Tour Scotland photograph of St. Serfs Church in Dunning, Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland. The 12th or 13th century former parish church of St. Serf, where the Dupplin Cross is displayed in Dunning
Tour Scotland video of the Dupplin Cross in Dunning, Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland. The Dupplin Cross is a carved, monumental Pictish stone, which dates from around 800A.D. It was first recorded by Thomas Pennant in 1769, on a hillside in Strathearn, a little to the north of Forteviot and Dunning. The Dupplin Cross is a high cross, that is a free-standing stone cross. The cross is carved from Old Red Sandstone. It is carved with various scenes, religious, martial and traditional Pictish animal carvings. The cross can be viewed in the 12th century tower of St Serf's church in Dunning. If you haven't seen the Dupplin Cross, I would urge you to visit between April and September.
