The headline reminds me of an old Mad Magazine saying: It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.
Except Mad Magazine's made sense.
And seriously, I don't mean to offend any picts, Broughs or Deernesses.

Some time ago there was a study done on the origin of place names in the north of Britain. The purpose was to see if any trace of the Pitcish language had been left behind as they integrated with the Vikings. Apparently no trace was found in this study and the authors concluded that the Picts had been entirely wiped out and had never integrated.
