Kilmorie Stone

This early-medieval greywacke cross-slab combines Christian and pagan iconography, reflecting Galloway's diverse past and its connections to Viking and Celtic Scandinavia. Located today in the churchyard of the Parish Church in Kirkcolm village, it has been moved several times in the past with its earliest location known as Kilmorie, south of Kirkcolm. The front face of the stone shows an ornate hammer-headed cross above a design of intertwined animal figures. The back of the stone depicts a simple representation of Crucifixion, beneath which sits a figure, flanked by two birds and a pair of smith's tongs. The carvings are believed to show the triumph of Christianity over paganism.
