Clach a' Mheirlich
Encyclopedia : C : CL : CLA : Clach a' Mheirlich
The Clach a' Mheirlich (literally, the "Thief's stone") is a Standing Stone located on a field near Rosskeen, Easter Ross. It is also called the Rosskeen Stone. The stone itself is Bronze Age in origin, but has on it three incised Pictish-style symbols just visible on the surface of the stone. It is therefore a Class I Pictish symbol stone.
