On its under side are several compart- ments, filled with carvings of different kinds - Men, animals, and other figures.

It contains Some figures but they are almost entirely defaced, New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Forfarshire p. [page] 643 Forfarshire is remarkable for its great number of ancient Sculptured Stones which are found in different localities. The age in which they were erected, and by what people, and for what purpose have been long the subject of desquisition among antiquaries, but from my de- ciphering of the Inscription of one of the principal stones of this class which is in the church yard of St. Vigians, (See Name Book for ph. [parish] of St. Vigians), it appears pretty plainly that they belong to the age of the establishment of Christianity in this district, or at least not long afterwards, and that they were erected by a christian people as sepulchral monuments to commemorate their illustrious dead.
