The Easterton Of Roseisle Stone - a Class 1 Pictish Symbol Stone discovered at Moray in 1894. The stone probably dates to the 5th or 6th centuries, and is now part of the collections at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. 📸 My own #StandingStoneSunday #Picts

Railfreight Distribution liveried 47286 ‘Port of Liverpool’ awaits its next duty at Carlisle. Withdrawal came in 1999, and the loco was cut up in 2000 in Wigan. A sad end for the loco after 33 years service.
