This beautiful stone was carried from the banks of the River Dee by the infamous Scottish stone lifter, John Gibb, also known as "the Highland Wolf."

The stone was then presented to Englishman Jamie Oates at the end of a stone tour, symbolizing their shared brotherhood and passion for stone lifting.

It traveled 600 miles south, finding its new home in Tamworth, England. The stone is now located at Common Barn Farm, where it will be used to test the strength of both local residents and visitors to the area.

Feats of strength for this stone include getting "wind under the stone" (breaking it from the ground), lifting it to the chest, and lifting it to the shoulder. Completing any of these feats is considered a successful lift.
