Stunning St Vigeans Pictish stone placed as fitting tribute to community hero Ralph Coutts
Protect this place always.
A simple script, carved into a stunning Pictish stone and capturing the message of the modern-day environmental warrior in whose honour it has been erected.
The sudden death of Ralph Coutts in May 2020 at the age of just 53 shocked the Angus area, included many who worked alongside the popular figure on community and conservation projects.
The features on the stone.
Those included litter sweeps of the Brothock Burn from the north side of Arbroath to where it meets the sea, and the relentless fight against the blight of fly-tipping.
