Full Description
Site of a fragment of a Pictish symbol stone, illustrated by Stewart (1867), and by Allen and Anderson (1903), known as the Wolf Stone and now in the garden of Leith Hall NJ52NW0019. It came from Newbigging Farm, Leslie, where both its original site and the position where it stood for many years within the farm garden are shown on OS 6 inch map 1901 at NJ 6055 2581 and NJ 6035 2575 respectively. Stuart states that it was found about 1841 'in trenching a piece of ground ... near other large stones which were buried in the ground' and built into a dyke, when part of it was broken off. Shortly before 1866 it was removed from the dyke. The Name Book, compiled 1866, states that the stone was found sunken in marshy ground in an inclined position facing Bennachie. No mention is made of other large stones.
