Thurgartstone : ウィキペディア英語版 | Thurgartstone The Thurgatstane or Ogrestane is a famous stone near Dunlop in East Ayrshire in Scotland. The Thurgatsane is thought to have been a rocking stone at one time, but it no longer rocks. ==Name== The Thurgartstane or Ogrestane, or in modern English, the Thurgartstone or Ogrestone, is also known as the Thorgatstane, the Field Spirit Stane, T'Ogra Stane, Thugart Stane, Ogirtstane, Fiend's Stane, Ogart Stane, Horgar Stane or Thougritstane. One explanation of the name is that it derives from 'Thor's Great Stone'. Another is that the name comes from the phrase "''Thou Great Stone''" or just '"''grit stane''" (Paterson 1866). The term 'The Stone of the Ogre' may indicate some forgotten legend. Some names may be spelling errors originating in or propagated by the Ordnance Survey or other maps. Another theory is that the name is derived from the word "Tagairtstane", which means "the priest's stone."
