The Picts were a mysterious people who lived in what is now Scotland north of the Firth of Forth during the early medieval period. First appearing in Roman records in the 3rd century AD, they left behind striking carved stones, fortified settlements, and a legacy that has fascinated historians for centuries. Though much about them remains uncertain, the Picts played a central role in shaping the story of early Scotland.
