Aberlemno

Aberlemno is a village in Angus, eastern Scotland, known for its group of Pictish carved stones. They include a symbol stone with the Pictish serpent and a churchyard cross-slab of the 8th century whose battle scene is often linked with the Pictish victory over the Northumbrians at Dun Nechtain in 685. It is one of the best places to see Pictish sculpture in its setting.
