Aberlemno

The following stones stand on the B9134 (road) from Forfar to Brechin.

Aberlemno 1 (also known as the 'Snake Stone') is a misshapen standing stone with Pictish symbols engraved on it. The symbols on one side: the serpent, double disc and Z-rod, and the mirror and crest. The meaning of these symbols is unknown. They are deeply engraved in a bold, confident line, and this stone is considered to be one of the finest and best preserved Pictish symbol stones still standing in or near its original position. The other side of the stone has prehistoric bowl impressions, suggesting it was reused.
