St Fillan's Gravestones
A closer look at the collected symbolic stones on the access path at St Fillan's in Aberdour. The stone on the left shows the trade symbol of the Hammersmiths and the heavy tools of a blacksmith. The central stone shows a winged soul looking down on symbols of man's mortality. The right-hand stone shows the tools of a gardener.
