Pre-Celtic inhabitants of the Blessed Isles, the Picts are either descendants of the Beaker People or descendants of the Stone Age inhabitants of the land. They continue to enjoy their prehistoric ways and are tattooed savages of the natural, wild world. They are more savage than orcs. They...

Archaeologists from the University of Aberdeen have recently discovered a Pictish fort on the summit of Dunnicaer, a 'sea stack' near Dunnottar Castle. Dunnicaer lies approximately 1 mile south of the town of Stonehaven but is isolated from the mainland at high tide. A number of stone fragments inscribed with Pictish symbols were found there…

Sally Foster's book Picts, Gaels and Scots will already be familiar to many of you. It's an essential resource for anyone who has a keen interest in early medieval Scotland. I have a copy of the first edition (1996) but merely borrowed rather than bought the second (2004). I've now got the third edition, published…
This blog is about the people who were called the Picts that occupied Northern Scotland in the dark ages.

A while back I had the fortune to travel around Scotland with some good friends, and tick a few more sites and projects of the bucket list. Scotland is by far the Celtic nation with the strongest visual identity. Tartan, men in skirts, bagpipes, long swords, blue face paint (thank you Braveheart), and last but not lea
They have been dismissed as savages who resisted the march of civilisation. But the remains of a monastery found in the north of Scotland suggest the Picts have been wronged

“The strange and the sublime, the gorgeous and the deadly” are equally intertwined in American Picts, a novel by Jack Dancer. Tucker Blue is back for another adventure, and this one starts with a bang (or rather three bangs). Arriving at Little Alpine on his motorbike, Tucker shows up just in time for hell to break loose around him and takes off with an unwanted passenger to escape the mayhem. That passenger is Penelope, a punk-rock-looking reverend whom Tucker falls for. To make matters more interesting, Penelope is also a distant cousin. It turns out that just about all the folks in this isolated Blue Ridge Mountain community are related and are struggling against a corporate mining entity run by a megalomaniac. With the sides drawn, Tucker and company will clash with a man who would play God without first knowing how to be a good human being. American Picts by Jack Dancer is not your usual novel; it is a chess match of the insane. The story revolves around an isolated community descended from the Picts, a group of people mistreated by everyone from Rome to modern-day corporate America. Strong themes of unbridled ambition colliding with a true sense of family and community are present and give the novel a sharper edge. However, where this tale is beyond outstanding is the characters and pace. From Bubba, who is anything but what he appears to be, to Penelope, Tucker, and others, there is no shortage of loony and eccentric individuals. And as for the pace, it is clear that Jack Dancer is a slightly less violent (but wackier) Tarantino, and while it is possible Jack may be batshit crazy himself, he is quickly becoming one of my favorite contemporary authors. Reading his work makes me smile.
