"But to return to the parish of Monzie. There are, first, its Druidic monuments, consisting either of a single stone of large dimensions standing on end, or of a whole group arranged in the form of a circle. Specimens of both may be seen in the park of Monzie *** A large Druid Stone with rude carving upon it, lies on the side of the public road, between the villages of Monzie and Keppoch. This was one of a circle, which Mr. Monroe, the then minister of the parish, caused to be broken and dispersed; the rest are now built into the stone wall which surrounds the glebe."
