Later 17th century. Sandstone. Slim Corinthian capitalled column set upon corniced square pedestal with wide octagonal base, surmounted by lion.
Formerly Scheduled Ancient Monument No 1648, scheduled 12/03/1963 and descheduled on 12/05/2016.
It is presumed to have been erected by Patrick Lyon, third Earl of Kinghorne and first Earl of Strathmore, who inherited the Huntly Castle estate in circa 1660. He erected a similar cross at Glamis. Towards the end of the eighteenth century the cross was removed to the policies of Castle Huntly, but in 1989 was re-erected at its present site. See also the NOTES to Castle Huntly. The capital and lion is considerably weathered.
