The Caiy Stane

Always up for something new to blip, I headed out in the car to the Fairmilehead area of the city to blip the Caiy Stane.

The Caiy Stane which is over 9 foot high, 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.

I like a bit of good old archaeology.

I hope you have all enjoyed Wednesday,
