Writing in 1911, an A Scott told of a "Druid Temple" standing at Craigmakerran, which had been reduced to two stones after others were removed for building purposes. The site was apparently recorded previously on an OS map, although not on the 1867 one.

The RCAHMS are very dismissive of this, suggesting that Scott was getting confused with the two standing stones at Wolfhill, although their only reasoning behind this would appear to be that both sites consisted of two stones, ignoring the fact that Wolfhill is a kilometre away.
