TY - JOUR AU - Ralph Carr PY - 1867/11/30 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - On the Inscriptions upon the Stone at Newton Insch, Aberdeenshire, and on the Inscriptions on a sculptured Stone at St Vigean's, Forfarshire JF - Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland JA - PSAS VL - 7 IS - 0 SE - Articles DO - 10.9750/PSAS.007.11.23 UR - http://journals.socantscot.org/index.php/psas/article/view/5310 AB - The author argues that Anglo-Saxon runes were used in inscriptions that otherwise used Latin characters or the Norman-French language, based on the preference of the carver. Using this argument he attempts a translation of the Newton Stone suggesting that some Gaelic or Anglo-Saxon characters may have been used alongside the primary Latin inscription. He then goes on to translate the inscription on the stone at St Vigeans using the same methodology. ER -
