A standing stone is situated on Balgair Muir, about 180 yds NW of a gate which opens off the Fintry-Kippen road 340 yds N of its crossing of the Lernock Burn. It is triangular in profile and wedge-shaped in section, measuring 3'3" both in height and breadth along its base, by 1'7" in greatest thickness. It may well have been a boundary stone as it is near the corner of some ground which is enclosed by a turf dyke and has been cultivated.
