The Dardannus Stone is at NO 595940 on the crest of Corsedarder Hill on the B976. The original is dwarfed by a War Memorial and the erection of the Birse Millenium Stone in 2000.
The Dardannus Stone, named after the 20th Scottish King, is about 4 feet high and sports iron staples to hold it together after it was broken in road widening in the late 19th century.
