		Ancient Scotland: The Spanish Celtic Connection ^Votes:0 Spain and Scotland: The Ancient Connections Galicia Scotland A Dolmen in Galicia, Spain The ancient connections between northern Britain and Celtic Spain are strong and supported by many myths and legends. The dolmens, standing stones and the trail of " cup and ring " designs carved on stones by the prehistoric people of Iberia make their way from Spain and Portugal and northern France to Ireland and Scotland and represent the earliest evidence of the movement of prehistoric man from Iberia to the northern islands. Cup and Rings Markings Furthermore, the ancients also named the various tribes of northern Britain years before the Romans set foot on Britain and one of the most famous of all were the "Brigantes."

		Highland Gems - Picish Trail ^Votes:0 The Pictish Trail, Easter Ross Ross and Cromarty is renowned for its varied landscapes - hills and lochs, rocky shores and small villages. Every area has its own character and the Seaboard Villages are no exception. They are locally famous for their sandy beaches, harbours and the Picts. The Picts? Come and explore this quiet and distinct part of the country and you'll be surprised at what you find. The Pictish Trail can be explored in a day or during a series of visits and there is no preferred route. Each site has an information board, providing further details on the Picts and their superb 8th century sculptures in stone. Who were the Picts?

		Pictish Nation ? ^Votes:0 Pictish Nation Welcome to the world's first web site dedicated to the Picts! On the web since 1994! In here I want to make some things available to potential Pictophiles and all others who come to visit. First of all, I want to create the world's first page dedicated to that ancient race (known as the Picts) whom once inhabited present day Scotland. I will try to link all Pictish pages on the web here. If you know of one I've missed, please email me with its URL and I will add it. Furthermore, for really serious Pictophiles, I recommend joining the Pictish Arts Society , which is truly the world's finest organization dedicated to preserving and expanding interest in Pictish culture. As such I enthusiastically recommend you join them! To read some books about the Picts visit the link at the Read More Go to Site

		Picts ^Votes:0 The Picts Information on the Picts, the "barbarians" who so often ravaged the Britons from the north, is somewhat scarce. The only text left to us by the Picts is their king-list, which gives the names and the lengths of the reigns of 60 or more Pictish kings. The list ends with Causantin mac Cinaeda, who died in 876. Thereafter, this record of the Picts was no longer used. The only other written source from around the Arthurian era is Adomnan's Life of Columba . Archaeological evidence for their lifestyles is also scarce. The domain of the Picts was what we consider today to be Scotland. The terms "Picts" and "Pictland" were used in speaking of the inhabitants and the area up until 900, when the country began to be called "Alba." The Picts had a warrior society, "and warlords needed stron Read More Go to Site

Article by Lorraine MacDonald mailto: lorraine.macdonald@dalriada.co.uk The Picts Background - Early Scotland The question of the Picts should be approached as an integral part of the heritage of Scotland (and Celtic Britain and Europe as a whole) rather than as some isolated oddity.
