PICNIC AREAS

Throughout the centre you will find ample locations to sit down for that picnic you brought with you. At various locations throughout the park there are tables and benches to make things even more comfortable.

You are welcome to bring along your own charcoal and food and use one of the barbecues that are positioned at various spots on our view point walk.   Not much can beat sitting on a nice day eating your "burned sausage" and admiring the beautiful views over Strathearn.

This huge standing stone which stands next to the coffee and gift shop measures an impressive 2.61m (8' 7") tall, rising from the centre of an obvious round mound which is almost certainly artificial, or at least an artificially-enhanced natural knoll.
It is sometimes referred to as the "Roman Stone," a name applied erroneously to several standing stones in this area as a result of the Roman activity at Dalginross, and reflecting the belief recorded in the OS Name Book of 1860 that it marked "the grave of one of the heroes who fell at the battle of Mons Grampus.
