| Tullibole | Sculptured Stone | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 31st Oct 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Tullibole Church Ruins with hogback in five pieces: Our first stop of the day, and as Andrew told me this was a site where 11 witches were tried, condemned and burned, a site I thought would be a good, spooky, start to the Halloween. But, this is essentially a field with a few gravestones sticking out of it, and it turned out the trials had taken place at nearby Tullibole Castle. The remains of the church are there, on the south side buried deep... Read More |

| Bull Stone (Crook of Devon) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 31st Oct 2018 | 2 | 3 | 4 | The Bull Stone, Crook of Devon: We parked in St Serf’s Road, Crook of Devon, at NO 03303 00037 and walked down Church Road, then took the right hand fork of the footpath, which lead almost directly south. Just under 220 metres from the fork, there is a farm track which leads off to the east. The Bull Stone is showed on the map just up this track, on its northern side.
I thought this stone was just part of an old stone wall, as the stone was f... Read More |

| Carleith (Crook of Devon) | Cairn | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Saw from a distance | 31st Oct 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Carleith Cairn (Crook of Devon): We didn’t go into the field as there were two very boisterous young bullocks who crowded the gate, along with their protective mothers, so I photographed it mainly from the gate into the field. From the edge of the field, this looked almost completely round, and I would have loved to have walked over it. The view to the distant hills was lovely. | 109 | 3 |
| Wizard's Stone (Dollar) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Visited | 31st Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Wizard's Stone (Dollar): We stopped off at a café in Dollar for a sandwich and cup of tea, then set off north east out of the town to find the Wizard’s Stone. This was really easy to spot. There is a small area to park on Hillfoot Road, where the road divides, at NS 96634 98999.
Rather than walk up ‘the (marked foot) path’ we walked into the field to photograph the stone. There are a number of pieces lying immediately around the stone, the... Read More |

| Deil's Cradle (Dollar) | Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Saw from a distance | 31st Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 3 | Devil's Cradle, Dollar: With this being Halloween, I was keen to try and see this massive erratic rock. From the Wizard’s Stone eastwards, the road gets narrower, not much wider than a single track road, so we parked in Tarmangie Drive, at NS 96743 99038, and walked up Upper Hillfoot Road (the southern part) at NS 96743 99038. Looking down through the woodland, we saw a large erratic by the side of a small burn.
This stone is in a very deep ... Read More |

| The Maiden Stone (Tullibody) | Sculptured Stone | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Visited | 31st Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | The Maiden Stone, Tullibody: This stone coffin is next to the ruins of the old church. We parked in the car park for the new church and walked through the graveyard which runs parallel to the road. Some really unusual tombstones, and quite spooky to walk through the graveyard and look around the outside of the Old Church as dusk was falling on Halloween! | 109 | 7 |
| Haer Stane | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Visited | 31st Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Haer Stane, Tullibody: This is one of the strangest erratics I’ve seen, as it’s been repurposed as a war memorial. We parked on School Road, by the school, and walked down to the entrance to this long, thin park; the only gate we could find into this area was through a lych gate at the corner of School Road and Lychgate Road. The erratic is almost at the far (north western) end of the park.
The stone was adjacent to the rear of the school wh... Read More |
