Customer Reviews

An excellent overview of this fascinating topic

This book is astoundingly interesting, attempting to tell the story of a people long ago vanished. The historical and archeological information is well grounded and the book is an exciting read. This hard to find gem is definitely worth a look.

Still the starting point for Pictish studies

Although written in the 50's, this book still remains one of the cornerstones of Pictish studies. Divided into several parts (by several authors) which address language, customs, etc., the book explores the pre-Scottish people of Scotland known to history as Picts. Although several issues have been clarified in subsequent years, the basic problems raised by the editor as to origin, language and cultural ethnicity of the Picts remain unanswered to this day. A must read for Pictophiles!
