Looking north, with wind turbines in evidence. East Lomond to the north-west.

Didn’t have my shears with me to make this more accessable.

Visited this stone on 8 March 2015 for the first time since 2008. Then I had to clear a lot of nettles, thistles, dockens etc to take decent photos. The field has now been ploughed and sown with a new crop quite close to the stone, but its appearance is very similar to how it looks in the earliest photos on here, apart from the giant wind turbine situated a short distance to the north. The nearby Earlseat Farmhouse has been refurbished, extended and re-occupied.

The farm was being renovated so no one to ask, so I went into the field anyway. The stone was a bit over grown with nettles and the like but you could get an appreciation of it.

Sandstone stone in field of wheat.
Permission asked for at farm – nice woman had an idea we might be looking for stone...
First impressions pretty dissappointing, but good cup marks – well 3 at least that I thought... spotted small in one corner and as ever the views are pretty.

This stone is a block of sandstone, around 4-1/2 feet tall, oriented approximately E-W. There are no visible cup marks on it.
