Asset Overview

Three fragments of early historic/Pictish symbol stones and part of a cross-shaft decorated with knotwork built into the east gable of St Peter's Parish Church, Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland c.1904 (https://canmore.org.uk/site/19032/fyvie-st-peters-church). The cross-shaft and the right-hand stone are from the site of the Church, but the other fragments comre from elsewhere. The upper fragment was moved from the garden at Rothiebrisbane, but is said to have originally come from the old country road between Rayne and Auchterless (https://canmore.org.uk/site/19102/rothiebrisbane). The 'elephant' stone (left) was previously built into the front wall of Fyvie schoolhouse. Model produced by Dr Hugo Anderson-Whymark, 23/04/22
