What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Gellyburn 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.
Gellyburn 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 symbols, though the specific meaning or folklore associated with this example is not recorded.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
