| Dupplin Cross | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Dupplin Cross, St Serf's, Dunning: Our first stop of the day, and a very old, popular, tourist village. We first saw a drinking fountain outside the churchyard, almost at the cross roads.
By the southern door to the church were two hogbacks.
Inside was the Duppline Cross and a smaller cross s... Read More |

| Dunning | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Saw from a distance | 14th Jul 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Dunning North Standing Stone: From St Serf’s church, we walked along Kirk Wynd, down alongside the stream, down past some cottages, to where the footpath split. The standing stone was right in front of us, albeit in the middle of a ripening crop of wheat. It seemed very far away, and I was very,... Read More |

| St Andrew's Church (Forteviot) | Class III Pictish Cross Slab | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited (still working on) | 14th Jul 2018 | 3 | 5 | St. Andrew's, Forteviot: We drove up to this church to find a lovely local lady garden by the gate into the churchyard. She told us the church would be locked, "but it'll be open on 29th (July)." We explained we were only here for the day, so this was too late. She told us about the recently erec... Read More |

| Forteviot Cross | Sculptured Stone | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 5 | 4 | 5 | Modern Pictish Cross Slab, Forteviot: Having been spooked by the Maggie Wall Memorial and disappointed at not being able to get into Forteviot parish church (St. Andrews), the lady gardener told us to walk down the road to look at the new cross slab that had just been erected.
Just behind the bus... Read More |

| Gray Stone (Dunning) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The Gray Stone, Dunning: Thrilled to be seeing my second standing stone of the day (and one we were likely to get close to), we parked at the end of the driveway up to The Knowes farm. The stone is signposted, but the signpost follows the line of the fence and wood to the north west. Undecided whe... Read More |

| Castleton (Dollar) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Castleton Standing Stone, Pool of Muckhart: To find this stone, we followed the signs to the ‘Japanese’ garden, which had a large car park. The entrance and part of the car park were still in the process of being constructed, but was obviously just about to close for the night, so we parked as ... Read More |

| Parkmill Cross (Alloa) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Couldn't find | 14th Jul 2018 | -1 | Parkmill Cross, Alloa: Could not find this – the grid reference seemed to be somewhere in a breaker’s yard. Parking in the nearby housing estate just to the south west of this location, we followed the footpath sign to the footpath which ran west-east along the bottom of the field this cross ba...

| Mercat Cross (Clackmannan) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | The Mercat Cross, Clackmannan: The Mercat Cross, the Stone of Mannan and the Tolbooth are all in the same small area. When we arrived, it was about 6.40pm and the sun was low in the sky, giving deep shadows. Much to the amusement of the people drinking outside the pub behind the Tolbooth, I took a... Read More |

| Stone of Mannan | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Clackmannanshire | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Stone of Mannan, Clackmannan: I was surprised to find this only about 20m east of the Mercat Cross (refer to that page for the rest of my visit report). Right next to the market cross and the Tolbooth. See the report above. I was interested to read the plaque on the eastern wall of the Tolbooth: �... Read More |

| Market Cross (Kincardine) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Fife | Visited | 14th Jul 2018 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Mercat Cross, Kincardine: Our last stop of this very hot day, thankfully. This cross was in a very busy stop, next to the main bus stop in the town, with lots of take away shops around the ‘triangle’ of what might have been the village green. Not an impressive site, although the cross (apart f... Read More |
