The Picts were a mysterious group of people who emerged in northern Scotland some time during the early Middle Ages and were probably completely assimilated into the Gaelic culture of the south of Scotland by the 10th century AD. While their own artwork seems to depict people with books, we have no surviving written records from the Picts whatsoever. Almost everything about their culture is up for debate: where they came from, what sort of language they spoke, whether they really covered their bodies in tattoos like the Romans said they did. Researchers have been able to glean a few shreds of information about Pictish culture from the scant comments written by their contemporaries and from place names that are thought to be Pictish in origin. However, our richest source about their lives comes in the form of the hundreds of monumental stone carvings they left behind.
