Take your Pict

Archaeologists have recreated images of a figure on a Pictish stone which was discovered during the construction of a road in 2017. During ground clearance work close to Perth’s McDiarmid Park, a nearly two metres-high monolith was found, depicting a male figure carrying a spear. Though the outline of the man could be seen, the carving was faint in places, so archaeologists from the University of Aberdeen have created 3D images. www.abdn.ac.uk
