Chalice Stone
The Chalice Stone ( German Kelchstein ; Gaelic Clach na h-Aidhrinn ) in Glen Roy is a stone used in the 18th century as a mass rock ( German Messestein , Altar ). After the last Jacobite revolt in 1745, it was used for secret services during the persecution of Catholics by the Duke of Cumberland .
The stone stands on the steep bank of the River Roy in Roybridge, northeast of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands .
The scarcely hewn boulder bears the incision of a chalice and a host on the west side , dating from the time of persecution.
