Amongst the amenities on the beach area in the town of Carnoustie is The Singing Stone, a singular block of stone designed by W Graubner.

The sign at the foot of the stone reads as follows:

Take a deep breath and exhume slowly while humming.

Hum with lightly closed mouth and lips in different tone levels till you find your own individual tone.

As soon as you meet this tone, the resonance will increase, and you will feel the vibration of your own voice in your back, legs and down in your soles.

Repeat several times.

Every person has an individual resonance for his/her organs, the so-called tremor. Humming stimulates this tremor hugely.

In early times human history, humming was probably practised even more than dance, song, drumming or playing the flute to intonate the whole organism.

Early evidence of this is the humming holes in caves on Malta and in medieval cathedrals of south France.

The stone can be found only a few yards from the beach, between the Leisure Centre and the Pavilion
