Gowk Stane
Description
The Bennachie Colonists and even some people today, believe that the very first cuckoo, in April/May, to arrive from Africa to Bennachie perches on the top of this stone and sings!
Can you see the cuckoo egg and inscription on the wall nearby?
This large stone is next to the ruins of a colony house and was used as a Commonty boundary stone.
Jock o’ Bennachie the giant that lived on Bennachie may have thrown this stone! Can you see his fingerprint?
