Tillypronie

This Class I symbol stone once stood on Tom a Char to the west of Mill of Newton at NJ 430 048. It was then built into the wall of the farmhouse at Mill of Newton before later being set up on a modern base in the garden of Tillypronie House.

The stone is carved with a notched rectangle and Z-rod above a crescent and V-rod.
