Broken burial, Nethans St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire
Abstract
The old burial ground and church site lie at the foot of tall cliffs overlooking a nature reserve. There is a long history of worship at this site, which may date back to the 9th century and the Picts. The common name of the site, Ecclesgreig, is said to mean 'Church of Grig' who was a 9th century ruler of the Picts and is widely credited with establishing a church here. He is also known as Ciric, which is where St Cyrus is derived. Canmore 36352 Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
