The magnificent Kildalton Cross in the south-easterrn corner of Islay: Scotland's finest intact early Christian high cross. Beautifully preserved and standing 2.65m high by 1.32m wide, it was carved towards the end of the 700s. More pics and images: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/i…
The Kildalton Cross. The image shows part of a ruined church on the left of the frame and a graveyard occupying much of the lower part of the frame with trees behind it. There are only a few scattered graves while, in the centre foreground and occupying the whole central strip of the frame is a large greenish-grey decorated stone cross with arcs connecting its arms to the upper and lower parts. The scene is in sunlight.

The oldest design in the Scottish Register of Tartans is the “Shepherd” or “Falkirk” tartan. Technically more of a check, this design was found in a scrap of material stuffed into the neck of a jar containing Roman coins, buried about 260 A.D.

The intriguing village of Temple, the main base of the Knights Templar in Scotland until the order was dissolved following the arrest of many of its members by King Philip IV of France on Friday 13 October 1307, 719 years ago today. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/t…
Temple. The image shows a view down a shadowed hillside covered in gravestones to a ruined church seen end on in the middle left of the frame. To its right is a collection of stone houses in the bottom of a valley and there are trees on the far side of the valley. Except for the foreground, the scene is in sunlight.

Kelso Abbey is a ruined Scottish abbey of monks in Kelso, Scotland. It was founded in the 12th century by a community of Tironensian monks first brought to Scotland in the reign of Alexander I 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏰

Kenneth MacAlpin (Medieval Gaelic: Cináed mac Ailpín) is traditionally regarded as the first King of Scotland. Ruling from around 843 AD until his death in 858 CE, he famously united the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata with the kingdom of the Picts. This historic merger laid the structural foundation for the Kingdom of Alba, which eventually evolved into modern Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👑⚔️

Fionn’s Rock aka Praying Hands of Mary, Glen Lyon. This takes your mind back into Scotland’s Celtic heritage and folklore as it is said the rock was split by an arrow fired by Fionn Mac Cumhaill i.e., the legendary Scottish warrior Fingal. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙⛰️💚

The latest thinking on these is that they are made by Rome for native allies north of the frontier.

The discovery of a massive early medieval silver chain was reported by The Orcadian #OTD in 1863. Labourers found it while digging at Parkhill, Aberdeenshire. Of a type unique to Scotland, its clasp bears symbols inlaid with red enamel. 📸National Museums Scotland

As the World Cup approaches, I decided today to make a sort of pilgrimage visit to the world’s oldest football. Found above Mary Queen of Scots bedroom in Stirling castle, the ball is thought to date to the 1540s. In fact, the young queen Mary may even have kicked it herself!

The World's Tallest and Longest hedge is the Meikleour beech hedge in Perthshire. It is one third of a mile long and 98ft high. It was planted in 1745 and local legend says the hedge grows towards the heavens, because the men who planted it were killed at the Battle of Culloden.
