Standing Stones in Aberdeenshire

With animals in the field I could only photograph it from the estate road. It looks to be 4-5 feet high.

According to the map this single stone lies about 450m almost South of the ruiuned Auchinclech Circle - I'll have to look for it!

South Auchinclech submitted by golux : West face (side seen from the road). My OS map does not show this stone but it does show the Auchinclech Circle, shown as either a standing stone or a ruined circle about 600 yards north of this stone. Using GPS to find the exact spot, I discovered there is no trace of it all, just an empty field. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The location given (NJ 827 087) is a little too far west and puts the stone on the wrong side of the estate road; NJ 828 087 is more accurate.
