Gellyburn Hunting Scene Pictish Symbol Stone With Music On History Visit To Edinburgh Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of the Gellyburn hunting scene Pictish Stone on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the National Museum in Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. This symbol stone was found during ploughing in 1886 near the confluence of the Gelly Burn with the River Tay in Perthshire. One broad face of this slab is carved in relief within a plain flatband border, leaving a deep uncarved lower part of the slab. In the centre of the panel is a pair of confronting sea horses with fish tails, ears, fins and forelegs touching. To their left are two fighting human figures, one with a bird head and the other an animal head, who are armed with swords and circular shields. To the right of the sea horses is a naked man pursued by a ferocious beast, and a goggle eyed serpentine creature with a fish tail. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
