The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Cargill Stone in Maybole is associated with the Covenanters, a group of 17th-century Scottish Protestants who resisted royal interference in religion, and is believed to mark a site of persecution or gathering. Local tradition holds that the stone was used as a meeting place for Covenanters, and it may have been a site of prayer or defiance against religious oppression.
