When visiting this site it's best to park in the village as there is nowhere to park on the track without blocking it. It's only a short walk and the view make it worth the exercise.
If you carry on along the lane instead of going to Crofthead farm house, you can get to the stones from here. Not so wet, no burns to cross.
The two large recumbents are large. One has cup markings on it. Up the field are the two standing stones, and as Winterjc says, you can see as far as the Lomond Hills.
Visited here with my 2 oldest friends Norie of the photos and George. We didn't tell George where we were going - but anyway.
Asked permission from the old couple at Crofthead Farm and went to the stones.
The higher up, north pair of standing stones sit quietly at the side of a stream. I read on the Ancient Scotland website that the tip of the tallest of these two stones may mirror a distant peak in the Lomond Hills on the Southern horizon above the Keillour Forest.
A hundred yards to the south, down the hill are two large boulder type stones which may be the remains of one stone which has been split.
The megalithic culture remained strong in this area - you can visit a giant pictish carved stone inside the church in the village - there is also a full sized replica of this stone which stands in the village.
