Bruce's Stone is a large granite boulder erected in 1929 to commemorate the Battle of Loch Trool. It overlooks the spot where, in 1307, Robert the Bruce with 300 men defeated an English army of 1500 heavy cavalry, ambushing them on the steep banks of Loch Trool.
The action was the first in a campaign of guerilla warfare that eventually led to Scotland winning independence.
