Location Notes: The stone is located 30m S of a deer fence on the top of a broad ridge between Strath Sgitheach and Strath Glass. The ridge runs E-W and slopes towards the E overlooking the Cromarty Firth. It is within an area approximately 200m x 100m containing around 27 other decorated stones. An old trackway runs up the ridge.
The overall site was previously surveyed by Dougie Scott and Bob Gourlay in 1986 & 2001 (see Canmore entries for Druim Mor).
Panel Notes: The heart shaped slab, which has a long axis oriented E-W, is partially covered by turf. Some turf was lifted to examine the stone and subsequently replaced. There are
3 fissures running across the surface N-S, W-E and SW-NE, and 15 cup marks which vary in size from 40mm to 70mm across. There is short curving groove about 0.2m long, which may be natural. There are no obvious peck marks.
