Although the 'Stones of Dee' as they are called are now quite famous this was certainly not always the case. It took me a great deal of time and research to find the location of the stones. When I did finally track them down I found the boulders at the foot of a garden completely overgrown by grass at the side of the river. David P Webster O.B.E.
