Caiy Stane
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Midlothian)
Visited: Yes on 13th Mar 2010
Caiy Stane submitted by Andy B on 13th Mar 2010. About 3m high, the Caiy Stane is a broad slab of red sandstone possibly marking a ritual or burial place from Neolithic times. The hilltop where it is sited continued to be used in the Bronze Age, and it may also have been the site of a battle in more recent times, with the stone as a memorial. The reverse face has six, probably prehistoric cup marks, some old graffiti and some more recent spray-painted defacings.
