Known as a Class 1 Pictish Stone, the Knocknagael Boarstone was removed from its original site by Historic Scotland, to the foyer of the Highland Council chambers. It’s accessible to the public via a buzzer system. Believed to have been carved about 700-800 AD, and standing about six feet high, the stone is well worth a visit.
