Metal plaque with inscription : 'The bore stone in which the Royal Standard was last pitched for the muster of the Scottish Army on the Borough Muir before the Battle of Flodden 1513 It long lay in the adjoining field, was then built into the wall near this spot and finally placed here by Sir John Stuart Forbes of Pitsligo, Bart. 1852' followed by a quote from Sir Walter Scott's poem 'Marmion'. — The Stone's traditional attribution has been proven incorrect as James IV set out from Edinburgh before the standards were ready.
