Ardlair Stone, Prehistoric menhir in Kennethmont, Scotland

The Ardlair Stone consists of a grey gneiss monument measuring 1.12 meters in height, 0.99 meters in width, and 0.36 meters in depth.

Archaeological studies from 1901 identified this stone as a Class I Pictish monument, indicating its significance during the early medieval period in Scotland.

The northern stone exhibits carefully incised Pictish symbols, including representations of a tuning fork and a beast, reflecting the artistic practices of medieval Scotland.

Located at coordinates 57.3385 latitude and -2.7409 longitude, visitors can find this scheduled monument on an exposed hilltop in Aberdeenshire.

The stone forms part of a larger archaeological site that includes another standing stone, suggesting potential remnants of an ancient stone circle formation.
