Winter Drive To Pictish Symbol Stone In Abernethy Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland Winter travel video of a road trip drive, with Scottish bagpipes and drums music, to the Pictish Symbol Stone below the Pictish Round Tower on ancestry visit to Abernethy, Perthshire. The stone was found forming part of the foundations of a local house, and seems to have been trimmed at some point, resulting in the loss of parts of some of the symbols. The main symbol is of a vertical tuning fork, a relatively common Pictish symbol found carved on stones. Underneath it is another common symbol, a " crescent and V-rod. " Much more unusual are the carvings of a hammer, on one side of the tuning fork, and an anvil on the other.
