<dc:title>Easterton of Roseisle Stone</dc:title>
<dc:subject>An rare example of the Goose symbol can be seen on the Easterton Of Roseisle, Class I Pictish Symbol Stone from Moray, now housed in National Museum Scotland, Edinburgh.

Discovered in 1894 - a farmer ploughing his fields at Easterton farm, unearthed the top of a burial cist. The pictish stone formed the West side of the irregularly shaped cist.

It seems the stone had been re-used, as both sides, including the outermost side, exposed to the soil, are inscribed with pictish designs.

Outer aspect of stone, A large Crescent with notch (A bridge, or &#039;rainbow-arch&#039; to some), above a crescent and v-rod, and mirror and comb.

Reverse side - A goose, with neck arched back over body, above a salmon.

The goose is a rare form of a pictish design, likely 5-6th Century in its construction.

Nearby can be found the Sculptor&#039;s Cave and Burghead&#039;s Pictish Fort. Numerous Cists and burial cairns are found locally, at Inverugie and the hill of Tappoch.</dc:subject>
