Elgin Pillar

The Elgin Pillar is a class II Pictish stone, now situated on the north west side of Elgin Cathedral, in Elgin, Moray in Scotland. It was discovered in 1823, lying 0.6 metres (24 in) beneath the surface of the former churchyard of St Giles' Church, in Elgin High Street. It is thought to date from the 9th century, and suggests there may have been a centre of early Christian activity in the marketplace area around the church in the centre of Elgin.

Description
The stone is made of granite, and stands high. It is deep and its width tapers from at its head to at its base. File:Elgin Pillar - South face 1856.png|South face File:Elgin Pillar - North face 1856.png|North face ==References==
