The most impressive of all of the Pictish symbol stones

Difficult to appreciate how impressive this is from the description and numbers. Great that this amazing piece of ancient history is being well looked after now.

A lovely property with a spacious park. A lovely place to stop for a rest. More information at National Trust Scotland https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/brodie-castle

As noted the distillery is closed until further notice. You can walk around and peak in the windows but not much else. Check the website to confirm. Guessing it won’t reopen over the winter season.

Impressive 7 m high Pictish stone monolith from the 5th-9th century under a glass case.

The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1160, the current building dates from 1567. The small, pretty castle is worth a visit, as are the parks. There is a café right next to the castle. There is a rather elegant and large shop, Brodie Countryfair, with a large restaurant on the street by the car park. The restaurant also offers smaller meals and we can highly recommend it.

Have visited the stone 1991 - there it was not behind glass yet. I had put up my tent at the edge of the meadow near the stone. ---------------------------------------------------- Sueno's Stone is a Picto-Scottish Class III standing stone on the north-easterly edge of Forres in Moray and is the largest surviving Pictish style cross-slab stone of its type in Scotland, standing 6.5 metres in height. It is situated on a raised bank on a now isolated section of the former road to Findhorn. The stone is named after Sweyn Forkbeard, but this association has been challenge and it has also been associated with the killing of King Dubh mac Ailpin in Forres in 966. The stone was erected c. 850–950 but by whom and for what, is unknown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sueno%27s_Stone --------------------------------------------------- About 5 km south of the Sueno's Stone stands another similar stone. The Cross-Slab from Altyre House. https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1336285
