Class II Pictish Symbol Stone in Perthshire

There is a small parking bay just inside the entrance to this site; from there walk 250 yards up the drive then up a steep flight of steps (signposted). The stone is well protected by a stone box but unfortunately the glass sides make photography near-impossible.

Scotland's carved Pictish stones re-imagined in colour by Andy B on Saturday, 24 June 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
Archaeologists have been uncovering ornately decorated Pictish stones across northern Scotland for many years.

For many, the sculptures' mysterious carvings of animals and symbols are impressive as they are.

But some scholars suggest their ancient creators may also have painted the stones, bringing out in vivid colours their carved salmon, ravens, wolves, boars and even a battle scene.

Working with experts, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) has created new interpretation panels for some of the best-known Pictish stones.

Archaeologists and historians have long debated the origins and activities of the Picts, HES says the idea they painted their carved stones is speculative.

This stone is a nightmare to photograph because of the reflecting glass.
