Fowlis Wester Standing Stones Standing Stones View all content for Fowlis Wester Standing Stones

October 2002. Visited here with my 2 oldest friends Norie of the photos and George. We didn't tell George where we were going - but anyway. Asked permission from the old couple at Crofthead Farm and went to the stones. The higher up, north pair of standing stones sit quietly at the side of a stream. I read on the Ancient Scotland website that the tip of the tallest of these two stones may mirror a distant peak in the Lomond Hills on the Southern horizon above the Keillour Forest. A hundred yards to the south, down the hill are two large boulder type stones which may be the remains of one stone which has been split. The megalithic culture remained strong in this area - you can visit a giant pictish carved stone inside the church in the village - there is also a full sized replica of this stone which stands in the village. We headed out towards Perth.
