Re: Dunino Den by Sunny100 on Wednesday, 04 January 2012

The 3 foot-high stone in the St Andrew's kirkyard has a thin cross carved onto its side and, what might be some faint pock marks. There used to be a sundial on the top of the stone but now coins are frequently left as an offering. The cross was probably carved in 800 AD.

This stone once formed part of a prehistoric stone circle - indeed there are some large stones built into the church porch and there used to be three standing stones in the vicar's garden. Other stones can still be found in a dyke to the south-west of the church. Dunino was where the Dark Age kings of Scotland were inaugurated.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
