A really, lovely walk today with Sally to one of her favourite places. She had attended a recent meeting about changes they want to make to Sherrifmuir to encourage more people to use the area, including a building at the Gathering Stone?
I love this track. I haven't walked along here for a few years
This cairn marks the way to the Gathering Stone
The Gathering Stone which is a prehistoric standing stone. It was in cased in metal in 1840. It is said this is where the Jacobite army raised its Standard prior to the Battle of Sherrifmuir in 1715.
There are some circular trenches nearby which are thought to be practise trenches during World War 1 and 2
