Ley of Barras
Ley of Barras submitted by cosmic : Viewed from South (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone (Menhir) in Aberdeenshire.
Situated just to the South of summit of Murraystone Hill it is some five feet high.

I approached it from track to North but had to jump a ditch and cross a barbed wire fence so approach from Leys of Barras Farm may be better.
