Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Standing Stone of Sauchope Crail East Neuk Of Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of the Pictish Standing Stone of Sauchope in Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. A Pictish Class III sculptured cross slab, dating probably from the 8th or 9th century AD. It stands in Victoria Gardens, having been moved from its original position near Sauchope in 1851, and moved again in 1929 to its current location. It is a roughly oblong block of sandstone which stands 1.4m high and is 0.6m wide. The stone is carved on both faces. On the South face the ornament comprises a hunting scene with two, or possibly three, figures on horseback and least one dog. A haloed cross with two dogs beneath it has been carved on the North face.
