    NEWSLETTER 39 SUMMER 2006 Strathmartine fragments Castle of Fiddes cross-slab – return to Angus an old discovery re-discovered In 1969, the Ordnance Survey noted that ‘part of the head of a Celtic cross-slab … found … amongst rubble, after renovations to farm outbuildings at Castle of Fiddes … in 1964 … is preserved inside the castle.’ Up until now, this was the only record of the stone that existed. By March 2005, having almost completed the Commission’s measured survey of all the early medieval sculpture of Aberdeenshire (including the former county of Kincardineshire), the Castle of Fiddes cross-slab was amongst the last few Strathmartine 8 (© Angus Council, Cultural Services) to record. However, the stone hadn’t been recorded since the above O.S. report was made After an absence of many years two of the ‘lost’ and was no longer at the Castle. After a bit of stones from Strathmartine have returned to detective work, I tracked down the stone’s finder, Angus having been tracked down to a location who filled me in on its current location – Devon. near Jedburgh and subsequently donated to He kindly agreed to negotiate access with the Angus Council by Mr C Hall.

    St Fergus St Fergus was a companion of the great master St Drostán, along with St Colm and St Medan. He was active both in the area of Buchan (near to Drostán's foundation at Deer) and in the province of the Pictish tribe of the Ce (now known as Caithness). He is said to have been a Pict by birth and is sometimes known as St Fergus the Pict. His foundations are not numerous but they are important. Indeed, parts of the land near the coastline are still named after him, including St Fergus' Moss and the village of St Fergus itself with its little church, near Kirkton Head, which was founded by the great man himself. Many of today's oil-workers have links with the terminal at St Fergus but how many, I wonder, know of the ancient link with Drostán's friend. The churches at Inverugy and Banff may have been his foundations also. St Fergus was patron saint of Wick. His church there is believed to have stood in pre-Reformation times near the east end of the town, at a place called Mount Halie. A stone image of him existed in the burgh till 1613, but was then destroyed by the Rev Dr Richard Merchiston of Bower, who was noted for his zeal in abolishing "Popish" survivals. It is said that the local people were so enraged at the iconoclasm of the minister that they drowned him in the river of Wick as he was on his way home! The report went abroad that St Fergus himself did the drowning, and was seen astride of the minister holding him down in the water! A local fair held on the 24th November was from ancient times known as Fergusmas.
