Tour Scotland photograph of The Eassie Stone, a carved Pictish stone at the village of Eassie, Angus, Scotland. The stone is in a good state of preservation, and stands within a ruined church. One side has a cross filled with interlace patterns, the shaft of the cross is flanked by carved figures with a warrior bearing a spear and shield on the left and animals including a stag on the right. The upper portion of the cross is flanked by angels. The reverse of the cross has a variety of Pictish symbols and figures, including cloaked figures, more animals, a double disc and Z-rod, a Pictish Beast.
