Product Description

Product Description

This guide to the Picts covers all known Pictish stones. It incorporates the latest discoveries, along with a full listing of symbols and their possible meaning, a complete gazetteer, and location maps with ordnance survey grid references. The Picts were a Dark Age warrior race which ruled Scotland for 500 years. They left a legacy of carved stones, still to be found throughout the country in churchyards, museums and private collections. This book lists all known stones - some 630 examples - whether complete or fragmentary, pagan or Christian, and those lost to us now. Descriptions are given of the three classes of stone. Elizabeth Sutherland is the author of "In Search of the Picts" (1985, 1994).

5.0 out of 5 stars another superb work by Sutherland!, 31 Oct 2002
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This a wonderfully concise, yet chocked full of information books on the stone that were left by the Picts of Scotland. Lot of graphic work showing pictish symbols and knots, photographs(black & white), and maps, this gives anyone wishing to study these stone the perfect guide to their location and all information concerning that find.

Denotes the type of stone used, categorises and classifies them, lists if they are in the care of museums or on private land. In other words, she gives just what you need to know about these fascination works of art in stone left my a race that has not been explored nearly enough.
