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.

In the late 1860s the landowner, Macleod of Cadboll, took the stone to his seat of Invergordon Castle.
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.
