Kirriemuir sculptured stones

Their existence points to Kirriemuir being an important ecclesiastical centre in the late first millennium AD.

The slab is carved on both faces in relief and, as it bears Pictish symbols, it falls into John Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's classification system as a class II stone.

[1][2] The stone bears a number of figural representations and a mirror and comb symbol.

[3] The stone is one of the latest to include pictish symbols and can be dated with confidence to the late 9th/early 10th century.

It too contains Pictish symbols and falls into John Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's classification system as a class II stone.
