Old Photographs Menmuir Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Menmuir village located in Angus, Scotland. Neolithic cup and ring marked stones have been found in the area. Bronze age archaeology has been found nearby, with a short cist burial found a mile to the south-east of the village, containing bones and a flint spearhead, and a bronze axehead found nearby. The Brown Caterthun and the White Caterthun, hillforts dating from the iron age, can also be seen nearby. A number of Pictish symbol stones have been found in Menmuir, including a cross-slab and a sculptured stone found in the kirkyard around 1844 when an old wall was demolished, three fragments, found in the grounds of the village Manse in 1943. These point to Menmuir having been a centre of some ecclesiastical importance in the early Medieval period.
