[Situation] 25 chains N. [North] of Troston farm house
A large granite stone on the farm of Craigend. It is about 6 feet in height by about 4 1/2 thick, its position is on the top of a flat rock so that the smallest pressure is sufficient to put it in motion. The following notice is taken of it in the Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of the county Page 247. "on the farm of Craigend, there is a rocking stone, estimated to weigh about 15 tons, and yet a child may put it in motion. It was first discovered about 15 years ago, by two little girl sisters, who while playing about it noticed its vibrations, and with astonishment reported them to their parents. It is a block of syenite; its position is on a piece of hard land surrounded by mossy or swampy ground; It is quite insulated".
[Note] "Rocking Stone" is enough as it near the farm house of Craigend there is no necessity for the name Craigend as it is a stone that wasdiscovered only a few years ago & consequently the name not properly established |
