Burghead Pictish Site

Although the weather is a bit bleak today, this was a fascinating place but wow it was windy!!
















The Bullstones show carvings of bulls, known as the Burghead Bulls.

"Six striking carved slabs known as the Burghead Bulls were discovered during excavations. Four of the originals are held locally in Burghead Visitor Centre and Elgin Museum and one each in the Royal Museum, Edinburgh, and in the British Museum, London."
