<br/><br/> The Picts were an ancient nation who ruled most of northern and eastern Scotland during the Dark Ages.  Despite their importance in Scottish history they remain shrouded in an aura of myth and misconception.  In the ninth century they merged with the Gaelic-speaking Scots and lost their unique identity, their language and their vibrant artistic culture.  The Pictish nation seemingly vanished, leaving few traces but many unanswered questions.  Here the various fragments of Pictish society and history are drawn together to tell the story of this enigmatic people from their emergence in Roman times to their eventual disappearance.
