St Orland's Stone, Pictish cross slab in Glamis, Scotland.
Standing 2.4 meters tall, this sandstone cross slab displays intricate carvings on both sides, including Celtic knotwork and Pictish symbols.
The stone dates back over twelve centuries and remains in its original location, where archaeological investigations revealed five cist burials in 2009.
The carvings merge Christian and pagan elements, featuring a ringed Celtic cross on one side and Pictish symbols like crescents and V-rods on the other.
The monument stands on private land accessible through a track, requiring visitors to follow specific walking directions and navigate through agricultural fields.
This cross slab contains the only known representation of a Pictish boat in early medieval Scottish sculpture, showing five figures with long hair.
