Description: Groam House Museum is 15 miles north east of Inverness in the Black Isle seaside village of Rosemarkie. It is an outstanding Pictish Centre for Ross and Cromarty. The unique display is focussed on 15 carved Pictish stones. All the stones originated in Rosemarkie, some dating back to the 8th century AD, when it was an important centre of early Christianity. The pride of the collection is the magnificent Rosemarkie cross-slab, decorated with enigmatic Pictish symbols. The museum is closed from 6 December 2009 and re-opens in Spring 2010.
