On the way back from Torridon, we took a detour into Strathpeffer for a quick look at the Eagle Stone, so named - obviously - for the eagle carved on it below the 'horseshoe', another common Pictish symbol.

Its Gaelic name, Clach an Tiompain, doesn't actually mean 'Eagle Stone' - that would be something like Clach na h-Iolaire, though I'll admit I'm not certain of the grammar. I'm not totally sure what it does mean; Wikipedia says 'the Sounding Stone', but I'm not altogether confident of that translation.

The Clach a' Charaidh or Shandwick Stone

The Clach a' Charaidh or Shandwick Stone is a Class II Pictish stone located near Shandwick on the Tarbat peninsula in Easter Ross, Scotland. The cross faces the seaward side and the secular scene faces inland. The latter contains six panels, the first (from top to bottom) being a standard Pictish double-disc, the second being a Pictish beast and the third being a possible hunting scene, with warriors depicted alongside an eagle, a boar and various other creatures; the bottom three panels consist of woven patterns.

The stone is now encased in a glass cover room. The Gaelic name Clach a’ Charaidh means ‘stone of the grave-plots’: a burial ground here was recorded in 1889 as last used during the cholera epidemic of 1832 and ploughed under about 1885.

Barely discernable writing on a stone slab unearthed in Scotland and carved by the Pictish ‘Painted People’ of Scotland’s past has complicated an otherwise ‘tidy history’ of the area.

I have just learnt about one of the most unfortunate named places in the uk, it's from the scots gaelic "An Neag" meaning the notch, this place has had this name longer than a similar word has been used as a slur.

#cw slur? #kinda #it's just an unfortunate name really #it's just the thing that is has two gs which makes it worse I feel #it has a beautiful pictish stone too called the nigg stone #I feel they should go to the gaelic name for a while #Neag is a nice enough name
