Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the Lindores Pictish Symbol Stone on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Abdie near Newburgh in North Fife. This sculptured symbol stone has a triple disc symbol and crescent and V-rod symbol, together with later sundial. The stone originally stood on the crest of Kaim Hill. It was removed and incorporated in a garden wall in Grange of Lindores before being moved to the Morthouse of Abdie Church. A Pictish stone is a type of monumental stele, generally carved or incised with symbols or designs. A few have ogham inscriptions. Located in Scotland, mostly north of the Clyde to Forth line and on the Eastern side of the country, these stones are the most visible remaining evidence of the Picts and are thought to date from the 6th to 9th century, a period during which the Picts became Christianized. The earlier stones have no parallels from the rest of the British Isles. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day
