7Stanes is a Scottish Forestry Commission recreation and tourism project

7Stanes is a Scottish Forestry Commission recreation and tourism project Visit Site

The 7stanes are seven mountain biking centres spanning the south of Scotland, from the heart of the Scottish Borders to Dumfries and Galloway.  'Stane' is the Scots word for stone, and at each of the 7stanes locations, you'll find a stone sculpture reflecting a local myth or legend.
The stanes are found out on the trails in the forests, in prominent locations near cycling and walking paths.  They’re accessible on foot or by horse as well as by bike, and range in size from one to three metres high and from two to six tons in weight.
