The West side supports some amazing lichen - proof of the air quality! |

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding the standing stone called
Luath's Stone.
This stone is said to commemorate Lulach, King of Moray, a stepson of
Macbeth; killed near Rhynie in 1058. It is in a prominent position, yet in
a poor one if it represents the remains of a stone circle. Its sheer size
also suggests it is a commemorative stone and not merely a boundary stone.
The name but not the tradition is known locally.
Apart from the above we have no further information on this stone.
