                <text>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.&#13;
&#13;
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.&#13;
&#13;
It seems the stone had been re-used, as both sides, including the outermost side, exposed to the soil, are inscribed with pictish designs.&#13;
&#13;
Outer aspect of stone, A large Crescent with notch (A bridge, or 'rainbow-arch' to some), above a crescent and v-rod, and mirror and comb.&#13;
&#13;
Reverse side - A goose, with neck arched back over body, above a salmon.&#13;
&#13;
The goose is a rare form of a pictish design, likely 5-6th Century in its construction.&#13;
&#13;
Nearby can be found the Sculptor's Cave and Burghead's Pictish Fort. Numerous Cists and burial cairns are found locally, at Inverugie and the hill of Tappoch.</text>
