From the A932 from Forfar head east, turning right (south) towards Letham at Chapelton. The road cuts back towards Forfar then there is a side-road on the left (south again) towards Letham. The Girdlestane lies on a bend about 100m south of this, in a small enclosed area just off the road. The stone is labelled "The Girdlestane. Early Bronze Age Cup and Ring Carving 3200 - 1500 BC." nickbrand Posted by nickbrand
