The Stone of Morphie is a prehistoric standing stone about ten feet in height. It is located about half a mile west of the Coast Highway (A92 road) and a bridge over the River North Esk (Scottish Gaelic: Easg Thuath) and about 500 yards east of the historic Mill of Morphie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This standing stone is traditionally said to mark the site of the burial of a son of Camus, a Danish warrior, said to have been killed in a battle with the Scots in the early eleventh century AD.
