Edderton Cross Slab, Pictish cross slab in Edderton, Scotland.

The red sandstone monument stands 2.3 meters tall in the old graveyard, featuring detailed carvings of Celtic crosses and horsemen on both sides.

The stone dates from the 8th or 9th century AD and was first documented in 1830 by James Skene in the Edderton churchyard records.

The monument displays a combination of Celtic and Latin cross styles, along with depictions of armed horsemen representing early medieval Scottish artistic traditions.

Located 25 meters south-southwest of Edderton Free Church, the cross slab stands within a protected circular area of 2 meters diameter.

The stone contains three riders carved in different techniques: one in relief within an arch and two incised figures below, revealed after raising the monument.
