Wester Denoon is a small settlement in Angus, Scotland.[1] Approximately one mile to the north of Wester Denoon is the village of Eassie, where the Eassie Stone is displayed in a ruined church; this carved Pictish stone is dated prior to the Early Middle Ages.[2] Other nearby settlements are Charleston, Balkeerie and Kirkinch. Two fragments of small Pictish cross-slabs have also been found at Wester Denoon itself (preserved in the Meffan Institute, Forfar). One shows the stylised figure of a woman wearing a long dress or mantle fastened on the breast by a large brooch.
