LOUPIN STANES, DUMFRIES & GALLOWAY
Set on the east bank of the River White Esk, this small
oval of stones with a diameter of 38’ was
constructed on an artificial platform. Featuring 12
stones, 10 of which are granite boulders, with a portal
to the south west created by the two largest. A small
avenue of stones leads to an older circle, The Girdle
Stanes, ½ a mile away. Roaming cows and thistles abound
on uneven ground.
