Sutherland Gathering Stone
Shall we all gather?

"Ceann na Drochaide Bige", meaning "The Head of the Little Bridge"

This refers to the Clan's gathering place in Golspie, at which is the Gathering Stone. The inscription on the lower part reads in English, "The Chief of the Sutherlands Summons the Victorious Clan Sutherland to The Head of the Little Bridge". There is also an old inscription on the top part that is in Gaelic.
This lovely old postcard picture of the gathering stone was supplied by Shirley Sutherland, Golspie.
