Scope and Content Cross-slab at Kingoldrum, Angus 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 has a cross on it which is filled with the key pattern. There is a snake-like creature on either side. Little is known about the meaning of the symbols but they are the most important information we have about the Picts. 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.
