"At Sandyford near the village of Kilpatrick before the Road was repaired, & before a bridge for horses & carriages was built over the burn there, a large stone, supposed to have been an obelisk, intended to commemorate some remarkable event, had been taken from near the Roman Wall, where it is said it had stood & was used by the country people as a bridge for foot passengers. It is now in possession of Mr Donald of Mountblow and resembles the ancient obelisks near Brechin called the Danish stones of Aberlemno." Old Stat. Acct.

It is of the style so prevalent in the West of Scotland especially in Cantyre & the Hebrides, of the twelfth century." New Statl [Statistical] Account.
