Cross on Rock, Old Pier, Island of Raasay.
On a sloping rock facing the south-east, immediately to the west of a shed on the south side of the old pier at Raasay and about 9 feet above high-water mark, is an incised cross 3 feet 7 inches in length. The head o fthe cross is formed by four intersecting curves within a square, the sides of which are 20 inches in length, and the shaft, 23 inches in length and 2½ inches in breadth for the greater part of its length, is composed of a medial line between two marginal lines. These outer lines are 5 inches apart at the top of the shaft and curve inwardly to a width of 3 inches, then outwards to a width of 6 inches at a distance of 7 inches from the head, after which they contract again to a width of 2¼ inches and finally converge at the base.
