Brechin Attractions

The best of the four Pictish stones of Aberlemno (HS; 6mi/9.6km northeast of Forfar) stands in the graveyard and dates from the eighth century. As well as a Celtic cross, battle scenes and several animal symbols can be identified. Of the roadside stones in the village, the biggest shows a Celtic cross flanked by angels as well as hunting scenes, a double discus and a half-moon.

A walled garden is to be found at this 13th century fortress, Brechin Castle. A fair portion of the yews, borders and paths have been preserved.
