Class I Pictish Symbol Stones in Aberdeen and the Grampians

Additional Information supplied by Drew Parsons in September 2012: There are three Pictish Stones at the location. To reach them drive south from Rhynie centre on the A97 to turn left after 100 metres or so towards the Manse and cemetery. The stones are at the northern end of the car park for the cemetery. The famous Craw Stane is close by on a ridge south of here too. The site sign at these three stones also has information about the Craw Stane.
