This is an ultra-low-volume ping list (typically weeks to months between pings, for matters related to Highland bagpipes and Scotland).
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this list.

I ain’t gonna argue with the guys,but why can’t they just be like a frieze depicting a hunting or battle scene that can be viewed and understood by everyone regardless of nationality.
Those drawing on the caves in France showing the guys hunting and doing various things, was not a secret language,they could not write but they could draw...

The enigma of the symbol stones If there is one item that has come to typify the Picts in Scotland, it must surely be the numerous ornately carved symbol stones they left. No-one really knows with any degree of certainty why these enigmatic stones were erected or the significance of the symbols carved on them. But as with all things Pictish there are theories aplenty. Some scholars exclaim they were territorial markers, others that the stones commemorated great people or events. It has also been suggested that symbols may denote the rank of an individual within the community, perhaps recorded marriage treaties or were a means of representing personal Pictish names.
