Scene Description: The Dupplin Cross, aka Constantine's Cross. "This cross originally stood 750m SW of Dupplin Castle but it was moved for reasons of conservation and is now on display in nearby St Serf's Church, Dunning. Dating from the 9th century, all four faces of the free-standing sandstone cross are carved in relief with depictions of beasts, warriors armed with spears and a figure playing a harp, which may represent King David. Other carvings include interlaced-work, knots and spiral patterns."
