Wonder at the mysterious carvings on a pair of Pictish stones, one featuring a rare ogham inscription . The Dyce symbol stones are on display in an enclosure at the ruined kirk of St Fergus in Dyce. The older of the two, probably dating from about AD 600, is a granite symbol stone depicting a swimming beast above a cluster of symbols. The later of the two, probably from some time after AD 700, is a cross-slab. It shows a cross bold l y filled with interlace carvings, surrounded by four symbols. The cross-slab contains an inscription in ogham, a script which seems to have been introduced to the Picts by Irish missionaries in about AD 600. Its meaning is a mystery. Opening times.

In the early 1950s the author saw the Knocknagael Boar Stone, then a few miles from his home in Inverness – the beginning of the life-long “intrigue” of Symbol Stones. Work enabled much travel around Pictland then holidays in Moray have provided a great base for looking at even more Stones – where they stand and in museums. Frequent visits to museums in Edinburgh and London to research Scottish and Middle Eastern history and religions resulted in several ideas falling into place. A background in engineering encouraged logical analysis and in management encouraged synthesis – helping to make the connections between the Symbols on the Stones and the Mysteries of Mithras. The author’s career in UK then global telecoms was paralleled by professional activities such as chairman of Council of the Institution of Incorporated Engineers in the 1980s, membership of the Council of the Engineering Council in the 1990s, chairman of Council of the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) from 2006 to 2008 and membership of many committees. The author, an Invernessian living in Kent, is currently a Fellowship and Professional Registration Assessor for the IET. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering & Technology and a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute. His research and this discovery are, however, as an “independent scholar”. Family members have played a large part in this pursuit. Of special mention are my father (Jim) who maybe knew more about the Stones than he let on and who encouraged family and roots investigations, my sister (Melody) as listener and initial proof reader, my elder daughter (Tara) who has asked searching questions, my younger daughter (Melody) who seems taken by the symbols and what they might mean (walking with some every day as tattoos) and my wife (Annie) who has supported me over many years of research and disappearing to the study!
