The Chisholm Stone stands by the roadside (in the grounds of the 'Chisholm Stone Hotel') above the E end of the bridge across the River Glass between Mauld and Struy. It stands near the site of the cottage that was the home of William Chisholm, who was a smith, armourer and standard bearer for the chief of Clan Chisholm, and his wife Christiana Ferguson. He was killed in the Battle of Culloden on 16/04/1746 and in memory she composed the Gaelic lament "Mo Run Geal Og" (My Fair Young Love). Their story was written in the Scots Magazine, April 1988, p54.
