Top 10

There are photos of a bit more than 1000 runic inscriptions on this site, so if you don't know where to look, you can easily miss the most interesting ones. First of all : did you look at the page where I show you how to read the runes ? That could be a good introduction for you. When you've browsed through it - come straight back here ! If we'd talk about rock music, there are always the eternal hits, which everyone would agree on are classics. Then you'll always have your personal favourites, right ? Well, it's a bit like that here : some rune stones must be on this list, while others are here because I chose them to be, or simply because I haven't seen some of the must-be's....
