Balblair Stone NH 509 451 NH54NW
This boulder, which stands 1.22m high, bears an incised human figure. When first recorded the stone stood about 92m W of the former parish school, but it was removed to Moniack Castle (NH 551 435) before 1881. Nothing can now be seen of the supposed cup-marks noted by Jolly, and the outline of the figure shows considerable signs of wear.
