On Saturday the 13th of April, the Scottish Society for Northern Studies are organising a one-day conference on sculptured stone in Meigle: Early Medieval Meigle.

The programme includes the following papers:

• Mark Hall (Perth Museum): ‘The Meigle Stones: A Biographical Overview’
• Nick Evans (University of Edinburgh): ‘Meigle in its Pictish and Viking Historical Context’
• Peter Drummond (University of Glasgow): ‘Medieval Meigle: The Place-Name Evidence’ (drawing on research by Simon Taylor)

Anna Ritchie (Independent Scholar) will lead a visit to Meigle Museum, the Kirkyard and Sculptured Stones

This is taking place in the weekend after our workshop in Chester, so perfect timing for more carved and sculptured stone scholarship.
