Turning right (travelling south), we followed the road along to where Machany Water ran close to the road, just before Craigneich Farm. There was a track leading up to the moors on the opposite side of the road, and on this single track road, we needed to pull the car into this entrance for a few minutes while we looked for the stone. We had to climb over wall into field, but the stone wall was low and the wiring broken, so it was easy to access the field.
A somewhat neglected stone, separated from those on the moorland to the south by the road and hedges, it was oddly shaped. By now it was dusk, and I had to use the flash on the camera to get a decent photograph. Worth stopping to have a look.
There were other standing stones which we could see up on the moor to the south, but it was too late in the day to walk up to these and back as it would have been dark by the time we reached the first one.

Drive for about three quarters of a mile, keep looking on the left. The stone is in a field over a wall with barbed wire on top. It can easily be seen from the road.
This is Craigneich 'F' on Canmore site no. 24790. It also has its own record - see Canmore ID 345784 which adds: "A block of triangular section 6'3" x 4'3" on NW face x 2'3" thick to [aris] - on a valley just over the 500' contour now planted with corn. At base there is an excrescence 1'2" thick from S face. Close to Muthill road."
