DESCRIPTION:
Elizabeth Sutherland is the author of "In Search of the Picts" (1985, 1994).. Descriptions are given of the three classes of stone. This guide to the Picts covers all known Pictish stones. This book lists all known stones - some 630 examples - whether complete or fragmentary, pagan or Christian, and those lost to us now. They left a legacy of carved stones, still to be found throughout the country in churchyards, museums and private collections. It incorporates the latest discoveries, along with a full listing of symbols and their possible meaning, a complete gazetteer, and location maps with ordnance survey grid references. The Picts were a Dark Age warrior race which ruled Scotland for 500 years
"another superb work by Sutherland!" according to Deborah MacGillivray. This a wonderfully concise, yet chocked full of information books on the stone that were left by the Picts of Scotland. Lot of graphic work showing pictish symbols and knots, photographs(black & white), and maps, this gives anyone wishing to study these stone the perfect guide to their location and all information concerning that find.Denotes the type of stone u. "Pictish Guide" according to Mr. Michael Lothian. A great little book jam packed with information, excellent for the back pocket and indepensible as a field gude. Would like to see more pictures/photos in the book, though it is a guide and for that purpose it certainly is good!
