The Route to the 'Slidey Stane'

Thanks to Lily Laing and others from the Historic Scotland Park Rangers' office in Holyrood Park for helping to locate this stone.  I hope we now have the right stone.

To find it:

1.  Start at the park entrance at the south end of St Leonard's Bank

2.  Take the footpath on the right for 80yards.

3. Turn left up the hill for 15 yards and the stone is straight ahead.
