Tour Scotland Photograph Pictish Stone Kettins

Tour Scotland photograph of the Pictish Stone at Kettins, Scotland. The cross slab stands beside the northern boundary wall of Kettins churchyard, facing the north side of the parish church. The slab is Old Red Sandstone, was possibly quarried in Kettins parish. The six foot high stone is a tapering rectangular slab fixed into a nineteenth century base and supported by iron fittings. Decoration survives only on the front face. The cross slab has stood in its present location for around 150 years. It was found around 1865, in use as a footbridge over the Kettins Burn, which runs beside the Church. The front of the cross slab is very worn, with much of its detail no longer visible
