Pencraig Stone

This large standing stone reaches a height of around 3.4m (11 feet) and is nearly 0.9m (3 feet) in breadth. It bears no markings, has a pointed top and is three-sided making it triangular in cross-section. It is often missed by travellers on the East Linton and Haddington stretch of the busy A1 trunk road, even though it is located only 30m (98 feet ) to the north of the roadside, in a cultivated field on the east slope of Pencraig Hill. It is located less than a half-mile (1 km) southwest of East Linton and only 1¼ miles (2 km) north of the important hill fort Traprain Law.
