Children’s book portrays Picts as black
The Picts have been depicted as black in a new book intended to show that Scotland has always been “multicultural and diverse”.
An illustrated book has been created to make the history of the Picts, who flourished from around 300 AD to 900 AD, more accessible to young people.
Illustrations in the volume depict the early inhabitants of north-east Scotland as multiracial, with black monks, bishops, religious healers and ordinary villagers.
Whoever engages in such antics should be horse whipped.
