| Celtic Cross of Duplin |
|---|
 | |
The Duplin Cross, an important Celtic relic currently in the Museum of Scotland, will soon be moving to its new permanent home in Dunning. Forteviot, an elite capital of later kings of Fortriu, seems to have centred on a glorious palace - palisaded, but not as formidable as neighbouring Dundurn, (AU 683) - with feasting hall, royal church of decorated stone, and Christian burial ground.
The Duplin cross, in particular, may demonstrate the importance of Fortriu as supreme kingdom. Its inscription celebrates Constantine, among the last of the Pictish kings. Custatin filius Forcus’ (Urgust) ruled Pictland from Fortriu in 789, assumed kingship of DalRiata by 811, and retired to monastic St. Andrews (Cillrighmont) where he died, 820.
Forteviot had prestige and precedent. Pictish capital at the height of its power, it ministered to an orderly nation accustomed to hierarchy based on allegiance developed over a millennium. No wonder to the Scots who subsequently ruled there - at least for a time - it was the ultimate prize.
