The Picardy Stone has the following symbols carved into it: the double disc and Z-rod; the serpent and Z-rod; and the mirror. When excavated in the 19th Century, it was found that the stone was set in a cairn beneath which was a rectangular grave.
The Picardy Symbol Stone is located between Huntly and Inverurie off the B9002 on a beautiful tree-lined minor road north of the village of Insch in Aberdeenshire in Scotland.
