St Serf's Church and Dupplin Cross gallery
See where the 6th-century St Serf supposedly slew a dragon. With some parts of the church as old as 800 years, its layout shows how the Reformation of 1560 shaped worship.
The Dupplin Cross – a superb Pictish carving of the early 9th century – was re-erected here for its better preservation in 2002. You can learn of the close links between the kingdoms of the Picts, Scots and Northumbria from the decoration of the cross.
You can also admire the Romanesque architecture of the church, with its rare survivals of the medieval stone-carver’s art.
