Another stone was placed with the three at Elphinstone, and is now lost.

See Newton of Lewesk, NJ62NE 19.

Three class I symbol stones of whinstone, each incised on one face, originally lay horizontally and close to each other on the Moor of Carden (NJ 69 26: NJ62NE 43). Near the moor was planted about 1812, they were built into the plantation wall on the W side of the wood and the E side of the road (NSA 1845) (NJ 6880 2663 - see OS 6" map 1867). The Ordnance Survey Name Book (ONB, 1867) says that 'two were on the S (E has been scored out and S inserted) and the other on the W side of the lodge', but their orientation is obviously incorrect), but they have since been erected in the garden of Logie House. A fourth stone, which was used by the tenant as a hearth-stone in his kiln, was split by heat and destroyed (Allen and Anderson 1903).

NSA 1845; Name Book 1867; J R Allen and J Anderson 1903; W D Simpson 1943.

(Name cited as Logie House). These stones are situated about 30m N of the drive to Logie House (NJ72NW 5.00), within an area of parkland overgrown with rhodedendrons.
