Visit the stones

Hundreds of Pictish carved stones have been discovered. There are concentrations in the east and north-east of Scotland, but others are dispersed around the country. Some stones are held in museums; others can still be seen in or near their original positions.

This section explains where the stones are and how they can be visited.
