This stone is on view in the remains of Dunkeld Cathedral, it is elaborately carved but weathered having been used as a gatepost. It is known locally as The Apostle's Stone. There are 12 figures carved on it plus beasts, one figure seems to have been beheaded. Like most of these sculptured stones no-one knows what is depicted.
