The upper left and bottom left rubbings show details from a Pictish cross-slab, known as 'Dupplin Cross', bearing decorative knotwork. Dating from the 9th century, it originally stood 750m SW of Dupplin Castle but was moved for reasons of conservation and is now on display in nearby St Serf's Church, Dunning. The middle left rubbing is view of the reverse of a Pictish cross-slab, known as 'St Vigeans No.21' from St Vigeans Museum, containing the head of a reined horse and a single spiral above it.
