Mounie Castle Symbol Stone is an ancient carved stone located approximately fifteen metres south of Mounie Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The stone dates to the Pictish period, likely between the sixth and ninth centuries, and belongs to the tradition of symbol stone carving that characterises early medieval northeastern Scotland. Such stones typically feature incised or relief-carved symbols including abstract designs and animal motifs, which scholars believe held significant cultural, territorial, or commemorative meaning within Pictish society. The survival of this stone near the castle site provides evidence of Pictish occupation and activity in the area during the early medieval period.
