The Maiden Stone is a Pictish cross slab that stands about 3 meters tall and probably dates to the 9th century AD. Its front is carved with a cross that has a human figure gripped by fish monsters at its top and its back has a range of Pictish symbols, a Pictish beast and a centaur. Few symbol-bearing cross slabs have been found in North-East Scotland. Dyce Symbol Stones, also in Historic Scotland's care, are similar examples found in the area.
