Picts

The Picts were an ancient people who lived in what is now Scotland from around the 3rd to the 9th centuries AD. They are known for their mysterious culture, characterized by unique stone carvings, sculptures, and intricate painted designs. The Picts were skilled warriors and farmers, and their society was organized into tribes or clans. They played a significant role in resisting Roman expansion in Britain. Over time, they merged with neighboring Celtic peoples, contributing to the formation of Scottish identity, but much about their language and customs remains unclear, as they left no written records.
