Large image (661x330 - 40k) Looking north-east to the Fintry Hills. The yardstick is six feet tall
Large image (426x658 - 77k) The grooves and rough face are natural. The depression on top may be artificial

Large image (410x624 - 68k) Much of the pock-marking would seem to be artificial (but not necessarily pre-historic)
Large image (436x586 - 65k) This face, according to the CANMORE record, was carved with a horse and rider in the medieval period. We couldn't find the carving.

Fintry is a small village beyond the Campsie Fells, north of Glasgow. At the edge of a low mound near Endrick Water stands a solitary stone, a little under four feet tall.

In the 16th or 17th century a horse and rider was carved on one face, although this is now difficult to distinguish (that is, I couldn't find it at all!).
