Nigg
Description
Location - Edderton, Old Church Yard, Easter Ross, open all year.
A Class 3 cross-slab, now leaning, in the churchyard of the former parish church. On the west face is a Celtic cross, with a broad circle around the intersection; on the east face a Latin cross (upright, with the lower limb longest) and a horseman in relief, with two lower horsemen now concealed beneath the ground. No Pictish symbols are visible. The trees and shrubs in the church grounds illustrate the Gaelic Tree Alphabet. The first letters of their Gaelic names spell Eadar Dun, the old name for Edderton. Fragments of Pictish stones found in the churchyard are now in Tain Museum.
