Origins of Pictish Symbolism is a book written by James Carnegie, the Earl of Southesk, in 1893. The book explores the origins of the symbols used by the Picts, a group of people who lived in what is now Scotland during the 3rd to 8th centuries AD. The author delves into the meaning behind these symbols, including the famous Sun Boar symbol, and offers a new interpretation of the inscriptions found at Newton, which had previously been a source of confusion for scholars. The book is a comprehensive study of Pictish symbolism and provides valuable insight into the culture and beliefs of this ancient people. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish history, archaeology, or the study of ancient cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
