Anyone been to this stone?
According to my new map, it sits just below the M6 at junction 40 and is about 1km from Mayburgh.
Map ref NY511287.
I would hate to traipse over there and find it's another one of those awful christian millenium stones.
Cheers

Not been to it,but thought I'd try out the 'magic' website to see if it was on there. It is down as a scheduled ancient monument, just says er, standing stone. So it's old at least.

That godawful millenium stone is on the other side of the motorway, right next to where you park your car to go to Mayburgh henge (though I heard they actually wanted the stone IN the henge, yeah Right)
