Standing Stones, Randolphfield.
Two standing stones are situated in the grounds of Randolphfield House, on the W. side of the St. Ninians road in the S. outskirts of Stirling. One, which stands beside the drive 40 yds. N. of the entrance-lodge, is an upright pillar of rectangular section, 3 ft. 8 in. high and 1 ft. 5 in. by 1 ft. at ground level. The other stands 20 ft. N. of the boundary wall between Randolphfield and Cliffordpark at a point 40 yds. SW. of the lodge; it is an upright, rectangular pillar, 4 ft. high and measuring 2 ft. by 1 ft.6 in. at ground level.
While these stones may not be of prehistoric origin, there is no reason to accept Nimmo's statement (1) that they were set up to commemorate the action fought on 23rd June, 1314, by the Scots under Thomas Randolph, Earl of Murray, against an English reconnaissance force.
