The Aberlemno 3, class II Pictish symbol stone, also called the Great Stone.
A hunting scene and the double disc Pictish symbol is visible on the opposite face which is not visible from the roadside. Three trumpeters are also visible.
The meaning of these symbols commonly carved by the Picts is unknown. Strangely the missionaries or scribes from the Celtic church did not record the meaning of the symbols in their texts. This was even more strange as Celtic christian crosses were engraved on one side of the class II symbol stones or cross slabs.
