Inverurie - Brandsbutt Stone

The Brandsbutt Stone is a Pictish symbol stone, which had been broken up and used in building a dry stone wall before 1866. The stone, now reassembled, bears two incised Pictish symbols, a crescent and v-rod and a serpent and z-rod, and an inscription in Ogham, an early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the early Irish language.

The carvings of the Brandsbutt Stone are dated to around AD 600.
