Standing Stone (Menhir) in Aberdeenshire.
Standing stone over six feet tall with some cupmarks.
I parked at Cotetown farm and walked in from there but the track shown on the OS Map no longer exisits so maybe easier from Johnston Farm (who's land it is on, I think).

View looking SE.
Easy access: take the road to Johnston Farm (signed), keep going through the farm yard and out the other side; the track takes you to within 10 yards of the stone.
