Re: Picardy Stone by jeffrep on Wednesday, 20 February 2008

The Pictish Picardy Symbol Stone dates from the 6th or 7th Century A.D. It is believed to be a memorial pillar set up by local farmers. Still in its original position, it commands a view of the hillfort of Dunnideer on the hills beyond. 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.
