Tour Scotland video of a Pictish Class III Cross Slab stone in the Parish Church on ancestry visit to Crail, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The stone was retrieved in 1815, having been used as a paving stone in the floor for more than fifty years. 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. The earlier stones have no parallels from the rest of the British Isles.
