Abernethy
Abernethy lies to the south of the confluence of the rivers Earn and Tay and has produced a small but important collection of carved stones. They have all been trimmed for reuse as building stones, but they represent one Pictish symbol stone, at least four cross-slabs including one with part of an ogham inscription, and at least three free-standing crosses, one of which had a shaft carved with a fat plant scroll.
