Tour Scotland Video Pictish Carved Stone

Tour Scotland video of a Pictish Cross Slab Carved Stone in Meigle, Perthshire, Scotland. A free standing cross within the frame of the stone. Ancient animals carved into the background, including a large bird with a serpent in its mouth and a large animal with clawed feet. A Pictish stone is a type of monumental stele, generally carved or incised with symbols or designs. A few have ogham inscriptions. Located in Scotland, mostly north of the Clyde-Forth line and on the Eastern side of the country, these stones are the most visible remaining evidence of the Picts and are thought to date from the 6th to 9th century, a period during which the Picts became Christianized.
