Description: Mutiny Stones, Byrecleugh Ridge The Mutiny Stones is a Stone Age,long cairn composed of irregular stones, situated in high Lammermuir moorland. Supposedly they were put there by the Devil, falling from his mittens as he passed overhead and were originally named 'Mittenfu of Stones'. The name was later corrupted to Meeting Stones and then to the present day Mutiny Stones. It is the only one of its type in Berwickshire. It measures about 270ft. Where the centre of the cairn is exposed by robbing to provide enclosures for sheep, many large stones can be seen. The maximum height of the cairn is 8ft although it is thought it was previously nearer to 18ft. View west.
