Pictish people
The Pictish people were a group who lived in what is now Scotland during the Late Iron Age and Early Medieval periods (roughly 300 to 800 AD). Known for their distinctive carved stones and symbols, they formed a complex society with their own language, culture, and social structure. They played a significant role in early Scottish history, but much about their origins, language, and decline remains uncertain. Pictish art and artifacts provide valuable insights into their beliefs and practices, and they are considered an important part of the heritage of the British Isles.
