Todholes (possible)

A silver chain is said to have been found here when the last of three standing stones was removed around 1930, approximately 450m south of Todholes farm.

The chain was apparently sold to the then National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, now the National Museums of Scotland, although it seems to have disappeared. This has led to the suggestion that it may have been confused for the silver chain found at Borland in 1895.
