Standing Stone near Strathendry.
About 100 yards west of the lodge of Strathendry House, on the south side of the roadway from Leslie to Scotlandwell, a large irregularly shaped block of sandstone, 5 feet in height at its highest point, has been utilised to form part of the dike. It stands with its main axis almost due east and west, and has a slight inclination towards the north. It tapers from the base upwards to a rounded and somewhat pointed top, its broad flat face to the north measuring 5 feet 7 inches across at 2 feet from the ground. There are no sculpturings. The girth at the base is approximately 16 ½ feet and at 3 feet from the ground 11 feet 9 inches. The Statistical Account (1) speaks of four large stones, but the others have been removed. A stone coffin and urn, says the same Account, were found beside one of these stones in 1760.
