Drumtroddan Standing Stones in Galloway. One of the first sites to be donated into state care following the 1882 Ancient Monuments Act, by Herbert Maxwell. A stone fell a few years ago, leaving just a single one remaining.

Historic Environment Scotland have decided against restoring the fallen stone, declaring the money better spent elsewhere. This isn't state care, it is managed decline. What would Herbert Maxwell think now?
