Outside the Strathnaver Museum located on the outskirts of the village of Bettyhill in the far north of Mainland Scotland is the Farr Stone, a prominent Pictish rectangular slab that stands in a vertical position a few yards west of the building. The basic design is a ringed cross, but this has been elaborated with decorated panels, blended with great skill to produce a harmonious whole. It probably dates from between 800 and 850 A.D.
