Rare Pictish stone found in Orkney



The saying goes, scratch the surface in Orkney and it bleeds archaeology.  Recently after storm tides etc a rare Pictish stone was found on the Orkney Mainland, revealed by the tide.  See full details here

    Amazing what the weather will uncover! The cross slab seems to have held up well, considering its age. The relief work still looks so vibrant.
