Standing Stones of Orwell

These two huge whinstones date back to prehistoric times and stand on a low hillock in the middle of a field about two miles outside Milnathort. One is eight feet high and the other is six and a half feet high.
In 1972 the west stone fell down, ( the one on the left in the photo) and while it was being re-erected experts examined the ground and found four cremation deposits, two of them in a two-tier burial, which is unusual. Carbon dating of bones from these deposits suggested they had been there since about 2000 B.C.
