Rhynie Symbol Stones is a collection of three Pictish carved stones located approximately sixty metres south-east of Manse in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The stones date to the Early Medieval period, likely between the sixth and eighth centuries, and represent important examples of Pictish symbol art from north-east Scotland. The carved symbols on these monuments, typical of the Pictish tradition, include abstract and zoomorphic designs that reflect the distinctive artistic and cultural identity of the Pictish peoples. These stones contribute significantly to our understanding of Pictish settlement, religious practice, and artistic expression in the region during the Early Medieval period.
