The Dupplin Cross is a carved, monumental Pictish stone, which dates from around 820. It was found on a hillside in Strathearn, near Forteviot and Dunning. In 2002 it was placed in the care of Historic Scotland, and has been by St Serf's church in Dunning since that time.
The Dupplin Cross is a high cross that is a free-standing, stone cross. While relatively common in Ireland, Northumbria and in Dál Riata, such crosses are not known earlier in the lands of the Picts (ancient people of Scotland).
The cross is carved from Old Red Sandstone, the cross stands about 2.5 meters tall, 1 meter broad over the arms of the cross. It is carved with various scenes, religious, martial and traditional Pictish animal carvings. The cross contains a partially legible inscription, of which only the name CUSTANTIN FILIUS FIRCUS can be read. This name is taken as the Latin form of the early 9th century Pictish king Caustantín son of Fergus (fl. 793–820).
