No. 4. Now at St Peter's Church, Fyvie, this stone came from the garden of Rothiebrisbane House (see NJ63SE 5) having previously been rescued from its function as a drain-cover on the Rayne to Auchterless road. Measuring 0.7m x 0.53m x 0.35m it is of whinstone, incised with a very curved, ornamental horse-shoe (compare with Percylieu) above a symbol comprising three small circles within a larger, double one (compare Kinellar).

Information from R Jones 1980.
