A new study on the origins of the Picts concludes that their origins were not "exotic" but local.
Genome analyses of individuals excavated from Pictish-era cemeteries at Lundin Links (Fife) and Balintore (Easter Ross) suggest that the Picts originated in the British Isles and that they may not have been matrilineal after all.

I woke up this morning, which was nice, to a thick mist but through it, snow on the hills so ..... pics to follow but, I've noticed a few of these in this area, crying to be perched on so, I'll be collecting them up and posting soon.

I was hoping for moody weather and high tide when we went to visit the Mermaid of the North in , Easter Ross, so I could take some dramatic photos. Alas, we got neither and I only got some boring photos of it. We actually got sunshine and blue skies for most of the trip even though it was already October. The weather gods must've been really proud of themselves.
