Tullich Carved Stone Font

3D Model

This stone font is carved from a large coarse pink granite boulder. The date and age of the font are not known, however a late 18th Century Scroll Plan of the Invercauld Estate depicts a font outside the west wall of Tullich Church. The stone is circa 1.17m in diameter. The bowl or basin of the font is neatly carved, with vertical sides and a smooth flat base. There is a drain hole leading from the basin to the outer face of the stone. It is described as a “font” but its exact function is not known.
