Camies Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Aug 13, 2009

Leave the A96, south of Inverurie or north of Kintore, at the Thainstone Agricultural Centre. Take the second minor road to the right for a mile turning left at the first farm. Follow this road to it’s conclusion and turn left. The stone is situated to the south a short distance from the track.

At last there hasn’t been angry looking cattle to stop me getting to the stone. This time sheep peacefully kept watch. Camies stone, grey granite, stands at 11/4 meters high and has good views of the Garioch. The remains of Cairnton stone circle are on the other side of the A96.

Camies Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Jul 6, 2009

“The farm of Camiestone, in the parish of Kintore, derives it’s name from a standing stone similarly named, where the leader of an invading army of Danes is reputed to have been killed. On the neighbouring farm of Braeside is a stone cist, called Camie’s Grave, which the farmer opened. At his death he left a considerable fortune, and this was attributed to his having found treasure in the cist, though the wealth had a more prosaic origin in farming skill and hard work. The top ridge above his farm carries a number of cairns scattered irregularly, and one of these also is said to conceal treasure, though the difficulty of deciding the lucky cairn is solved with a touch of Scottish humour by designating it the “eastmost wastmost carn.”

Near Camies Stone is Clovenstone Farm. Local legend, as well as the occupant at the farm, claim that “witches” were killed at the massive split piece of glacerial known as the Cloven Stone. Also a battle between the locals and some Vikings was mean’t to have happened here but no evidence has been found to back this up.
