Newbigging

This Class I symbol stone, known as the Wolf Stone, was found buried in a field at Newbigging farm around 1842. It was subsequently built into a field wall when part of it was broken off. Later in the nineteenth century it was placed in a garden rockery at the farm at NJ 6035 2575). In the twentieth century it was moved to Leith Hall where it can be found in a lean-to shed at NJ 53981 29974 against the north wall of the walled garden.
