Scope and Content Pictish symbol stone at Keillor, Perth and Kinross Standing on top of a cairn, this Pictish symbol stone is situated about 300m north-west of High Keillor steading. This drawing shows the three symbols incised on the granite slab. At the top is an animal, perhaps a wolf, beneath is a double-disc and 'Z-rod' motif, and at the bottom is a mirror. Over 200 Pictish symbol stones are known in Scotland, employing a variety of symbols. Carvings drawing on the real world, such as objects and animals, are found in conjunction with detailed abstract designs and fantastic creatures. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
