Pict refers to an ancient group of people who lived in what is now Scotland during the late Iron Age and early Medieval period. They are known for their unique culture, which included intricate stone carvings and symbols, often referred to as Pictish symbols. These symbols are found on standing stones and other artifacts, and their meanings remain largely a mystery. The Picts were skilled warriors and are believed to have been a confederation of tribes. They played a significant role in the history of Britain, particularly during the conflicts with the Romans and later with the Anglo-Saxons. Their society was complex, with evidence of farming, trade, and craftsmanship.
