Dupplin Cross Tour
Monday, January 28, 2008
Today, I am presenting an image of the Dupplin Cross which is located in St Serf's Church, Dunning.
The church dates to the 13th century but there is a suggestion of a much earlier church on the site.
The Cross once stood in an open field near to nearby Forteviot (itself once the ancient capital of Scotland) and is an incredibly well preserved condition considering its exposure to the elements for over 1000 years.
The Cross dates from the 9th century and is heavily ornamented. It is believed that the main figure represented to be that of King Constantine, a Pictish king ( c 789-820 AD).
St Serf's Church is now a museum in which the Dupplin Cross is located.
