Title
George Bain Drawing - Discs
Subject
Detailed drawings comparing disc designs from various stones, the Shandwick Stone, the Nigg Stone and the Hilton of Cadboll Stone.
The stone was discovered at Hilton of Cadboll, on the East coast of the Tarbat Peninsula in Easter Ross, Scotland. Class II Pictish stone.
On the seaward-facing side is a Christian cross, and on the landward facing side are secular depictions. The latter are carved below the Pictish symbols of crescent and v-rod and double disc and Z-rod: a hunting scene including a woman wearing a large penannular brooch riding side-saddle. Like other similar stones, it can be dated to about 800 AD.
