LOL!

Sorry Olly! Can't help really....

Went ages ago & I must admit I just took it at face-value & accepted that it was a replica without really thinking about it.

Fibreglass with some sort of sand substance mixed in I think. If you tap on it....

They did that with the Dunning Class 1 Pictish Stone near Forfar, put the original in the Meffan Institute to prevent further erosion and replaced it with a replica which looks extremely good. Until you knock on it... Ditto the Fowlis Wester Class 2.
