"But to return to the parish of Monzie. There are, first, its Druidic monuments, consisting either of a single stone of large dimensions standing on end, or of a whole group arranged in the form of a circle. Specimens of both may be seen in the park of Monzie *** A large Druid Stone with rude carving upon it, lies on the side of the public road, between the villages of Monzie and Keppoch. This was one of a circle, which Mr. Monroe, the then minister of the parish, caused to be broken and dispersed; the rest are now built into the stone wall which surrounds the glebe." New Statistical Account. The stone mentioned in the foregoing extract still lies at the road side. The place from which is was taken cannot be pointed out. |
