Pictish Symbol Stones Brandsbutt Stone
This stone, which was found nearby and broken-up to build into a dyke, is now restored.
As well as the incised crescent and V-rod and serpent and Z-rod symbols, this stone bears an ogham inscription.
It can be transliterated IRATADDOARENS, which has been linked with Eddarrnonn, a possible rendering of St. Ethernanus. Note the scales on the serpent.
