Standing Stone, Broadgate.
This stone stands just N. of the road from Campsie to Strathblane, 140 yds. E. of Broadgate farmhouse. It is 4 ft. high and measures 2 ft. 3 in. by 3 ft. at ground level. It may well be the stone referred to in the New Statistical Account as marking the spot where Mr. Stirling of Ballagan was murdered in the 17th century (1), and should therefore not necessarily be accepted as of prehistoric origin.
