Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum, Scotland

The Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum is a permanent exhibition of 27 carved Pictish stones in the centre of the village of Meigle. Meigle Museum has an impressive collection of Pictish carved sculpture, including cross slabs, recumbent gravestones, a hogback stone and rare architectural fragments. These demonstrate both the artistic vigour of Pictish society and the skill of its stone carvers. The Picts were a confederation of tribes who lived in eastern Scotland until around 850.

The museum occupies the old village school house. The collection of stones implies that an important church or monastery was located nearby. Many of the carved stones, dating from the 9th or 10th centuries may have been gravemarkers for members of the warrior élite. Some of them are portrayed on the stones with their weapons, or engaged in their favourite pastime of hunting.
