Along the way, we picked up Jim and Susie Malcolm in Perth. Later, we passed through areas that have the most evidence of Pict history, especially in the carved standing stones. These Aberlemno Pictish Standing Stones graced our journey towards Aberdeen.
We heard some of the songs of the Travelers that had been collected from and sung by the Stewarts as we passed through Blair. I recalled that "O'er Yon Hill" that Dominique Dodge taught at the Ohio Scottish Arts School is recorded on the Stewarts of Blair recording.
Love the designs on the stone. Do they know if it's secular? Religious? Perhaps there was no difference between the two back then.
