The village of Meigle may be tiny but in the world of Pictish and Scottish early-Christian art it is a giant.

The village's old schoolhouse now serves as the Meigle Museum and is packed with treasures from the 7th to 10th centuries.

Many are former gravestones, and the premier piece is a two-meter tall slab that's supposedly the gravestone of Guinevere, wife of King Arthur.

But the significance of many of the other stone is a mystery - as is the meaning of most of their elegant and intricate carved patterns and symbols. Among them are fantastical creatures, warriors and hunting scenes – while on later pieces these are joined by Christian symbolism.

That so many of these stones ended up a Meigle makes people assume that the place was of particular spiritual significance.
