Couldn't resist putting this one in. Probably Scotland's earliest war memorial , dated between 600 and 1000 AD, many archaeologists think that this is a Pictish cenotaph commemorating an early battle.
There is some more info here:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sueno's_Stone[/url]
Location on the North Eastern edge of Forres on the old road to Findhorn.
Map reference NJ04655953
NMRS Number NJ05NW 1
These photo's were taken years ago before the horrendous glass enclosure was built around it to protect it and control the environment.
