Geocache Description:

Near the "Auld Wife "Standing Stone

35mm cannister

Park in the passing place or at a nearby junction.

Standing Stone is directly above you

Part of the Trowie trail

The Skellister Standing Stone is an irregular boulder of grey sandstone with large veins of white quartz, apparently quarried from the adjacent hillside and set up amid rough, rocky surroundings. The stone is just over nine feet in height and is packed at the base.

Locally it is also known as the Auld Wife (Old Wife), because in silhouette it resembles a stooped, albeit tall, old woman. The Skellister Standing Stone is located near the village of Skellister on the Hill of Skellister off the B9075, a minor road in the South Nesting area of the Central Mainland off the A970 main road.
