Old Photograph The Gathering Stone Sheriffmuir Scotland

Old photograph of The Gathering Stone on Sheriffmuir, Scotland. This stone, which bears the following inscription: " The Gathering Stone of the Highland army on the day of the memorable battle of Sheriffmuir, fought in November 1715 " has been since 1840 enclosed in an iron cage, where the standard of the Scottish clans is said to have been placed. It is in reality a much earlier standing stone but one which has gained traditional association with the battle. Locally it is known as the Battle Stone and is said to have been formerly known as the Beltane Stane.
