Rhynie Symbol Stones

These are three of eight incised symbol stones found around Rhynie. They are house in an open shed beside the car park below the cemetery. See NJ4926 : Rhynie Symbol Stone No 5 and NJ4926 : Rhynie Symbol Stone No 6 for cloe-ups of two of the stones. The carving on the middle one was too worn and the photograph was indistinct.

Rhynie Symbol Stone No 5

The description of this stone at Link

is a bit confusing. It shows two different stones under the same heading. This one is definitely pink granite, and I can make out a 'crescent and V-rod' and 'mirror' symbols. This is the one on the left in NJ4926 : Rhynie Symbol Stones.

Anne Burgess

Rhynie Symbol Stone No 6

The description of this stone at Link

is a bit confusing. It shows two different stones under the same heading. This one is definitely grey whinstone, and I can make out a 'dog's head, 'double disc and z-rod' and 'mirror' symbols. It is supposed to have a 'comb' but if it is there it is very indistinct. This is the one on the right in NJ4926 : Rhynie Symbol Stones.
