Scotland's carved Pictish stones in colour


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Archaeologists have been uncovering ornately decorated Pictish stones across northern Scotland for many years.

For many, the sculptures' mysterious carvings of animals and symbols are impressive as they are.

But some scholars suggest their ancient creators may also have painted the stones, bringing out in vivid colours their carved salmon, ravens, wolves, boars and even a battle scene.
