The Sueno’s Stone was most likely sculpted by Picts to commemorate a battle against Viking invaders.
Local folklore, however, argues that this was the crossroads where Macbeth originally met the three witches. In the legend, they were eventually imprisoned inside the stone—should the stone be broken they would be released.
