Ep 78 - All About the Picts with Pictavia Leather

Nordic Mythology Podcast

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Hamish Findlay of Pictavia Leather to discuss the history of the Picts in Scotland. Pictish history spans 900 years and has numerous historical intersections with both the Romans and the Vikings. Together with the boys Hamish will be digging into all the weird theories of how the Picts came to be and what eventually became of them; as well as trying to disabuse the harmful stereotype of the blue painted savage. Will we get through all of that in just over an hour? Well, it's complicated...

If you would like to learn more about the Picts, or see Hamish in one of his numerous television appearances you can find both at: www.pictavialeather.co.uk
