Abernethy is home to several interesting features; the pictish stone, the round tower and the Elizabeth Peattie Garden. The pictish stone and the round tower can be found in the same place just off the Main Street, while the garden is at the junction of the Main Street and the A913.

Round tower

The pictish stone is mounted on a plinth at the base of the tower. Symbols of an axe head, hammer, tuning fork and part of a z-rod can be seen very easily in the stone, though their meanings are not so easily understood.

Pictish stone

Beside the pictish stone is a set of Jougs, a wrong doer was clamped onto the collar to be possibly ridiculed or shamed by the towns folk.

The juogs

The fourth curiosity is the Nurse Peattie Garden, Elizabeth Peattie, 1936 - 1963, according to the memorial stone was a district nurse and still must be held in great esteem by the towns people even to this day.
