Uploader's Comments

The sculptured stone at Altyre is situated 8 kilometres south of Forres. The pillar dates from at least the ninth century and is approximately 3 metres in height, with the cross on the front of the stone has been partially preserved and part of a carved cross can be seen on the rear of the stone. The Ogham inscription on the left side of the stone is over a metre long although it's meaning is unknown.
