Full Description
A substantial boulder sited here has the letters B & C incised into it [info G. Grant and not observed by the writer]. Another stone was recorded on the same boundary just to the N of the road at cNN
6298 9427 in 1870 and a third still survived in 1901 at NN 6301 9451. The letters are thought to represent the families of Baillie and Cluny, marking the boundaries between the two estates. They were presumably erected after 1829.
(The boundary may originally have extended SW of its present line to link with the flood defences extending up to the knoll on which the war memorial is sited. No flood banks are seen elsewhere on Gaskbeg Farm.)
