The building, which stands within the lands of the old Culdees monastery, dates from the eighteenth century. Originally consisting of a byre, stable and cattle rede, it was renovated during the 1990s to house the Museum. In keeping with the aim of preserving the building's heritage, some of the original features, such as the internal stone walls and an area of cobbled floor, have been left visible.

The design on the front face of the stone is in complex relief,. There are two rows of figures visible, although only the top or bottom half of each row can be seen. The upper row shows five churchmen in richly decorated robes, the first carrying a crozier, the second a set of scales, the third a scourge, the fourth an unidentified item (possibly a harp), and the fifth, another crozier. All that can be seen of the lower row of figures is their hooded heads. The other three faces of the stone have been completely defaced.

" Movable Heritage "" text/plain Alias/WaveFront Object 3D Object "" text/plain Alias/WaveFront Object 3D Object "This fragment comprises the upper part of a tenth-century cross-shaft, sculptures in relief, and was found int he jamb of a cottage doorway, about 1890. One one side, the upper half of the design shows part of the Crucifixion scene, with the crucified Christ, the sponge bearer and the spear bearer. Beneath this scene are the heads of the three hooded figures. Allen assumes that these figures are female and Butler refers to them as the 'Three Maries', who would be a part of the crucifixion scene. However, so little can be seen of the figures that it is uncertain that they are female and they may be male clerics in a separate scene. Groups of three figures facing forward often occur in Celtic pagan art, and although this is definitely a Christian stone, the motif may have been adopted for use in Christian times. The other side is very weathered but shows traces of interlace. It is very difficult to make out the decoration, but there may be a defaces cross in the centre of the deign and the figure of a man in the bottom left corner. Red sandstone, 58cm high x 38cm x 16cm thick. NMRS no: NO11NE83, Location: National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh (RMS: IB255, currently on display).
