Fingal's Stone
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jul 2005
Fingal's Stone submitted by hamish on 26th Jul 2005. Not very easy to find, where the foot path curves round behind the school there is a gate on the right. If it has been wet it becomes more difficult from here - mud and long grass - in an enclosure on the left is the stone. I didn't want to get any wetter so I took the photo from where I was standing. It looks a bit like a jig saw puzzle, three stones glued on top of each other. Very odd.

Auchterarder

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 28th Jul 2005
Auchterarder submitted by hamish on 28th Jul 2005. This is the stones just on the outskirts of Auchterarder, easy to see but not so easy to access. The one in the middle of the island is of course the first you visit the second on the edge of the hedge you can touch, but the third is most difficult with rusty barbed wire and nettles and brambles.

Carse Farm I submitted by hamish on 17th Aug 2005. This is the best time to visit here, the field has just been harvested and the farmer is in a good mood. I raised a hare as I was crossing to the stones. I didn't think to look for Nick's cup marks, maybe next time.

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2008
Dunning submitted by hamish on 15th Jul 2008. Was here recently and visited because I have always missed this site. I knew there was a stone somewhere but never found it 'till now. A nice girl took me to it. It is a standard Standing Stone with no ritual markings but it has survived regardless of the farmer.
