Default Pictish carved beasts 'unlike anything found before'

Pictish carved beasts 'unlike anything found before'


A 1,200-year-old standing stone discovered in the Highlands has carvings never before seen on a Pictish stone, archaeologists have said.

The stone was found lying in the ground and covered by vegetation at an early Christian church site near Dingwall.

Archaeologists have now revealed the side of the stone that was down in the earth and hidden from view was decorated with “two massive beasts”.

Just over a metre of the original two metre-tall (6ft) stone survives.
