In the village of Meigle a few miles from Alyth and The Singing Kettle you will find Meigle Museum. It was once a Village School but now houses 30 Pictish Standing Stones. These artefacts, which well reward closer study, carry much Christian symbolism (they come from a time shortly after this people converted to Christianity) and are studded with imagery of wild and domestic animals, intricate designs and the people themselves.
The Picts were a formidable Race. They may not have left a language but they were highly cultured, operated something very close to a democracy and even defeated the Romans in a sea battle.
Why not take time to look into Angus's fascinating and long distant past.
