Log Text: It is often difficult to park up in the vicinity of monuments close to busy roads. Luckily , in this instance there are 2 lay-by's at the junction of a minor road signed for Balloch with the A822 heading S out of Crieff at NN 8580 2012. Walk across the A822 to a gate into a field. Dargill Standing Stone is located c. 110 yards SE of the gate.

Log Text: It is ironic that this four-poster is located next to the cemetery on the SE of Dalginross: according to trove.scot/place/24857 an urn filled with ashes was found in the site in the 1800's. It is listed as dunmoid, Dalginross in trove.scot.

Log Text: If you are visiting the Clava Cairns at Balnuaran it is a short detour to Dalcross Mains Clava Cairn. This unrestored site is an interesting contrast to the restored cairns. It has been subjected to extensive stone removal leaving a semi-circle of kerb stones on a grassy knoll with trees round the perimeter.

Grey Man of the Merrick submitted by markj99 on 27th Oct 2020. Grey Man of the Merrick Close-Up
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The Grey Man of the Merrick is an unusual rock site in a valley c. 1 mile SE of the summit of Merrick, the tallest hill in the Galloway Forest. There are multiple routes available but I have walked my route twice: the path is relatively obvious for most of the route and there are good landmarks confirming accurate navigation. The Grey Man of the Merrick is located on a rockface at the top of a valley. The illusion of the bearded man requires an eastern view across the rock face looking towards Benyellary. Directions to the Grey Man are available in the main page.

Log Text: When I visited Cullernie Ring Cairn the field was in grass. I parked carefully in the wide junction of the A96 with Lower Cullernie Farm. There is a gate opposite the junction. This enabled me to walk safely along the margin of the field back to Cullernie Ring Cairn. It is not well preserved but it is still worth a visit if the field is not in crop.

Creebridge Cairn submitted by PaulM on 30th Oct 2002. Creebridge cairn
This cairn is located on the outskirts of Minnigaff/Newton Stewart and is superbly preserved. It could be associated with a number of cairns in this area.
To find it drive along the B7079 from Minnigaff towards the A75 - the cairn is in a roadside clearing at NX41706560 and stands at least 4m tall. The noticeboard is informative.
