Just over a thousand years ago the Picts, an early Celtic people, disappeared as a distinctive nation, but they left behind, as a silent witness to their existence, a remarkable series of sculptured stones that is without parallel in Europe. The art of the Picts, Scots, Gaels, Norse, as well as other ancient civilisations, is represented here in images found mainly, but not only, in Scotland:
  • Rock Art of the Scottish Neolithic period (3000 - 2000 BC) from around Kilmartin, Argyll, featuring cup and ring marks and spirals carved in stone.
  • The art of the Picts, who occupied most of Scotland in the early medieval period, leaving behind an exquisite collection of stone-carved abstract and naturalistic designs. The simpler images date mainly from the 7th century AD, while the more complex ones, using Christian imagery, and merging influences from Irish and Northumbrian art to produce the magnificent cross-slabs, date from the 8th and 9th centuries.
  • Images from the High crosses from Ireland and the amazing illuminated gospel manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells.
  • Viking art ranging from pre-Christian in Gotland, in the Baltic, to 10th and 11th century images from Scotland and the Isle of Man which merge Christian and Pagan
