Stone of Morphie, Prehistoric menhir in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The Stone of Morphie stands 3.5 meters tall with a base of 70 by 100 centimeters, positioned 700 meters west of the Coast Highway bridge.
The stone dates back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period and remains in its original location as a testament to early human settlements in Scotland.
Regional folklore connects the stone to a burial site of a Viking army leader who fell during the Battle of Barry in 1010 AD.
The standing stone is accessible through a path from the A92 road bridge over the River North Esk, situated 400 meters east of Mill of Morphie.
This unshaped and uninscribed megalith carries the name Morphie, which derives from the Welsh word 'morfa' meaning sea plain.
