This stone was an ancient boundary-mark of the burgh of Peebles, and in 1462 it is referred to as "the Quhyt Stane on the northt half of the gat rekand to the Wenlaw". It is a glacial erratic of white quartz measuring about 1.0m by 0.7m and having a girth of about 2.5m. The stone has been set up on a pedestal, immediately opposite the entrance to Peebles Hydropathic, in an alcove formed in the boundary-wall on the S side of the road to Innerleithen.
