But sadly deficient on useful images or uniform colours

Yes, those are the ones we want most.  I wonder if anyone has produced a map of all Pictish stones located so far.  When looking at Ogham stones I was surprised to see one on the north side shore or thereabouts of the Forth of Firth.  Very intriguing.

Interesting it was at Aberlemno, already associated with Pictish stones.  Maybe the settlement site they are investigating may prove to be an important centre.

Thanks Dave, that's just the job.

surprising how many have been found

It's good to see the spread on a map bearing in mind these were not fly by night constructions.

I was having a poke about in things Pictish and came across Katherine Forsyth's 1997 demolition of the old idea that Picts spoke a non Indo-European language.  It was full of interesting observations that I thought I'd share here.  It now seems to have disappeared from view so I cannot. 

However Guto Rhys below is an interesting read for anyone interested in the Picts.
