I remember seeing one of those erratics in Denmark (something like 15 years ago), and it was quite big. I’m pretty sure it’s the one described in this Google Earth Community thread:

…and some ground-level pics too (both sites in danish so I don’t understand what’s written…):

I live near White Rock, and my aunt is the City Manager of Okotokos, which is just outside of Calgary, where my family is from and I was born; so I found this interesting as I had never heard of Big Rock. I found this page that tells more about the rock, including the fact that the Blackfoot name for rock is "okatok". I guess I now know where Okotokos got it's name.
