Early Christian Sculptured Stone in Fife
In an excellent postion overlooking the Firth of Tay, there remains only the base of this cross which may be as old as the 8-10th Century. In the 1850's the local council surrounded it by a kerb of boulders.
There are eight cupmarks on the top but they may be due to natural weathering of the sandstone block.
It is just across the minor road from Ninewells Farm which does B&B!
