The Elgin Pillar is a class II Pictish stone, now situated on the north west side of Elgin Cathedral, in Elgin, Moray.[1] It was discovered in 1823, lying 0.6m beneath the surface of the former churchyard of St Giles' Church, in Elgin High Street.[1] It is thought to date from the 9th century,[2] and suggests there may have been a centre of Early Christian activity in the marketplace area around the church in the centre of Elgin.[3]
