Tour Scotland Travel Video Small Pictish Celtic Cross Stone St Bean's Church Fowlis Wester Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the small Pictish Cross Stone in St Bean's Church on ancestry visit to Fowlis Wester, Perthshire, Scotland. This cross shows two ancient priests seated on ornate chairs with others standing below. The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring that emerged in Ireland and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. A type of ringed cross, it became widespread through its use in the stone high crosses erected across the islands, especially in regions evangelized by Irish missionaries, from the 9th through the 12th centuries.
