It is between five and six feet high and two feet broad; on the one side appear in the upper part two fishes Standing perpendicular with their mouths turned towards each other, below them is a cross and under that a Lamb; on the upper part of the other side is a dove, below it is a Serpent, under that an ox's head, and lower still a man on horseback accompanied by a dog; most of these emblems would indicate a Christian origin. |

County of Banff -- Parish of Mortlach
" The stone at Mortlach is erected on a haugh on
the banks of the Dullan, immediately below the
height on which the old church of Mortlach is built.
It has been supposed, although without any probability
that the stone was erected to commemorate a victory which
our second Malcolm is said to have achieved over the
Northmen at this place in the year 1010".
