NT26NW 26 246 683.

Though the RCAHMS considered that the names "Caiy Stone" and "Camus Stone" referred to the same monument (NT26NW 14), Wilson notes them as two quite separate stones. He states that the Camus Stone "occupied the brow of the hill at Fairmilehead, about 200 yds S of the present toll-house. (at NT 2465 6831 on OS 1st edition 6"). Though it gave name to a neighbouring estate, and formed the march stone of its eastern bounds, it was destroyed within living memory to provide materials for road repairs".
