Changeable weather at Broomend of Crichie complex near Inverurie for today's #StandingStoneSunday

A Neolithic henge (a circular earthwork with an external ditch) contains the remains of a stone circle. Two stones remain, the third is a carved Pictish symbol stone that was moved into the site later. There is also an avenue and various outlying stones.

Visited April 2012.

Three large standing stones inside a grass-covered circular earthen bank. The stone on left is carved with Pictish symbols and is not original to the monument. It's very overcast with heavy grey rainclouds filling the sky.

The Brandsbutt symbol stone in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, which comes complete with Pictish symbols and an inscription in Ogham, a script sometimes referred to as the "Celtic Tree Alphabet". More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/inverurie/brandsbuttstone/index.html

The Brandsbutt symbol stone in Inverurie. The image shows a large irregularly-shaped stone surrounded by a flat gravel surface and backed by a low stone wall with bushes. The face of the stone has a series of Pictish symbols carved into it and a nearly vertical edge in the centre of the frame has a column of short horizontal markings wrapping round the two sides of a corner.

The original, non-glitched version will be available this week as well if it's of interest 🤓. I'm also working on making my dataset available to the public (it's currently handwritten in my notebooks). #dataVisualization #archaeology #symbols #Pictish

Data visualization with multicoloured lines, a map of Scotland, and a greyscale graphic of a Pictish stone faintly behind the data, showing the V-rod crescent symbol at the top. The graphic is titled "A Sample of Pictish Ideograms by Scottish Shire". The information designer is Leah Brown, 2024.

The intricately carved 21ft high Sueno's Stone, standing on the edge of Forres in Moray, is the largest and most spectacular of the many carved stones that have survived from the early medieval period in Scotland.

Sueno's Stone. The image shows a view from slightly below of a tall transparent box supported by metal corner pillars and frame. Within the box is a tall carved stone with row upon row of carved figures in a very complex arrangement. There’s a low wall to the left with a seat and houses in the background. The scene is in sunlight.

I have always lived in an area surrounded by Pictish symbols so had to incorporate them into a mandala.

We have had our annual monitoring day today, where we log and photograph the conditions of all of the assets in our care at the Wemyss coast.
Caves, paths (not the Fife Coastal Path) and carvings.
And the weather was mostly wonderful, although the most recent storms have made the paths pretty tricky to navigate in places.
Looking forward to welcome visitors back for tours from the 7th April!
