Carved south face of Clach Ard C7thAD Class I Pictish symbol stone, Tote, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK. There are three sets of symbols incised on the best face of the basalt pillar: at the top a crescent & V-rod with floriate ends; in the middle a vertically set double-disc and Z-rod with floriate ends; at the bottom a mirror and comb, very worn but the circular mirror & its short handle with a round knob (L) & the lower teeth of the comb (R) are still visible. The crescent & discs were decorated by small circles with round dots at their centres. The stone was recognised in 1880 being re-used as a door jamb in a nearby cottage, it was set up here (NG 421491) in a stone base on a ridge above Tote township half a mile N of Skeabost Bridge. It stands 1.41m high above the stone base. The slab was trimmed at its base for use as a door jamb & wear near the bottom may have been caused by use of the stone as a tethering post.
