Lindores
 

Abdie Church

Tucked away down a narrow country road, on the western shores of Lindores Loch is the old parish church of Lindores.

The Lindores Pictish Stone and two other headstones can be found on display under the old mort house.

The pictish stone was originally on Kiam Hill, near Lindores, it was then built into a garden wall before finally coming to rest in the Old Mort Mouse. The stone has a cauldron symbol on the top and a crescent and v-rod beneath. Cut into the stone are roman numerals for a sundial and an Ordinance Survey Surveyors bench mark symbol.

A mirror sysmbol is cut into one of the sides.

Also in the same place are two curious grave stones. One is a large carved stone with a cross which is surmounted by a floral design and the other is reminiscent of a mediaeval lady.
