The Dandaleith stone is a Class I Pictish stone from Craigellachie, Scotland. It was discovered in May 2013 during ploughing.[1]

The exact location of the find is currently unreported due to the archaeological vulnerability of the site. The stone underwent conservation before going on display at Elgin museum.[1][2]
