Tullich 13 stands out as one of 27 intricately carved stones unearthed at the Tullich Church site in Aberdeenshire. This distinctive stone boasts an equal-armed outline cross design, characterized by a skeuomorphic style where the horizontal arm crosses over the vertical. Notably, it's the sole stone of its kind discovered at Tullich. Crafted from coarse pink granite, the stone measures 430 x 410 x 60-90mm and features a roughly circular shape. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, but experts believe it was unearthed sometime between 1922 and 1968, likely during excavations around the church. Unfortunately, the exact location of its discovery remains unknown. For further details on this stone and site, visit the Aberdeenshire HER.
