Sign Up Aberdeenshire Council is in discussions with members of the Rhynie community over proposals to return a vital piece of Pictish history that was removed from the village in 1978. Rhynie Man, a 6ft-high carving of a fearsome fellow carrying an axe, was ploughed up from Barflat Farm and dates back to the 6th or 7th centuries. It currently resides at Aberdeenshire Council’s headquarters at Woodhill House, but the authority is considering returning it to Rhynie.

A historic Pictish stone could be set to return to the north-east village it was discovered in more than four decades ago. The Rhynie Man is a six-foot-high Pictish standing stone with a stunning axe-wielding figure carved into it. The archeological find was discovered at Barflat farm in Rhynie in 1978, but now sits in Aberdeenshire Council’s Woodhill House headquarters. Fergus Mutch, the SNP’s MSP candidate in Aberdeenshire West, has written to Aberdeenshire Council calling for the stone to be returned home to the village.
