Strange little stones.

They now have a protective wooden fence, presumably to stop the cattle from using them as rubbing stones.

The proximity to St Ninian's Chapel is interesting, it's an old early Celtic christian site, with inevitable thoughts of earlier provenance and possible continuities arising in my mind.

Apart from anything else, it's an absolutely beautiful spot.
