Fortingall Cross
Fortingall, Scotland
This small cross design was found in the ancient village of Fortingall. It is
very reminiscent of French design. Fortingall is shrouded in ancient history,
stones, and great trees. It is probably most famous for its Yew tree, said to be
the oldest tree in Europe. All around Fortingall are other ancient reminders of
the past - standing stones, stone circles, a recumbent stone circle, a
cup-marked stone, an earth mound, a long cairn - all from Neolithic times before
2000 BC. "Spiritual beginnings cannot be doubted anywhere in these parts. Even
the trees remember.
