Hi,

What do others think of <a href="http://www.stravaiging.com/blog/index.php?id=31">this stone</a>? (the one down the bottom of the page)

It's not listed as a Pictish stone anywhere, and CANMORE (<a href="http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/pls/p[...]inumlink=26347">record 26347</a>) says it may be associated with a chapel of St Maroc (now lost).

To me it looks like it could be a christianised standing stone - any takers? Sorry the picture isn't great - I was being chased by spaniels when I took it. You can just make out the large inscribed cross spread across the entire face.

Cheers
Andy
