Scope and Content Symbol stone known as Aberlemno 1 at Aberlemno, Angus Drawing of two pictish stones, labled Aberlemno 1 and St Vigeans 5. This is a drawing of the stones which appeared in John Stuart's 1856 publication 'The Sculptured Stones of Scotland'. Aberlemno 1 stands at the side of the road but is due to be moved to help preserve it. A small cairn used to stand next to the stone and stone coffins with human bones were found in the field behind it. Cup-marks suggest the stone was reused. The St Vigeans collection, named after the nearby church, consists of over 30 Pictish carved stones. The collection includes cross-slabs, free-standing crosses and recumbent tombstones. They were rediscovered in the graveyard or built into the walls of the church during 19th century rebuilding. The NW face of Aberlemno 1 is depicted. At the top is a serpent, with a double-disc and Z-rod below it. Below is a mirror-and-comb. The St Vigeans stone is more rectangular and divided into three vertical areas. The central area is decorated with scrolls and knots. The left 'panel' is uncarved except for a mirror symbol near the top. A bird has been carved on the right with a serpent above it.
