Lost Pictish stone decorated with massive mythical beasts goes on show for first time


A previously unknown Pictish stone decorated with mythical beasts that was discovered by accident last year has gone on show for the first time.

Friday, 11th December 2020

The 1,200 -year-old stone was found in a church graveyard in the Conon Bridge area by an amateur archaeologist when she brushed away some leaves from a grave.

The rare find has been described as “uniquely significant” by Dr Isabel Henderson, who is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading authorities on the Picts and their culture.
