The Picts were an ancient nation who ruled most of northern and eastern Scotland during the Dark Ages. Despite their historicalimportance, they remain shrouded in myth and misconception. Absorbed by the kingdom of the Scots in the ninth century, they lost their unique identity, their language and their vibrant artistic culture. Amongst their few surviving traces are standing stones decorated with incredible skill and covered with enigmatic symbols - vivid memorials of a powerful and gifted people who bequeathed no chronicles to tell their story, no sagas to describe the deed of their kings and heroes. In this book Tim Clarkson pieces together the evidence to tell the story of this mysterious people from their emergence in Roman times to their eventual disappearance.

Slim but full of interest
Considering how difficult it must have been to uncover the history of the Picts (they left no trace of a written language) the book manages to convey the tale with a fascinating mix of facts and reasonable conjecture. It is both informative and interesting, in particular providing details of the relationships with other tribes and kingdoms in early Britain that both sustained the Picts and led to their eventual assimilation by the Scots. There is also a final chapter covering additional information resulting from recent archeological work. Well worth the money, and highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
