The Gairloch Pictish Symbol Stone is a great example not only of Pictish carvings showing wildlife but also of the trials and tribulations of many Pictish stones which have had a chequered past between the time of their carving and their current safe homes in museums. It is also a rare example of a west coast Pictish stone and it makes us ask the question – how many more Pictish stones are hidden in the West Highlands, waiting to be found and rescued?
