The Picts, the native inhabitants of northern Scotland, along with their allies and later adversaries, the Scots, were a constant irritation to the Romans. This book draws on recent archaeological evidence to offer a picture of the two peoples, tracing their development from raids on Roman Britain to the formation of Dark Age kingdoms that produced a unique artistic inheritance exemplified by the remarkable Pictish symbol stones.  Illustrated throughout with colour and b&w photographs, drawings, and maps.  Hardback.  172 pages.  In near new condition.  Cat No 4623
