What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pabbay 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.
Pabbay is likely associated with the Pictish period (circa 4th to 9th century AD) and may have functioned as a memorial or territorial marker, given its classification as a cross slab and symbol stone. Pictish stones often combined Christian and native symbolic motifs, though specific meanings or folklore related to this example are not recorded.
