La piedra daFowlis Wester Sculptured Stonee Fowlis Wester

This is the thing that brings travelers to the village of Fowlis Wester. In the geographical center of the village, you can see a reddish standing stone surrounded by a fence, a decent replica of the original stone, which can be found inside the church, together with another, smaller stone. Its excellent preservation is probably due to the fact that it was kept indoors, safe from erosion, wind and water. The stone has a cross on one side with religious motifs such as images of the apostles, and on the other, various figures, including a man and a cow. This type of stone cross was often found in the tombs of important people, and in this case it has been dated to the mid-600's.
