Interesting about Claverhouse's stone. However, a correction is called for: it wasn't named after a "defeated" Jacobite, but rather John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee, who won the nearby Battle of Killiecrankie for the Jacobites in 1689.

    See also The Balfour Stone, now lying flat on the path on the east side of the River Garry from Pitlochry to Killiecrankie: > This stone, like Claverhouse's Stone, is surely much older than Jacobite times.

      Correctly named this stone should be know as a Druid Stone of which there are a number locally.
