Aberlemno Pictish Stones

After leaving the castle we drove about twenty minutes to see these old Pictish Stones that date from the eighth or ninth centuries.

This is the largest of the three stones at Aberlemno. I had read about them in a couple of newspaper articles.

The back of the stone is even more interesting.

It gives you an idea of how tall they are.

Note the canola in the background.

View on the way back. It's beautiful countryside.
