Review

Picts is an extraordinary work that covers seven centuries of Pictish history and archaeology, but is also engagingly written with the general reader in mind'-- "Current Archaology"

"Noble and Evans have written a book to read and cherish."-- "The Scotsman"

this intriguing study by two Aberdonian academics will help to dispel the myth that Pictland was merely rough and unsophisticated'-- "Country Life"

A comprehensive and beautifully illustrated volume'-- "West Highland Free Press"

Both archaeologically and historically rich and provides an entirely new synthesis and viewpoint on a critical era of Scotland's history'-- "Deeside Piper and Herald"

This is an irresistible glimpse into their [the Picts'] shadowy world'-- "Little Brown Book Group"

An impressive book that brings together between its covers pretty much all that is currently known about its elusive and enigmatic subject'-- "Undiscovered Scotland"
