Painted Skin

It is said that the Picts got their name from the Romans, who called them Picti, which is Latin for ‘painted people’. This is thought to refer to the tales of the Picts painting and tattooing their bodies.

Housing

Pictish buildings would appear to have varied depending on regional location and building material available. Evidence of Pictish housing finds them to be of a reasonable size, round or oval shaped with no windows and a central hearth. Access to these buildings would be through a low and narrow doorway.
