At Milton of Crathes (NO79NW 45.00) there are two cross-incised stones. The first (NO 7415 9617), said to have originally stood beside an old drove-road near Candieshill (NO 744 966), is incorporated in a rockery to the S of the farmhouse and measures 0.66m in length, up to 0.17m in width and 0.065m in thickness. On one face it bears an incised equal-armed cross set within a circle, with a circular hollow in each quadrant, and on an adjacent face there are four characters, possibly letters. The second stone (NO 7419 9616), which measures 0.42m by 0.33m, is built into the outside wall of the farmstead at its E end, and has an incised cross with arms 0.06m in width.
