Westhaugh of Tulliemet is a cross slab situated in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument stands on bedrock of the Southern Highland Group, sedimentary rocks formed during the Middle Cambrian period, comprising psammite and pelite that have been subject to considerable geological compression and metamorphism over more than 500 million years. The slab is positioned approximately 180 metres south-east of Tulliemet itself.
Cross slabs of this type typically date to the Early Medieval period in Scotland, ranging from around the 6th to 10th centuries. They represent a distinctive form of Christian monument, carved with incised or relief crosses and often other symbolic designs. Such slabs frequently served as markers of burial places, territorial boundaries, or sites of religious significance within early Pictish and Scottish communities.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under the reference number SM1628, ensuring its preservation as an important archaeological and cultural asset. Its survival on the ancient metamorphic bedrock of Perthshire contributes to our understanding of early Christian practices and settlement patterns in medieval Scotland.
