The Hilton of Cadboll Stone is a Class II cross slab which stood near Hilton of Cadboll Chapel.
The stone is thought to have been carved around 800 CE but seems to have been moved to a location close by in the 12th century where it remained until 1674 when it fell during a storm.
When the Macleods sold Invergordon in 1921 the Hilton of Cadboll Stone and the Tarbat 1 stone were offered to the British Museum which accepted the stones. However a campaign by Scottish antiquarians led to the stones being moved to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh where they still remain.
In 2000 a replica of the Hilton of Cadboll Stone was erected close to its original site.
