What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Forfar Loch, St Margaret's Inch as Cross Incised Stone (early Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to St Margaret, Queen of Scotland (d. 1093), the site is traditionally associated with her founding of a monastery at Dunfermline and her patronage of holy wells and islands used for retreat and prayer. St Margaret was known for her piety and efforts to reform monastic life in Scotland, and such sites often became centres for pilgrimage and healing traditions.
