"Meigle Pictish Stones, Perth and Kinross" Top 5 Page for this destination Scotland Things to Do Tip by stevezero

The village of Meigle is justly proud of its impressive collection of ancient stones, all of which were found in the vicinity and represent one of the finest collections of Pictish monuments in the country. There are many legends associated with these ancient stones but perhaps the most romantic is that of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. Arthur's Stone was found on the estate of Arthurstone (from which the estate took its name). Unfortunately, this stone was utilised during the building of Arthurbank farm in 1791. Another very large stone of considerable historical interest is the MacBeth Stone, which was found at Belmont Castle.
The Museum at displays 26 carved stones dating from the late eighth to the late tenth centuries. Making up one of the most important collections of early medieval sculpture in Western Europe, they are all that survives of a centre of Pictish wealth and patronage.
