    Shame you seem to have missed the Pictish crosses when you were in the area, Aberlemno had some amazing stones.

    Whilst I understand your enthusiasm for Highland cultute, try not to let your enthusiasm distort the fact that Angus is very much the remains of the Pictish heartland & therefore it has the renements of far older cultures predating those Western invaders...

    Not sure if this was referring to myself or the OP?

    I merely posted some photos of the Camus Cross as it's in the area the original poster is interested in. I live in Angus (about 12 miles or so from Aberlemno) so haven't missed out on anything. My "enthusiasm" hasn't distorted anything, I'm well aware of who the picts were, thanks both, but you're teaching your granny to suck eggs
