Note: Historic Environment Scotland write: "While visiting the Killievair Standing Stone near Brechin recently, one of our Heritage Casework Team field officers found it had fallen over. We commissioned the re-erection of the stone so the public could appreciate the monument as it was supposed to be. This involved moving the stone, undertaking an excavation to record its socket and check for burials, and then re-erecting the stone in a new socket in its original location."
