Here can be seen the very round stone found on a gravel drive and photographed by David Dalgety.
It was examined by Mr William Bavin, one of the world's greatest marble experts, and pronounced to be "ground" therefore disqualified.

ORIGINOn Barna's Nonagenarian progress around Scotland in 1999, Ben Dalgety produced a large round rock. This inspired the first competition in which I said that in 2000 A.D. I would give 2000p First Prize, 1000p Second Prize and 500p Third Prize for the Roundest Natural Stones delivered to me. I also said there might be an additional runner-up prize for the “Most Amusing Stone”. |

There are many web sites with nearly the same name but none are genuine unless they have the hyphen representing a landscape worn flat by the rolling stones, a plural S for the many stones, and a .com ending.
