Antiquities:- The heath near the junction of the parish of Nairn is an obelisk or " standing stone," about 6 feet in height, called the Kebbock-stone, erected, according to tradition, over the grave of a chief who fell in a skirmish, the inglorious cause of which originated in a dispute about a cheese. Another tradition is, that it marks a spot where the Danes were repulsed. The late Mr. Nimmo of the Inverness Academy, thought the stone had been placed to mark the boundary between the counties or Inverness and Nairn.
