Dupplin Cross

c. 800 · 9th century

The Dupplin Cross is a carved stone cross of about 800 that once stood on a hillside near Forteviot in Perthshire, Scotland. Its Latin inscription names Custantin son of Fergus, the Pictish king Constantín who ruled from 789 to 820. Carved with mounted warriors, foot soldiers and animals, it is one of the few free-standing crosses of the Pictish period to survive complete, and it is now kept in St Serf's Church, Dunning.
