Old Travel Blog Photograph Pictish Cross Slab Stone Loch Kinord Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of a Pictish Cross Slab Stone near Loch Kinord in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Situated on the shores of Loch Kinord the ancient Kinord stone is thought to date back to the 9th century. Notable features are the scrolled ends of The Cross, and the lack of symbols. The Kinord Stone was hewn from solid granite, enabling it to withstand the passage of 1,200 years. Christianity came to Royal Deeside in the 5th century. The ancient Picts were converted to Christianity, and carved the Kinord Stone to worship their new religion.
