(Name cited as Bullhide Stone, Glenkindie). This standing stone is situated in an area of arable ground at an altitude of 220m OD. It had fallen over by 1991 and the stone hole was partially excavated (by I A G Shepherd) on 15 October 1992 before it was re-erected; the packing stones were conserved.
