Digitised copy of a stone rubbing, undated. Below a foliated cross and flanked by plant scrolls is a two handed sword of the type known as a claymore. The quillons of the claymore end in quatrefoil and there are slight traces of decoration on the scabbard. This stone has the earliest known representation of a claymore (Monumental Sculpture by Steer & Bannerman). The grave is located in Kirkapol, in the little graveyard (An Cladh Beag). A record for this grave is available on the Tiree Graves website. The rubbing comes from Lord Archibald Campbell’s collection of monument rubbings.
