Tuilyies Standing Stones

Tuilyies Standing Stones are a group of four standing stones located close to the A985 road about half a mile northeast of the village of Torryburn in Fife, Scotland (Scottisg Gaelic: Fìobha, Alba). They are thought to date from about 2000 BC to 1000 BC. The largest stands at some 8 feet in height with vertical grooves, probably due to weathering. The stone also has a number of carved cup-marks. Legend has it, that along with the other three stones which stand to the south, they mark the graves of chieftains who died during a battle in ancient times.
