The Trysting Stone
A large standing stone, situated beside the entrance to Doune Ponds. According to the information board, it was also known by other names: The Deil's Head; The Fairy Stone; and The Goldstone, as well as The Trysting Stone. The latter two are connected to the cattle fairs or 'Trysts', held outside Doune in the 18th century. During the fairs, the stone was used as a counter, where gold was paid for the 'black cattle'.
According to Canmore https://canmore.org.uk/site/24761/doune it was 'Traditionally said to have been a Roman Signal stone...' and that it 'rests in the debris of a long-disappeared sawmill beside the railway'.
The stone has been moved from its original location and is now about 70m further north. This prersumably happened when new houses were built around about the original location.
