Pictish Stone in Highland. The Kebbuck Stone is a Pictish cross-slab which lies in the back yard of what looks to be a holiday home near Nairn.

It is thought to be the burial ground of an ancient chief ,who died fighting over a cheese! Another use for the stone was to divide the bounderies of Ardersier and Nairn
