Title
Hilton of Cadboll
Description
Location – The original stone is in the Museum of Scotland.
A replica, by Barry Grove, stands on the site at Hilton of Cadboll Chapel.
The Hilton of Cadboll cross-slab (Class 2) once stood outside St Mary’s chapel at Cadboll, the remains of which can still be seen as grass covered mounds. In 1676 the face bearing the cross was defaced and an inscription cut to commemorate Alexander Duff and his three wives. In the 19th century the stone was removed to Invergordon castle, and in 1921 it was presented to the British Museum in London. However the following year it was returned to Scotland and it is now in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. In 2000, a new stone was set up at the chapel site, which was carved to reproduce as closely as possible the design of the surviving face of the original.
