What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Strathmartine as Cross Slab (pictish), Pictish Symbol Stone (pictish). 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.
Strathmartine is likely from the Pictish period (circa 4th to 9th century AD) and may have functioned as a memorial or territorial marker, as suggested by its classification as a cross slab and symbol stone. Pictish stones often combined Christian and native iconography, though the specific meaning or folklore associated with this example is not recorded.
