Notes: This pillar-shaped stone was found built into the south wall of Reay church in 1947. It is sculpted on all four 'long' sides. On the front is a cross in flat relief, decorated with a diagonal key pattern. On the right side are a hound, two cows and a horse, all rather roughly executed, on the back is a stag above a knotwork panel, and on the left side a series of double spirals with the topmost apparently chiselled off. This stone is at present on public display in the National Museum of Antiquities, Edinburgh. |
