Albury Park House
Albury Park House submitted by Andy B : Albury Park has a house and extensive private grounds, part of the wider Albury Estate. Although there are some public footpaths, most of the estate is not usually open to the public, except to access the extroadinary little old parish church, which is of Saxon Origin. It has Turkish inspired architecture and Masonic connections. We had permission to search for a lost 'Table Mound', or long Barrow... (Vote or comment on this photo)

Park House (West Allen)
Park House (West Allen) submitted by Anne T : Standing just south west of the stone looking over to the Isaac's Tea Trail path which runs north-south along the western bank of Mohope Burn at this point. The trail does a short 'kink' to the right at this point, which might indicate why the stone has been located here? (Vote or comment on this photo)

Park House (West Allen)
Park House (West Allen) submitted by Anne T : Looking past the stone, up the line of trees, (which peters out at this point) westwards towards Keirsleywell Row and the road. Some 30m to the right (north) of the stone is an old lime kiln recorded by Pastscape. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Park House (West Allen)
Park House (West Allen) submitted by Anne T : Viewing the stone looking north east towards the Mohope Burn. One side of the stone appears to have been broken/clipped or weathered, although not in the recent past, as none of the edges were sharp/new.

Park House (West Allen)
Park House (West Allen) submitted by Anne T : Standing just west of the stone looking eastwards down the line of mature trees towards Mohope Burn. With the stone being along this line of trees, my immediate thought was that it was an old gatepost, but it did not line up with the other gaps/gates in the dry stone walls looking north/south along the valley.

Park House by cosmic on Monday, 17 October 2005
(User Info | Send a Message)
This fragment of a Pictish Class 1 Symbol Stone was moved from Keith Muir East Park (NO794984) to its present site around 1821.

To reach it turn south of A93 into drive for Park House (crossing the Old Deeside Line Walkway). At the walled garden turn right and then at next junction turn right again. The stone and its ornate plinth are by the side of the track south of the tennis court before you get to the main house itself.
