The Crocodile and the frog

The Crocodile and The Frog, no it’s not some fairy tale but a couple of painted rocks on the outskirts of St Fillans in Perthshire.  The St Fillans Monster, also known as a crocodile, is a short walk outside of the village. it has been here as long as Mrs Foodie remembers.  Legend has it that it was painted by local teenagers and the tradition has been carried on.

St Fillans Rock

Driving into St Fillans from the East you will easily see the frog at the side of the road, nestling within bushes.  Keep driving and on the right-hand side, you will see space for a single car.  Look out for the speed limit slash signs.

St Fillans Crocodile

The St Fillans Crocodile is just off Sustrans Scotland Route 7, there are signs within the village for the Railway Path.   Walk up to the old railway bridge and turn right and follow the path for around 15 mins and you will see the rock on your left.
