Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, the Northern road side Pictish Standing Stone on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Aberlemno in Angus, Britain, United Kingdom. The symbols on one face: the serpent, the double disc and Z-rod and the mirror and comb. The meaning of these symbols is unknown. They are deeply incised in a bold, confident line, and this stone is considered to be one of the finest and best-preserved Pictish symbol stones still standing in or near its original position. The stone also exhibits prehistoric cup marks, showing that it has been re-used. There are over two hundred stones across Scotland with some form of Pictish symbol, many scattered across the Highlands. A Pictish stone is a type of monumental stele, generally carved or incised with symbols or designs by the Picts. 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 United Kingdom. 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.
