St Vigeans Stones and Museum
Saint Vigeans, Arbroath DD11 4RB Scotland
This site is closed for now. It is hard to believe that this sleepy Angus village of St Vigeans was once the centre of a royal estate and of huge religious importance, bustling with prayerful pilgrims and monks. This was more than 1,000 years ago, so visitors could be forgiven for missing the evidence that is scattered around and in the walls of the late medieval church perched on a striking 40ft mound in front of them. The most important indications of the village’s powerful past can be found in two adjoining sandstone cottages along its only street. Within their walls in Historic Scotland’s museum are housed 38 carved stones, which had once stood up on the old church mound to broadcast early messages of the true Christian faith.The newly refurbished museum gives overdue recognition to the significance of the carvings.
