Standing Stone (Menhir) in Aberdeenshire

Just off the A93 to Braemar this is a strange site. Although marked on the OS Map 1:50,00 as just a standing stone, the 1:25,000 also has a burial ground. According RCAHMS a chapel was built here in the 6th Century which incorporated an existing standing stone which was used as a reading desk for the chapel! Unbaptised children were supposedly buried here until the 19th century.

The actual Canmore listing is Ballater (in the parish of Glenmuick) but it is over four miles West of Ballater village itself.
