Tyrie Church
The Raven Stone is a carved Pictish symbol stone, discovered in the foundations of the church at Kirkhill, Tyrie. The stone is carved with the figure of an eagle, below which is a rectangle and traditional Z-rod symbol.
The rectangle has a notch on the short side and indentations in the long side. It has been suggested that it might represent a chariot drawn by a pair of horses, seen from above. The stone is located in the church, just to the south of the main A98 road.
About five miles away is the burial mound of Mensie Cairn, while the historic tower house of Cairnbulg Castle is eight miles distant.
