Standing Stones

Nice story, Drew! It sounds like the stones have been moving/moved all over the place. Here's a much more dull version - but it's nice to see the stories are still there after 100 years.Since making our investigations, we have ascertained* that many years ago there was a group of three stones, and that deserved ill-fortune befell the two farmers (whose lands were divided by the dike) for their wantonly removing them. These three stones stood in a triangle, and were probably the remains of a Circle.
*Through the good offices of friends at Longside whose relatives formerly lived near Skelmuir. From PSAS v38, 1904: 'Report on Stone Circles of the North-East of Scotland' by Fred R Coles.
