THE SCULPTURED STONES OF CAITHNESS
A survey by Tim Blackie and Colin Macaulay

Reference Number: SSC/28

"(MGC p167). This would seem to indicate a possible Class 2 stone. It is possible that the Ulbster stone SSC/1O is meant here, but other accounts indicate that this latter had been at Ulbster for many generations before being removed to Thurso Castle by Sir Tollemache Sinclair. The chapel site referred to above would seem to lie at about map reference ND 2800 3620.
