When the Romans came north to what is now modern Scotland they
encountered the fierce and proud warrior society known as the
Picts, who despite their lack of discipline and arms, managed to
prevent the undefeated Roman Army from conquering the northern part
of Britain, just as they later repulsed the Angles and the Vikings.
A New History of the Picts is an accessible true history of the
Picts, who are so often misunderstood. New historical analysis,
recently discovered evidence and an innovative Scottish perspective
will expose long held assumptions about the native people. This
controversial text contests that Scottish history has long since
been dominated and distorted by misleading perspectives. A New
History of the Picts discredits the idea that the Picts were a
strange historical anomaly and shows them to be the descendants of
the original inhabitants of the land, living in a series of loose
tribal confederations gradually brought together by external forces
to create one of the earliest states in Europe: a people, who after
repulsing all invaders, merged with their cousins, the Scots of
Argyll, to create modern Scotland. All of Scotland descends from
the fierce Picts.
