Clach a' Mheirlich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Clach a' Mheirlich (literally, the "Thief's stone") is a Standing Stone located on a field near Rosskeen, Easter Ross. It is also called the Rosskeen Stone. The stone itself is Bronze Age in origin, but has on it three incised Pictish-style symbols barely visible on the surface of the stone, making it a Class I Pictish symbol stone.
