Gallowhill Cross
Gallowhill Cross submitted by PeteCrane5 : The Gallowhill Cross filled with sandy soil and clearly recognisable as a crude St. Andrew's Cross (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rudely chiselled stone cross found lying loose among the shingle at the foot of the old Gallowhill, on the southern edge of the Highland village of Tomatin. Thought to be early Medieval in origin.

Gallowhill in Tomatin is a natural hill with a historical association with human remains and other artifacts. The Strathdearn war memorial is situated in a square enclosure on the site.
