The Girdlestane A roadside surprise with an illegible signboard behind it. The rock is smooth and grey which would indicate an erratic transported from elsewhere by ice. Then one notices a faint circle inscribed in the stone and also some prehistoric cup marks, so obviously a stone of some significance. In later times it has been used as a parish boundary marker, and one story about its arrival here concerns not a glacier, but a witch who was carrying the stone on her back when the ties broke and the stone fell here. Not quite sure why any witch, strong or otherwise, would want to carry this.
