Suenos Stone - Forres, Scotland

Suenos Stone - A Scottish Pictish Standing Stone at Forres, Scotland. The largest surving standing stone of its type in Scotland. The east face (visible on this postcard) has four panels that show a large battle scene. The top panel is quite weathered and shows rows of horsemen. The second panel down depicts armed foot soldiers and the third panel shows the decapitated vanquished soldiers, the heads piled up, and soldiers, archers and horsemen surrounding what may be a broch. The base panel depicts the victorious army leaving the battlefield. One theory is that the soldiers depicted are the army of Kenneth MacAlpin. Date: circa 1910s
