Mid 18th century; rebuilt early 20th century. Circular-plan rubble sandstone and whinstone tall pillar with heavy pointing. Billet frieze red brick detailing beneath plain cornice; 3-tier circular-plan stepped rubble cap above; surmounting wind vane.
According to Mackintosh, this stone pillar is of unknown origin. Early maps indicate that it was removed from its original position behind the Heather House (destroyed by fire) at the entrance to Fullarton House on the Isle of Pin Road. Here, it is said to have marked the spot where the Fullarton family dispensed their justice. It was perhaps as a consequence of this that the surrounding area was named Lawhill. Once removed, the pillar was rebuilt in its present position and is now contained within the boundary of a nearby house, 'Monkland' (not listed). Another pillar (not listed), originally mirroring this one, is situated in the nearby golf course, but is now ruinous. Fullarton House itself was commissioned by William Fullarton of Fullarton in 1745 and demolished in 1966. The associated former stable courtyard, original east entrance, pedestals and grotto within its grounds are listed separately.
