Museum in Fife
Two fragments of Pictish Class 1 stones were found in a steading at Westfield Farm in C19th and moved to the museum at Falkland Palace in 1971 when the steading was demolished.
Subsequently when that museum closed they were moved to Laing's Museum at Newburgh at NO 233 181.
The museum is open in the afternoons over the summer.
There is also a carved stone ball.
