Stone of Morphie NO 716 627 NO76SW 6
This standing stone (measuring 1m by 0.7m at the base and 3.4m in height) is immediately S of the public road in the stackyard of Stone of Morphie farm. Traditionally said (New Statistical Account [NSA] 1845) to mark the grave of a son of Camus, killed in a battle between the Scots and the Danes. Shortly before 1856 it was knocked down and digging prior to re-erection revealed 'portions of a skeleton'.
