetter so I took the photo from where I was standing. It looks a bit like a jig saw puzzle, three stones glued on top of each other. Very odd. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Standing Stone (Menhir) in Perth and Kinross

This standing stone can be found in a field behind Killin school. It is recorded as Canmore ID 24192, the 1912 entry of which says: "About 1830 the stone is said to have been higher up the hill, and was brought down because visitors to it damaged the surrounding crop," with a 1978 update which tells us: "This stone stands 0.8m high."

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also feature a page for this stone - see their entry for Fingal’s Stone, Killin, Perthshire, which has directions for finding this standings stone, a photograph, a brief archaeology & history and local folklore.
