Friday`s Fascinating Fact: Restenneth Priory near Forfar is a beautiful location with a fascinating history.
The masonry at the base of the tower dates from the 1100s, but there`s a strong possibility that this was where Nechtan King of the Picts built his first stone church in the 8th century.
King Alexander I saw something in Restenneth, and chose to move the sacred annals of Iona here to keep them safe from encroaching Scandinavians.
Robert the Bruce also picked this spot to bury his infant child John in 1327, the twin brother of King David II.
