Airthrey Stone


The Airthrey Stone, sometimes referred to as the Airthrey Castle standing stone, is a massive block of grey dolerite measuring some 2.7 metres in height.

The stone stands on the playing fields of the University of Stirling which were formerly a part of the Airthrey Castle estate.

Around 900 metres to the west is the Pathfoot Stone.
