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.
