A Wee Guide to the Picts

by Duncan Jones

The Picts ruled much of Scotland in the Middle Ages and had a strong and distinct culture- yet little survives of this warlike and artistic people. This Wee Guide describes what is known about the history of the Picts, and discusses the enigma of their symbol stones. A gazetteer of Pictish sites lists the best symbol stones and museums to visit, and the text is enhanced by many illustrations and maps.

Very small guide to the history of the Picts, that very mysterious mediëval people, living in what now is Scotland.

A good reference book for information about the Picts of early Scotland.

A great little guide to the Picts. It was published in Scotland but I got it from a vendor at a Highland Games in Michigan. A great intro and handy for locating "stanes" if in Scotland.

A very useful pocket-sized handbook of Pictish stones.
