Hilton of Cadboll, or simply Hilton is a village about nine miles southeast of Tain in Easter Ross,[1] on the North Sea coast of Ross-shire, on the Tarbat Peninsula. This place is famous for the Hilton of Cadboll Stone: a 'class II' highly decorated Pictish stone discovered here (and now kept in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh).
