Excellent- More about King in the North: The Pictish Realms of Fortriu and Ce
The Pictish heartland of Fortriu was relocated to the shores of the Moray Firth, which has implications for our understanding of this period and the formation of Scotland.

Some years ago, a significant revolution occurred in the Early Medieval history of Scotland. The Pictish heartland of Fortriu, which was previously believed to be centered on Perthshire and the Tay, was relocated through the meticulous forensic work of Alex Woolf to the shores of the Moray Firth. The ramifications for our understanding of this period and the formation of Scotland are unparalleled and continue to be explored.
This is the first comprehensive account of this northern heartland of Pictavia for a broader audience to grasp the full significance of this and the substantial recent archaeological work that has been undertaken in recent years. Part of the The Northern Picts project at Aberdeen University, this book represents an innovative interdisciplinary approach to studying this still relatively little understood yet formative period in Scotland's history.
The discovery of Fortriu's new location has profound implications for our understanding of the Pictish people and their interactions with neighboring cultures. It challenges previous assumptions and sheds light on the complex political and social dynamics of the region during this period. The recent archaeological work has also provided valuable insights into the material culture, architecture, and daily life of the Pictish people.
This book represents an exciting step forward in our understanding of Scotland's early history and offers a valuable contribution to the field of historical research. It will be of interest to scholars, students, and anyone with an interest in the history and culture of Scotland.
