STANDING STONE. N.B. The general belief in the District, is that this Stone
was a pillar of worship in connection with the Stone Circle
which stands on Candle Hill. Sir James Elphinstone also considers
it an Antiquity. It is unlikely that so large a stone should have been set up in modern times as
a rubbing post for Cattle, & no-one remembers it having been put up. signed E.H.Courtney Capt.R.E. [Captain Royal Engineers]
