The Aberlemno 1 Pictish symbol stone is one of several Pictish stones found in Aberlemno, Angus, Scotland.
Location[edit]
It is one of the three Pictish stones located in recesses in the dry stone wall at the side of the B9134 road leading out of Aberlemno at Crosston, towards Brechin. It is the northernmost roadside stone.
Description[edit]
An unshaped standing stone of Old Red Sandstone, Aberlemno 1 leans to the left as viewed from the front, symbol bearing face. It bears incised Pictish symbols, placing it under J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's classification system as a Class I stone.[1] The carved symbols include a serpent, the double disc and Z-rod and the mirror and comb.[2] The meaning of these symbols is unknown. The rear face of the stone exhibits prehistoric cup marks, showing that it has been re-used.[3]
