Scope and Content Pictish cross-slab at Meigle, Perth and Kinross This stone is one of over thirty cross-slabs and sculptured stones found in or near the churchyard at Meigle. Most of the stones were discovered during the 19th century, many having been reused as building blocks in the church walls or a nearby kiln. This drawing shows the back face of a cross slab found in 1858 during the dismantling of Templehall malt-kiln. It features the lower part of a horseman set within a raised border. The horse's saddle-cloth and reins can be seen in the detailed carving. The carved stones at Meigle form one of the most important collections of Pictish and Early Christian sculpture in eastern Scotland. Most are carved in high relief, and a common theme is violence - between animals or men and animals. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
