Title: More Picts
Post by: Anton on April 08, 2018, 12:07:24 PM
I thought this note interesting for those of us who like to know who was doing what in early medieval Scotland.  It suggests a resurgence of Pictish power that I found persuasive.

Shame there are no illustrations.  Had there been it would be very useful Pictorial history...

Their history is well depicted in the text though. In fact, thinking about it, I don't really see a reason for having pict a bone with the article at all...
