Hogback stones in Govan Old Parish Church. Dating from the era of the Vikings more than 1,000 years ago, they're thought to have served as grave markers. They are unique to the Viking areas of northern Britain and the Govan Hogbacks are the largest known examples. They are now part of the collection of early Christian-Viking relics known as the Govan Stones.
