Tour Scotland video of the replica of the Annunciation Stone in Abbot House on ancestry visit to Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. The stone is a graphic illustration of Luke, Chapter I, verses 28 to 38. With the angel Gabriel with outspread wings, and the Virgin Mary in an attitude of devotion. In his right hand the angel holds a sceptre, and in his left hand is a scroll, inscribed as follows:
AVE - GRATIA - PLENA - DNS - TECV
At the top is a human head and face with a crown of glory, the emblem of God the Father, and to the left, a dove. There is also shown a two-handed pot containing a lily, the emblem of purity. In the lower part of the stone is a shield bearing the arms of George Durie. The arms consist of a shield with a chevron between three crescents.
