| Caiy Stane | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 28th Oct 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | The Caiy Stane, Edinburgh: It was a good job we had the SatNav to help us find this stone, as all the streets around were called ‘Caiy (something)’ and we could have been driving around for ages!

| Boar Stone (Armadale) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Scotland | West Lothian | Visited | 28th Oct 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The Boar Stone (Barbachlaw), Armadale: This is another site we'd picked up from the Ancient Stones website, and although it's not far from my daughter's house in Amadale, we wouldn't normally drive this road. This stone is clearly visible from the A89. We managed to park in the gateway to another f... Read More |
