Sightseeing Saturday: St Vigeans was likely an important Pictish religious centre, judging by the number and quality of the Pictish Christian carvings found on the 38 stones found in this small village.
The carved stones were dotted in and around the village church, which sits on a natural mound where a Pictish church or monastery may have once stood. Some stones were even incorporated into the walls of the late medieval church – and a few remain in place. St Vigeans Museum holds one of the most important collections of Pictish Christian stones, including the Drosten Stone, which carries a remarkable inscription and includes a hooded hunter and a squatting imp.
The museum is open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday from 1 April to 30 September. Find out more at https://visitangus.com/things-to-see-do/attractions/st-vigeans-stones-museum/.
