Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Dunblane Traditions: Being a Series of Warlike and Legendary Narratives, Biographical Sketches of Eccentric Characters, &C About two miles south-west of the village of Blackford, on the Sheriff-muir road, and near to the farm-house of Easter-Biggs, is an arch of stones, seven in number, called the "Seven Stanes," varying from perhaps a ton to two tons each. One of these is of a round prismatical shape, and stands in an erect position. Beside these lies a large bullet of stone, called "Wallace´s Puttin´ Stane," and he is accounted a strong man who can lift it in his arms to the top of the standing one, which is about four feet high, - and a very strong man who is able to toss it over without coming in contact with the upright one. At one time few were to be found of such muscular strength as to accomplish this - not so much from the actual weight of the stone itself, as from the difficulty of retaining hold of it, it being very smooth and circular.
