St Vigeans Sculptured Stones Museum, Pictish stone museum in St Vigeans, Scotland.

The museum occupies two connected sandstone cottages near the church and displays 38 carved stones from early medieval Scotland.

St Vigeans functioned as a royal estate during the Early Middle Ages, featuring a monastery established in the eighth century.

The collection includes the Drosten Stone, a ninth-century slab that combines Latin script with Pictish symbols and intricate cross designs.

The museum operates from April through September, welcoming visitors Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM with final entry at 4:00 PM.

The stone carvings reveal details about Pictish daily life, including their clothing, hunting equipment, and riding gear from over 1000 years ago.
