The Picts were a tribal confederation of peoples who lived in what is today eastern and northern Scotland during the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval periods. They are thought to have been ethnolinguistically Celtic. Where they lived and what their culture was like can be inferred from the geographical distribution of brochs, Brittonic place name elements, and Pictish stones. Picts are attested to in written records from before the Roman conquest of Britain to the 10th century, when they are thought to have merged with the Gaels. They lived to the north of the rivers Forth and Clyde, and spoke the now-extinct Pictish language, which is thought to have been related to the Brittonic language spoken by the Britons who lived to the south of them.
Picts are assumed to have been the descendants of the Caledonii and other tribes that were mentioned by Roman historians or on the world map of Ptolemy. Pictland, also called Pictavia by some sources, gradually merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata to form the Kingdom of Alba (Scotland). Alba then expanded, absorbing the Brittonic kingdom of Strathclyde and Bernician Lothian, and by the 11th century the Pictish identity had been subsumed into the "Scots" amalgamation of peoples.
Picts: History and Heritage provides an overview of some of the key developments in the evolution of the Pictish kingdom between the 5th and 9th centuries. Using recent studies on the political centralisation of Pictland and its external relations with neighbouring kingdoms, the film traces some of the key developments in the history of Fortiu until the Gaelic takeover at the end of the 9th century. The film emphasises the cultural and religious interaction between Pictland and the kingdom of Northumbria which provided the context for cultural masterpieces like the class 2 Pictish symbol stones and the Northumbrian illuminated Gospel books. Filming at Bennachie, Tap o Noth, Burghead, the Rhynie dig and other locations provides a striking visual record of some of the key locations in...

A BBC Scotland documentary about the Roman Empire and Scotland
I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
This film describes the changing and competing interpretations of the Pictish symbol stones. Using film of visits to some of the most important symbol stones in the north and east of Scotland including those at Dyce, Bennachie and Aberlemno, the film analyses attempts to explain the meaning of the enigmatic symbols including the Crescent and V Rod, Double disc and Z Rod and the Pictish Beast. The film ends by posing the question:are we getting closer to unlocking the symbol code?
The origins of the Picts are shrouded in the mists of time. What we do known is that they were first referred to as Picts by the Roman writer Eumenius in AD 297, and that the Pictish nation lasted until around AD 843 when Kenneth Mac Alpin, a Scot, became king of a united Scotland through deception, treachery and force.
The introduction to the film "The Picts". Who were the Picts and why is this not taught in schools? Steve Sweeney and Steve Ducane from www.motherperth.com do Pictish history.
Symbolism was like the written word to the Picts, we can learn much from the many symbols they left us.
