A team of archaeologists have uncovered a Pictish symbol stone close to the site of what is thought to have been one of the most important battles in Scotland's history.
Researchers from the University of Aberdeen discovered the 1.7metre-long stone in a farmer’s field while investigating the areas around one of the most significant carved stone monument sites ever uncovered in Scotland.
The team were conducting geophysical surveys to try and build a greater understanding of the important Pictish landscape of Aberlemno, near Forfar.
