Slab of yellow sandstone with an incised bull on upper part, from East Lomond Hill, Fife
One of the most interesting - and still not fully understood - legacies of the Picts are their symbol stones, carved with a variety of naturalistic and abstract designs. This naturalistic bull may represent a clan emblem, or perhaps a fertility symbol.
