Details Pictish symbol stone Class I, broken. It was found circa 1841 at NJ605 258 (NJ62NW0103) built into a dyke where part was broken off. Symbols are a wolf, mirror and comb and an ornamented rectangle. It was moved to Leith Hall (NJ52NW0004) between circa 1890 and 1915, when the rubble wall either side of the south gate of the walled garden (NJ52NW0131) was altered or rebuilt to accommodate this and the 'Salmon' stone (NJ52NW0018) in niches. Both stones were removed from their niches sometime before 1967 and moved to a lean-to within the garden. The stone has now (2014) been moved back to its original niche beside the entrance gate to the garden.
