'Auld Wives' Lifts', Craigmaddie Muir NS 581 764 NS57NE 25
The rock formation known as the Auld Wives' Lifts, which is situated on Craigmaddie Muir 400m N of North Blochairn farmhouse, comprises two massive earthfast blocks capped by a third. The surfaces of the blocks are covered with names and initials dating back to at least the early 19th century. There are also nine carved and incised heads of unknown date, and, on the flat top of the capstone, an incised circle 0.9m in diameter, the latter perhaps made by quarrymen cutting millstones.
