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).

Glentrool area is known for its legends of stone throwing giants. The Giant Axe Head overlooks Loch Dee. It closely resembles actual neolithic stone axes and has runic text throughout.
