Tour Scotland photograph Aberlemno Pictish Stone, Angus, Scotland. Aberlemno Stone on the B9134 Forfar to Brechin Road in Angus. Aberlemno 1 is the central roadside stone. It is an unshaped Celtic standing stone, bearing incised Pictish symbols. The symbols on one face: the serpent, the double disc and Z-rod and the mirror and comb. The meaning of these symbols is unknown. They are deeply incised in a bold, confident line, and this stone is considered to be one of the finest and best-preserved Pictish symbol stones still standing in or near its original position.
