Tarbat Discovery Centre
The intriguing Tarbat Discovery Centre has some excellent carved Pictish stones. The exhibition includes the church’s spooky crypt. When ‘crop circles’ appeared in aerial photos a few years ago, the foundations of an Iron Age settlement were discovered around the village church; ongoing investigation revealed a Pictish monastery and evidence of production of illuminated manuscripts.
Ask the staff to pinpoint other Pictish sites in the region on a map for you.
