Beautiful wee stone near the road.

Follow Mr Brands directions and you will find that the stone and its cup marks haven’t moved. We couldn’t see the man on the stone so presumably he has moved on. Quite what this man was up to I’m not clearly sure but it looks like some kind of fertility symbol. The picture on the link seems get a grip of the situation.
The stone has been fenced in and the entrance is near the wall.

From Forfar head east on the A932 Friockeim road. Turn north onto the un-numbered Aberlemno road by Balgavies Loch, until a small crossroads is reached. Just north of this junction you will see the stone in a field on your left (west side of the road.) This at first appears an unassuming stone, standing about 1.2m high. Flat-faced, with the faces approximately due south-west/north-east. However, it repays closer examination. Along with 5 cup marks along the top ridge, on the SW face is (allegedly) a very faint outline of a man. I had a good look, and could make out some faint lines, but the stone is very eroded.
