Scope and Content Cross-slab known as The Princess Stone at Glenferness, Nairn, Highland This cross-slab now stands 300 m S of Glenferness House. It originally stood nearby beside a small cairn on the bank of the Princess Pool, which the stone is named after. This is a drawing of the stone which appeared in John Stuart's 1856 publication 'The Sculptured Stones of Scotland'. It shows the SW face which is carved with an interlace-filled cross. Below are a number of whorl and two figures fighting. A local folktale claims that the cairn the stone once stood on contains the bodies of a Pictish princess and a Scandinavian prince. They are said to have drowned whilst eloping. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
