Muirkirk, standing (stane) stone: This seven-foot stone stands in the middle of a sloping field near the main road through Muirkirk. Having been agricultural for a long time, Ayrshire has been cleared of many of its standing stones and stone circles over the centuries for the benefit of farming. As a result, the area is relatively short of ancient monuments. This stone is a fine exception to the rule.
Golfing history has been made in Ayrshire and continues to rank high in the list of things to see and do with no shortage of superb courses to choose from.
