Description: Drawing of the Pictish Stone at Trusty's Hill, Dumfries and Galloway, the only such stone in Southern Scotland. The stone depicts a double disc with Z-rod, a fish monster, and a sword. (This sword symbol is unique in Pictish art). The head with antennae is a much later addition, a nineteenth-century graffito.
