PICTISH SCULPTED STONES

PERMANENT DISPLAY AT THE MUSEUM

The museum’s superb display of Pictish sculpted stones inlcudes The Rosemarkie Stone, a highly unusual cross-slab with its intense designs standing 2.6m high.

Through their fabulous art and design the stones tell stories of the power of kings, church and saints. They speak of an early Christian monastery that is hidden under the buildings of our village. This exhibition give an idea of the importance of Rosemarkie 1,250 years ago.
