Title
Early 19th-century sketch of the Odin Stone
Description
"An early 19th-century sketch of the Odin Stone by Elizabeth, Marchioness of Stafford. Given the exaggerated landscape surrounding the stone, it is unlikely that this is a particularly accurate reproduction." - Sigurd Towrie (http://orkneyjar.com/history/odinstone/index.html?msclkid=d735337cc28111ec9ec676e47af4bd37).
The stone was destroyed in 1814 by Captain W. MacKay as discussed more in the Odin Stone site on the interactive map.
