This may be the only Pictish symbol stone to get a full entry on TMA - the justification being that it is considered to be an earlier menhir to which symbols were later added. Honest. 3m high. In a field to the left of the road N of Edderton village. |

There is a large and very ponderous stone in the parish of Edderton, which a giantess of the [giants'] tribe is said to have flung from the point of a spindle across the Dornoch frith...From 'Scenes and legends of the north of Scotland, or The traditional history of Cromarty,' by Hugh Miller (1835). |
