Hi Girth Summit (talk), I do love these local monuments across the country, their history is so interesting. Review: article moved to mainspace 18 April and exceeds minimum length (even with quotations removed); article is well written; inline citations are used throughout (I was not familiar with the Gatehouse of Fleet but am satisfied it is reliable enough for the content cited, as a local historical charity carrying out work to the monument, and if it is backed up by the offline sources); I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited, I added the "Scotland" to give the reader a bit of a steer on where it is; image is the author's own and appropriately licensed. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:26, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
