The "Buck Stane", built into a garden wall, is 3'4" in height, 15" across the widest face, and 11" thick, but it has no distinctive features. It is traditionally associated with the Barony of Penicuik and the royal hunts on the Boroughmuir (W Maitland 1753).
The Buck Stane now stands at NT 2450 6922. According to a plaque, the Buck Stane marked the place where the buckhounds were unleashed when the King of Scotland hunted in the region.
