| STANDING STONE (Sculptured) [Crichie] | Standing Stone (Sculptured) | Thomas Tait Esq. Mr. Andrew Reit Mr. Alexander Watt |
054 | This stone formerly stood about fifty yards east north east of its present position where it was removed to prevent it being injured. It now stands in the centre of a Druidical Temple, but is not supposed to have ever formed a part of it. "The Stone at Crichie stands a short distance eastwards from an entrenched stone circle, which is fifty feet in diameter - surrounded by a moat, twenty feet wide and six deep - with two entrances of nine feet wide, immediately opposite to each other, being North and South. The pillar is of granite; Other sculptured stones have been found in this parish, of which Drawings will be found in the present work." Sculptured Stones of Scotland [Continued on page 14] |
