This Pictish design mirrors the panel on the Shandwick (Chach A'Charridh) standing stone near Nigg (Ross and Cromarty), Highland.
Here's a link to a pic: http://web.telia.com/~u31118336/stone_struck/shandwick.htm
Canmore shows a nice photo serie of the stone (NH87SE 4).
Are there any other carvings around?
Cheers,
Jan

There aren't any other carvings around - the nearest of any kind are the Braes of Foss stone way down at the bottom http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/1272

I've never seen the carvings at the top before in 15+ climbs of Schiehallion, so they might even have been made in the last year. Or I might just be less observant than I think! I'll go back next year when the snow has cleared and have a good look at them
