The Picts

Description

For hundreds of years, The Picts were a sophisticated and powerful society dominating much of what is now Scotland. Their language has disappeared, but their cultural legacy survives, above all in the form of hundreds of incised and carved stones, many marked with their distinctive symbols. These have provoked much curiosity and prompted many interpretations, some more fanciful than others.

This book explores all the available information to tell the story of the Picts in an appealing, accessible and authoritative way.
