"There is an obelisk in the midst of a plain field, within 80 yards of Strachur house the residence of Genl. [General] Campbell of Strachur. About 15 years ago, when the general was building his house there was a number of stones of different sizes about this obelisk. He was told they were the remains of a Druidical circle & gave particular orders that of the stones should be removed that any person conversant with antiquities might be enabled to trace the circle. The stones however were mostly taken away in the General's absence. It does not, however, appear that the obelisk was any part of a Druidical circle. It is more likely that it was erected as a memorial of the death of some man of eminence who had been killed on that spot. This obelisk is 10ft [feet] in height. It is very nearly square, being 22 inches at the base & tapering gradually towards the top where it measures only 10 inches. Some old people remember two stones of the same appearance, one of them much larger than the one described all within 300 or 400 yards of each other." Old Statistical Account.
