What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Milton of Crathes as Cross Incised Stone(s) (early Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to St. Moluag, an early Christian saint associated with the Pictish church, the site may have been a place of pilgrimage or ritual. Local tradition suggests the name "Milton" (from "Moluag's town") reflects an ancient religious settlement or holy well area connected to healing or spiritual practices.
