Bruce's Stone Memorial

Highlight • Monument

Bruce's Stone commemorates Robert The Bruce and was unveiled 05/06/1929. The stone reads 'In loyal remembrance of Robert The Bruce King of Scots whose victory in this Glen over an English force in March 1307 opened the campaign of independence which he brought to a decisive close at Bannockburn on 24th June 1314.' The stone overlooks Loch Trool in the Galloway Forest Park.

Giant Axe Head Stane (Glentrool)

Highlight • Monument

The 7 Stanes are MTB trail areas in the south of Scotland. Each one has a 'stane' (stone) and it's well worth seeking them all out. A good array of levels from red runs (advanced) to blue (beginner).
