The Bull Stone, Leslie.

A relic of the rural pastime of bull-baiting stands on the town green. It is a roughly shaped granite boulder to which the animal was secured, and its lower part is deeply grooved by ropes (1). It measures 3 ¼ feet in height and is 12 inches in diameter at the top and 2 ¼ feet square at base.
