Description
A class I Pictish stone showing a horse the only occurrence of the horse in symbol form although hunting scenes with horses and riders are a frequent element of class II stones. As with all Pictish Symbol stones dating is somewhat contentious. As the stone is somewhat eroded a superimposed drawing is included to show detail. As well as Inverurie 3 and 2, Inverurie 1 is located in the same place but is too worn to photograph well.
