Arbirlot carved stone is a Pictish symbol stone located approximately twenty metres south of Arbirlot Manse in Angus, Scotland. The stone bears carved symbols characteristic of Pictish art from the early medieval period, likely dating to between the sixth and eighth centuries. Such symbol stones remain among the most significant material evidence for Pictish culture and identity in eastern Scotland, though the precise meaning and function of their carved motifs continue to be subjects of scholarly interpretation. The stone's survival at Arbirlot contributes to the archaeological record of Pictish settlement and artistic expression in Angus.
