Groam House Museum
This Pictish cross-slab is fabulous – for its craftsmanship, its symbols and its Christian messaging. There are so many stories to share and questions to ask about its quarrying, design and context. Even its shape is unusual – it’s wider at the top than the bottom, giving the viewer the optical illusion that it is actually perfectly rectangular.
How cool is that?

Christian beliefs on the stone all those years ago just says it all for The Black Isle
