This stone, along with the nearby Aberlemno stones is thought to have been carved to depict the battle of Battle of Dun Nechtain. This happened around AD 680 and commemorated a decisive victory of the Picts over the Northumbrians. There is debate over where the battle actually took place, it was thought to be here, but evidence suggests that it may have actually been further north. Today you can visit this standing stone and create a loop to also visit Aberlemno. It's a nice ride from Forfar.

Arguably the historic precursor to Bannockburn in securing Scottish independence, the Battle of Dun Nechtain or Nechtansmere in 685ce halted the northern expansion of the Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria. A feigned retreat by the Picts drew the Northumbrians into an ambush at Dun Nechtain, believed to be the hill just to the NW of the modern village. The battle ended with a decisive Pictish victory which severely weakened Northumbria's power in northern Britain. The Northumbrian king was killed in the battle, along with the greater part of his army. The Pictish victory marked their independence from Northumbria, who never regained their dominance in the north.
