Greengates

Standing Stone / Menhir

Fieldnotes

Heading north from Crimond take the first minor road east from the A90. The first farm, Netherton, has a complete RSC. At the next farm, Greengates (1/2 mile along the road), stop here. I asked permission from the current occupant, who rents the property, to park. He was astonished to learn that such a thing was so close to the house. He didn't even know about Netherton or Berrybrae.

Once I was finished at being surprised I found the stone no more than 10 meters into a field containing the best behaved cows I've ever seen. The stone stands, a gray granite, at 11/2 meters and possibly is an outlier for the Netherton circle.
