 This is shown by the unusual dedication, and especially by the collection of more than thirty elaborately carved stones preserved in the St Vigeans Sculptured Stones Museum (converted from an old cottage) in the village (Historic Scotland; key from Arbroath Abbey visitor centre).The collection includes cross-slabs, some with Pictish symbols, cross fragments, recumbents, and architectural fragments.It is one of the largest and finest in Scotland of its period, and includes stonework dating from the 8th-12th centuries.
