Stone wall on the Aultgowrie - Fairburn track
Magnificent stone Fairburn Estate wall on the track from Aultgowrie to Fairburn House. The carved round coping stones are very elaborate for an estate wall, built when the estate would have been in its prime. A local stonemason working nearby confirmed the stone was almost certainly red sandstone from the nearby, but now closed Tarradle Quarry.
