The Blue Stane is a relic of Pre-Christian Pictish St Andrews when it had some now forgotten ritual significance. It is reputed to have been the coronation stone of Kenneth MacAlpine, who united the Kingdoms of the Scots and the Picts in 843 A.D. According to legend, a giant standing either at Drumcarrow or at Blebo Craigs threw the Stane at St. Rule's cell on the Kirkhill, but it fell short. [full inscription unknown]
