The stone stands in a small residential street above the Clyde. It has been used for luck rituals and has a link to the last major Inverkip witch trial, described in the entries for Marie Lamont and the Inverkip witch hunts. A children's television series called Shadow of the Stone dramatised the legend in 1987.
The ritual accounts are from nineteenth century antiquarian writing, and the witch story rests on the 1662 confessions.
