The Newton Stone: Three Views
Three views record different surfaces of a single elongated inscribed monument. Waddell’s caption identifies the Newton Stone and offers his proposed Phoenician interpretation. Historic Environment Scotland identifies the monument as an early Pictish stone bearing an ogham inscription and another partly unresolved text. The photograph documents the object; Waddell’s reading remains a distinct historical claim.
