The Picts were a sophisticated and powerful people who dominated
much of what is now Scotland for hundreds of years, before uniting
with the Gaels to form the nation of Alba (later Scotland). Their
language has all but disappeared, but their cultural heritage
survives, above all in the form of hundreds of incised and carved
stones, many marked with their distinctive symbols. Pictish symbols
have provoked much curiosity and prompted many interpretations,
some more fanciful than others. They are still the subject of
debate among experts. This extensively illustrated book explores
all the available information on the Picts in an appealing,
accessible and authoritative way. It also includes full guides to
the important collections of Pictish carved stones at St Vigeans in
Angus and Meigle in Perth & Kinross.
