Scope and Content Shandwick stone, Pictish cross-slab, Nigg, Ross and Cromarty Dr John Stuart was the founder of The Spalding Club, Aberdeen, which was formed to record the history of the North East. In 1856 he published 'The Sculptured Stones of Scotland'. It contained detailed drawings of the Pictish Stones. The front of the cross-slab is decorated with a cross covered with spiral work. Around the cross there are angels, beasts and interlace panels. This stone has been dated to mid or later 9th century, after the takeover of Pictland by the Scots. The Picts were a people living in Scotland north of the Forth and Clyde. They were known as Picts - 'painted ones' - from the 3rd century. We know nothing of their pagan religion, but they converted to Christianity in the 6th-7th centuries. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
