[1] Carved on the southeast side are two images, a horse shoe-like arc symbol above an eagle.

The stone was originally located further down the hill, towards Dingwall, but was moved to its current site in 1411.

[2] One old tradition is that the stone marks the site of a Scottish clan battle that took place in 1411 between the Clan Munro and a branch of the Clan MacDonald, and that the stone commemorates a Munro victory as it is marked with their symbol, an eagle.

[3] According to Norman Macrae the stone was placed there by the Munros while marching against Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles.

[4] The stone is associated with the prophecies of the 16th century Brahan Seer (Scottish Gaelic: Coinneach Odhar).
