Three Class I Pictish symbol stones, moved from original positions to the grounds of Whitestones House (circa 85m southwest of the house). The first (also known as Tillytarmont, no. 2) was ploughed up in 1944 in a field called Donaldstone Haugh, on North Tillytarmont Farm (NJ 533473). It is of red granite, 1.30m high, 0.61m wide and 0.15m thick, and bears the 'crescent and V-rod' and 'double disc and Z-rod' symbols. The second (also known as Tillytarmont, no. 3) was first discovered a little before 1867 and was rediscovered by W. D. Simpson on the edge of Donaldstone Haugh in 1954. It is of red granite, 1.14m high, 0.91m wide and 0.38m thick. The markings are faint, but consist of a crescent (without V-rod) and part of what appears to be a double disc. The third (also known as Tillytarmont, no. 4) was found before 1903 on the farm of North Redhill (NJ 560 467). It was first built into a dyke and then moved to Rothiemay Castle before being erected on its present site. It is of whinstone, measuring 0.81m high, 0.58m wide and 0.27m thick. The finder recut the spiral and rectangular ornament on the left, leaving the ornament on the right as he found it.
