taken 9 years ago, near to Inverness/Inbhir Nis, Highland, Scotland

Knocknagael Boar Stone
Knocknagael Boar Stone
A large Pictish stone with the symbols of a mirror case and a wild boar. Being badly weathered, the carvings are easier to make out on site than in the photo. The stone is now safely under cover and on display in Highland Council's HQ, in partnership with Historic Scotland.
