The Picardy Stone

This is The Picardy Stone, a Pictish symbol stone near Insch, Aberdeenshire which now stands in its own wee protective enclosure which gets in the way of taking a photo, but keeps farm animals away. There are 3 symbols carved on the stone and from top to bottom these are 1. double disc & z-rod 2. snake & z-rod and 3. mirror. If you can't make them out in this shot have a look on this Aberdeenshire Council website for a sketch and some background info.
