Picts and Pictish language: an article by Cyril Babaev (3340 words)
When Celts came to the British Isles in the 7th and 6th centuries BC, Picts already inhabited the lands north to modern Edinburgh, and when Romans invaded Britain in the 1st century BC and came to Scotland in the next one, they were still there occupying just the same lands.
Picts came to Britain in the beginning of the 1st millennium BC; Celts began their expansion through Europe only in the 8th century BC (Halstatt culture) and their migration to the Isles started only in the 7th century.
Picts were described everywhere as a people painted all over; their face, their hands and bodies were covered with paintings or tattoos, and that's what was so terrible to Roman soldiers who came to Scotland.
