I have passed these stones for over two decades on my commute and recreational travel. They stand off the A911 opposite Orwell Farm, halfway between Kinross / Milnathort and Kinnesswood. The rise of the ridge silhouettes them perfectly against the sky. They are angled to one another in an unusual way that suggests they may be survivors of a tight circle now robbed out, but excavation says otherwise. As two singleton stones placed yards but possibly centuries apart, with scanty traces of at least one burial, they are not only enigmatic but possibly unique.

Stunning setting up the beautiful Dee. Historically interesting. Ben Dolphin, a ranger there is full of amazing facts

The stones themselves are beautiful and majestic, however they are located in a farmer's field on a busy 60mph. There isn't really anywhere suitable to pull in and park to go see them, it's ashame, but it is what it is I suppose.
