Product Description

Product Description

A fully updated and expanded edition of a classic text on early Scottish history. From the 5th to the 10th century, Scotland was home to a variety of diverse peoples and cultures, all competing for land and supremacy. At the heart of the mystery of how Scotland became a single unified country lies the extraordinary influence of the Picts and their neighbours, the Gaels, originally immigrants from Ireland. Sally Foster uses the latest archaeological discoveries and interpretations as well as developments in historical, art-historical and place-name studies to explain how the Picts and Gaels became Scots and forged a nation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pictophile Paradise!, 6 May 2001
By A Customer
Exellent!. This book gives an intellectually satisfying explanation of the process by which the foundations of Alba were laid. In particular,the way in which the name of the 'Dal Riata' is assigned to the Gaels instead of the more usual 'Scots'is,I feel,a major step forward in helping us understand this vital period of Scotland's history,-by liberating us from the linguistic/translation fog!. Well done.
