Bunnet Stane

The Bunnet Stane stands as a sandstone formation with a wide table-like upper section balanced on a narrow supporting column near West Lomond.

During the 19th century, surveyors documented the Maiden's Bower cave beneath the rock formation, which contains evidence of past human occupation including iron grates.

Local tales narrate the story of a grieving woman who lived in the cave after witnessing her lover's death by her father's men at this location.

The formation requires sturdy footwear to access via a path from the designated parking area, as the terrain becomes particularly muddy during wet conditions.

The rock measures approximately twenty feet in length and ten feet in width, creating a mushroom-shaped structure through natural erosion processes.
