The Picts

A History

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The Picts inhabited a large part of northern and eastern Scotland and first appeared in the historical record at the end of the third century; around 600 years later, they seemed to mysteriously vanish from history. Tim Clarkson traces their story, from Caledonian predecessors to the victories of the Vikings in the tenth century. First published in 2008, the book now ends with a postscript on recent archaeological findings that have shed more light on Pictish society.
