Tour Scotland Autumn photograph of the Pictish Stone at Fowlis Wester, Perthshire, Scotland. A tall cross-slab with Pictish symbols, scenes and ornate decoration. The original is now in the village church; a replica stands in the village square. Of all the early historic peoples of Scotland, the Picts capture the popular imagination like no other. Although archaeology is gradually uncovering more information about how they lived, they are still best known for their carved monuments, which offer remarkable testimony to their artistic skills. The symbol stones of the Picts are among the most fascinating and enigmatic groups of early medieval sculpture. The purpose and meaning of the stones and carvings still remain something of a mystery
