markj99 visited on 23rd Mar 2012 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Cawdor Stone was easy to visit but couldn't be accessed closely due to the field being in crop at my time of visit. Fortunately the stone is relatively close to the edge of the field for photographic purposes.
livingstone visited on 26th Feb 2011 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3 This stone is less than 10 mins from my home i see it everyday in all types of climate. It has always struck me as being a "lonely" stone. Easily seen from the roadside but close examination often impossible due to barley crop in the field.
