Sculptured Symbol Stone at Newton Op Lewesk, Rayne SCULPTURED SYMBOL STON9 27 T RAYNEA E . IV. DESCRIPTION OF SCULPTURED SYMBOL STONE AT RAYNE AND SMALL CROSS AT CULSALMOND, ABERDEENSHIRE. BY JAMES RITCHIE, F.E.I.S., CORK. MEM. S.A. SCOT. SCULPTURED SYMBOL STON NEWTOT EA LEWESKP NO , RAYNE. The parish of Rayne lies fully twenty miles north-west of Aberdeen, and can be reached from either Inveramsay or Oyne stations on the main line of the Great North of Scotland Railway, or from Wartle station on the Macduff branch. From an antiquarian point of view it is rather an interesting parish. Lowrin Fair (i.e. Lawrence Fair), much frequente olden di n times stild f considerablan ,o l e importances ,i held annually in August at the village of Old Rayne. To it people gathered from far and near, and much business was transacted, not only sale f horseth o e n than d i cattle i f mant an so t bu ,y other kindf o s merchandise. It is recorded that on one occasion, Leslie, the laird of Pitcaple, an estate in the neighbouring parish, bought up all the wine to be had at the Fair, in anticipation of an approaching royal visit. Of frequene th t disputes whic hcommemorates i e Fair arose th t on , a e n di Tullidaffs Cairn, which marks the spot where Leslie of Wardes slew e lair th f Tullidaffdo . The old market cross (fig. 1) stands in the centre of the village, and in its shaft are embedded one or two fragments of iron, all that remain of the jougs, an old Scottish instrument of punishment, which, it may be presumed, was in frequent use during the time of the Fair. In the same village, too, there lived John Montgomery 168n i o 6 erecte,wh e dth fine Market Cross which still forms so prominent an object in the Castlegate of Aberdeen. Near the Parish Church lies the Bowman's Stone (fig. 2), where in olden times the men used to assemble to practise shooting with the bow, so that they might be ready to defend their homes when occasion required.

    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.
