Scottish
Pictish Stones
 The
Pictish Guide
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"
