The Catstone, Blackstone near Giffordland.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The name 'Cat' is applied to many stones, such as the 'Cat Stone' on the Isle of Arran near the village of Corrie and the Cat Stane near Edinburgh Airport. 'Cat' is thought to come from 'Cath', a Celtic word, meaning a 'battle.' The Norwegian term, 'Bauta Stein', means the same thing. A suggestion is that such stones were rallying places for clan members, etc. prior to battles, etc.
