Scope and Content Pictish cross-slab from 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 both faces of the upper part of a Pictish cross-slab. On the front, only the head of the cross remains, with its rounded armpits and interlace decoration. At the bottom left corner is the upper half of a double-disc symbol. On the reverse is a figure mounted on a horse and carrying a spear. 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.
