Corsedarder is the highest point on the public road through Birse parish and the location of both the parish's War Memorial and the ancient Dardanus Standing Stone.

In response to local concern about the derelict condition of this prominent site, BCT has taken over its management under a long term lease and carried out extensive landscaping work. This has included re-defining and re-surfacing the parking areas, removing accumulated rubbish, re-building a dyke and planting 34 local origin native trees to match the number of names on the War Memorial.

The Trust has also compiled a Book of Remembrance about these 34 men, copies of which are on view in Birse and Finzean Churches.

BCT also erected a new standing stone on the site and organised
a special ceremony on the 1st January 2000 to dedicate it as the

Birse Millennium Stone
"an enduring symbol of the community's gratitude for and remembrance
of the past and of its hopes and dreams for the future".

The event was attended by around 300 members of the local community and this remarkable turn out, fine weather and the specially composed ceremony all contributed to an extraordinarily positive and memorable occasion.
