Clochoderick Stone

According to Wikipedia:
The Clochoderick stone near Howwood and Kilbarchan in Renfrewshire used to rock and it is said that the Druids used it to judge people. The accused was made to sit on the stone and by the way it moved the Druids judged the innocence or guilt of the individual. It is also said to be the burial place of Rhydderch Hael, King of Strathclyde who was the victor at the Battle of Arderydd near Arthuret in the Borders. His victory brought Christianity to Strathclyde.

It was the point of a brief stop on our cycle today (a much longer stop later for cake!). There was no sitting on the stone, just in case of guilt.

Then home for some work round the garden and we found our garden visitors had left something more interesting than usual (see extra).
