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



Tour Scotland video of the Pictish Standing Stone of Sauchope in Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. This stone originally stood near the farm of Sauchope on a small tumulus, now destroyed, about 30 or 40 yards south east of the public road leading from Crail in the direction of Fife Ness. A number of years ago it was moved from the cultivated land to a position on the southern margin of the road, and in 1929 it was taken up and removed to Victoria Gardens, in the burgh of Crail. There are traces of a cross on one side and of sculptures on the other, but the details are so badly defaced as to be indecipherable. The stone is 1 foot 9 inches broad with an average thickness of 7 ½ inches.
