From the Wikipedia article
The Hunter's Hill Stone, otherwise known as the Glamis 1 Stone, is a Class II Pictish standing stone at Hunter's Hill to the south east of Glamis village, Angus, Scotland. The symbol stone on Hunters Hill is probably in situ. Symbol stones are divided into two "classes". Class I are natural stones with carvings, while the later "Class II stones" have reliefs. The Hunters Hill stone is both. Originally a carved natural stone, it was later carved with a relief on the back. The other stone that has been reused in this way is the symbol stone of Glamis Manse, about 800 m to the west.
