Loupin Stanes

The Loupin Stanes (grid reference NY25709663) is a stone circle near Eskdalemuir, Dumfries and Galloway.

Oval in shape, it consists of twelve stones set on an artificial platform.

[3] The circle takes its name from the tradition of leaping between the tops of these two stones.

[1] A line of stones leads south to the Girdle Stanes; it is possible that this is the remains of an avenue linking the two circles.
