Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Kilduncan Pictish Stone on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the cathedral ruins in St Andrews, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. This relatively small early medieval cross slab is elaborately carved in relief on all five faces, all of which are framed by a plain flatband moulding. Face A which you can see in the video bears an equal armed cross outlined by a roll moulding and filled with dense interlace, with large circular closed armpits. The roll moulding forming the armpits extends into the spaces between the arms of the cross to become lentoid shapes filled with interlace, forming two opposing sets of interlace designs. The lentoids are themselves flanked on either side by bosses. The lower arm stands on a base filling the width of the slab and divided into certainly five and probably six panels by roll mouldings. Immediately below the lower arm of the cross is a panel containing pairs of spirals, and this is flanked by panels of interlace. The tops of two more panels of ornament survive beneath the central and right-hand panels. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
