The Picts have fascinated for centuries. They emerged c. ad 300 to
defy the might of the Roman empire only to disappear at the end of
the first millennium ad, yet they left major legacies. They laid
the foundations for the medieval Scottish kingdom and their
captivating carved stones are some of the most eye-catching yet
enigmatic monuments in Europe. Until recently the Picts have been
difficult to trace due to limited archaeological investigation and
documentary sources, but innovative new research has produced
critical new insights into the culture of a highly sophisticated
society which defied the might of the Roman Empire and forged a
powerful realm dominating much of northern Britain. This is the
first dedicated book on the Picts that covers in detail both their
archaeology and their history. It examines their kingdoms, culture,
beliefs and everyday lives from their origins to their end, not
only incorporating current thinking on the subject, but also
offering innovative perspectives that transform our understanding
of the early history of Scotland.
