Inchmarlo Standing Stone is vouched for as the sole remnant of a circle seen by the late Sherriff Douglas. It is still called the Druid's Stone. It is a nearly-square-based block of porphyritic granite, and close beside it lies a much smaller, but still weighty, block of diorite. No trace remains of the other stones of the circle.
