Rare Pictish symbol stone found near site of famous ancient battle
Archaeologists have uncovered a Pictish symbol stone close to the location of one of the most significant carved stone monuments ever uncovered in Scotland.
The team from the University of Aberdeen hit upon the 1.7metre-long stone in a farmer’s field while conducting geophysical surveys to try and build a greater understanding of the important Pictish landscape of Aberlemno, near Forfar.

Great work, congratulations. Your efforts are so important to Scotland.
Truly incredible and amazing. Congratulations!
Wonderful and amazing I'm so happy that you've discovered an important part of our history and heritage and bringing us closer to our ancestors. I hope you enjoy learning more about our past and how the layers of our earth support that. Thank you for your amazing skills knowledge and expertise. Without you all we would never fully understand our past and place. With gratitude. Well done.
Congratulations on this amazing find, we ourselves have found musket balls white ones when digging in Aberlemno, brilliant find. I believe the symbol with the Z are to do with traveling like a compass.
THRILLING! Another Aberlemno stone! Can't wait to see it when possible!
I wish more could be deciphered so that we can get a bigger picture of who these people were and where they came from , not to mention how they lived .
That's a great find, congrats
What do you do with the surrounding area? meaning 100 feet in each direction? do you dig it up and look for more, or was this one spot well documented so you dug there? Always curious on these finds if they were by accident and if they expand the digging, because there could be a wealth of more information found near by.
Awesome. :) Well chufties for you. Such a rarity. And in such good condition. :)
God bless you
Does archaeology DESTROY history? Relocating artefacts for so-called preservation/conservation removes that item from it's TRUE context for all eternity. Once the records attached to or associated with the STUDY of these materials, whether correct or not in their analyses, are destroyed or simply vanish from public view, that contribution to the human historical record is forever deleted. Archaeological artefacts ought to be left in situ and studied in situ. imho.
Is Pictish period around the ends Roman invasion and starts of the Viking time?
I know what those symbols are. My ancestors were Picts. They then migrated to England and then Americas. On my mothers side of the Fletchers.

What do they mean then? ;)
No rare thing... Those petroglyphs are Celtic as they were brung by the conquerors of Mother Galicia: Kaaltee. Represent our ancestors of the Athlantia.
