Balcomie Blue Stane I think this is the Balcomie Blue Stane as it's the only thing remotely fitting the description in the area indicated on the maps. If not I am sure someone will correct me. Legend has it that The Earl of Hell threw the boulder at Crail Kirk from the May Rock, but it split in mid air with one bit landing short of the Kirk and the other part here on Balcomie sands.
