Symbol Stone, Fiskavaig Bay.

Attention was drawn by Mr Murphy, Excise Officer, Carbost, to a symbol stone lying on the sea-shore at Fiskavaig Bay, and the slab has now been acquired by the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland. It is incised on one face with the spectacle and floriated zig-zag rod and the crescent and floriated V-shaped rod symbols. The slab measures 3 feet in length and varies in breadth and thickness from 16 inches and 8 inches respectively at the bottom to 20 inches and 10 1/2 inches at the top. Cf. Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., Vol. LXI.
