Clach a' Charridh

It is a Class II stone, with a jewelled cross studded with 54 raised spiral bosses on the top half of one side and various Pictish symbols on the reverse.

The second panel shows a large Pictish Beast with three small animals: two horned sheep and another quadruped with a long tail.

The outer spirals are very similar to those on the bottom panel on the reverse of the Hilton of Cadboll stone, which has been identified as representing the four rivers of paradise.

The earliest published record of the stone is in Rev Charles Cordiner's Antiquities and Scenery of the North of Scotland, in a series of Letters to Thomas Pennant, London, 1780 where the reverse side is illustrated.

It is supposed that the workmanship of this is much more modern than that of the east side...The stone fell in a storm in 1846[4] and was re-erected.
