052 | A large stone similar to the ancient monumental standing stone, George Smith says that there were other two close to this one, but they were removed about 23 years ago. "If large gray stones be entitled to the appellation of antiquities, or are any indication of the religious worship of our ancestors, a few of these appear in a field, thence called Standing Stanes, which are supposed to be the ruins of a Druidical temple."

52-16 -- Parish of Rattray Perthshire
[Notes below Standing Stone:]
The standing stone in front of the
house of the same name is the remains
of a Druidical Circle or Temple. The Revd. [Reverend] Mr.
Haldane says that 20 stones constituted
this circle & a large one stood in the centre,
he supposed the one now standing was the
centre one.
"Above the river, southeast from the village, in a beautiful
situation, is a Druidical temple, much defaced, and many
of the stones carried off. The farm upon which it has been
built is called Standing Stones."
