(NN 5712 3301) Final's Grave (NR).

OS 25" map (1900)

About 1830 the stone is said to have been higher up the hill, and was brought down because visitors to it damaged the surrounding crop.

C G Cash 1912.

Fingal's Stone, a standing stone 2ft 8ins high and 5ft in girth, is in the middle of a field immediately behind the schoolhouse at Killin. It was re-erected in 1889, a smaller stone fixed on the top, and others placed near it.

W A Gillies 1938.

This stone is as described by Gillies. No information was found regarding its former site. Although the name most used locally cannot be ascertained, it is suggested that "Fingal' Grace" should apply to the original site and "Fingal's Stone" to the stone at its present position.
