In 1887 a Class II symbol stone was discovered when the ground was levelled in front of the manse at Alyth (NO 2450 4885). The stone (a slab of grey schist 1.37m long, 0.45m wide and up to 0.13m thick) now stands in the porch of Alyth High Kirk. The front bears a Latin cross with an unusual tenon at the base of the shaft; the arms and shaft of the cross are decorated with interlace and there are spirals in the angles between the arms. On the reverse there is a Pictish carving compromising a fragmentary double-disc and Z-rod symbol.
