Two Pictish Stones were donated to the National Trust in 1945 to be kept at their Leith Hall property. (It is really a fortified house).
The first one, the Wolf Stone, came from Newbigging Leslie - about five miles away.
The second, the Percylieu, was found at Hillhead of Clatt which is only a couple of miles away.
Both are displayed in a shelter along with various other stones - querns, grindstones etc.
