The Picts: Mysterious 'Painted People' of Scotland Who Were Almost Erased From History

"An academic institution where scholars have studied and taught early medieval art, sculpture, and metalwork; it served as the place where a researcher first encountered Pictish picture stones and became devoted to their study. Faculty-led research and courses here have supported excavations and broader efforts to analyze and interpret Pictish artifacts and history." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
