Hilton of Cadboll Stone

c. 800 · 9th century

The Hilton of Cadboll Stone is a Pictish cross-slab of about 800 from Easter Ross in northern Scotland. Its surviving face shows a hunting scene with a woman riding side-saddle, trumpeters and animals, framed by vine-scroll and Pictish symbols; the cross on the other side was cut away in 1676 for a memorial. The upper part is in the National Museum of Scotland, and the lower part was excavated at the original site in 2001.
