A team from Aberdeen University managed to access and investigate the Dunnicaer site where these Pictish stones were found. Their discovery of a significant Pictish settlement is explained in a fascinating short video which shows a full reconstruction of the site as it was before the supporting landscape fell into the sea.

Four fragments of Pictish stone/s have been built into the wall of an orchard at Beannachar. Beannachar is now a Camphill Community for young adults with learning difficulties but permission to view the stones was readily given at the Office. Beannachar lies on the south side of the B9077 just west of the Aberdeen City boundary.

The actual Dunnicaer stones came from a rock stack just south of Stonehaven at NO884847. There were six stones including a cuboid with carvings on four faces (now lost) and the other one is on display in the museum at Marischal College.
