Clach a' Charridh is a Pictish cross slab located at Shandwick in Easter Ross, Scotland. The monument dates to the early medieval period, likely the eighth or ninth century, and is carved from stone with a prominent cross design typical of Pictish sculptural traditions. The slab displays the characteristic incised cross and associated symbolic elements that reflect the Christian conversion of Pictish society during this era. As one of the significant Pictish monuments in the region, it represents an important example of early medieval ecclesiastical art and the material culture of the Northern Picts.
