026 | "It is enough to mention that one stone remains to shew that a Druidical Circle once stood a little to the North East of the Castle of Vane." New Statl. [Statistical] Account. The Stone stands in a field, known as the Standing Stone Field or Park, on the farm of Vane. It is not more than 3 feet high & about 2 feet wide & is firmly fixed in the ground. Upon the authority of Mr Buick, who has it from his predecessors in Vane, there were other stones here formerly & the one which remains is by the people of the place looked upon as of great age, or as an object of more interest than the common stones for cattle in different places in this neighbourhood. There is no more information to be had of this stone in the parish. |
