Description

The Picts: A History by T. J. Clarkson and Tim Clarkson The Picts were an ancient nation who ruled much of northern and eastern Scotland during the Dark Ages, leaving behind a rich cultural heritage that has been shrouded in myth and misconception. This book pieces together the evidence to tell their story from Roman times to their eventual disappearance. Their unique identity, language, and vibrant artistic culture were lost as they were absorbed by the kingdom of the Scots in the ninth century. The few surviving traces of their existence are remarkable - standing stones adorned with intricate symbols that remain vivid memorials of a powerful and gifted people who left behind no written chronicles to tell their story. By examining the available evidence, Tim Clarkson sheds new light on this enigmatic nation, revealing the complexities of their history and culture.
