B5. Location Notes
This large and prominent boulder stands on a broad N-S ridge, about 50m S of a rocky knoll which is the local high point. The area has been extensively quarried and the panel is at the edge of one of the smaller workings, partly undermined. There are extensive views to the S and E across Speyside.
