The Glamis Manse symbol stone, a remarkably impressive example of a Pictish cross slab measuring 2.8m (or over nine feet) high. it is very unusual in that it seems to have been carved in two stages, possibly at widely different times.

Perfectly camouflaged, but spotted this beauty. As soon as I got close, it lifted one leg at me (in defense)? Then, flipped itself onto its back and played dead. I flipped it back over, and it happened again. So stinkin' cute. #weevil #StayCurious #Glamis

The 1.5m high Hunters Hill Stone, a Pictish symbol stone in woods to the east of Glamis in Angus. It probably still stands where it was first erected and is carved with a cross on one side and a snake and two symbols on the other.

The view from the south of the splendid Glamis Castle in Angus, as near a perfect Scottish castle as you could imagine. Never quite symmetrical from any angle, this is one of the most visually pleasing castles in Scotland. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glamis/glamiscastle/index.html

Hello world! I’m an archaeologist in Scotland keen to involve new folk with archaeology. Currently working on a range of exciting projects from roleplay games to volunteering campaigns.
When I was little I lived for a while in a little village in Scotland in a house with a huge Pictish stone in the garden. Witness the terror of the Pictish past in these commemorative postcards.
