Site of Cross Stone [note]
''A Stone of somewhat similar in appearance
to those already described as the''Cross Stones
of Aberlemno'', ( Sheet 33.6,) ''and from the style of
its sculpture, evidently belonging to the same
rude era of Scottish art, is at present in the
vestibule of the House of Auldbar, having been
brought thither from the ruins of a contiguous
ancient chapel, It belongs, however to an
entirely different class of subjects,''
It is most probable that this was either an
Altar piece, or that it was intended in some way
to ornament the Sacred edifice whence it was
taken,''
