Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish music, of the famous Battle Scene Pictish Stone in the Churchyard on history visit and trip Aberlemno, Angus in the East of the country, Britain, United Kingdom. Angus, Scottish Gaelic: Aonghas, borders Aberdeenshire, Dundee City and Perth and Kinross. Battle scene between an army of men with long hair and an army of men wearing helmets. Of all the early historic peoples of Scotland, the Picts capture the popular imagination like no other. Although archaeology is gradually uncovering more information about how they lived, they are still best known for their carved monuments, which offer remarkable testimony to their artistic skills. The symbol stones of the Picts are among the most fascinating and enigmatic groups of early medieval sculpture. The purpose and meaning of the stones and carvings still remain something of a mystery, theories range from their use as personal memorials and testaments of clan membership to records of ancient ceremonies and rituals. The area that now comprises Angus has been occupied since at least the Neolithic period. Bronze Age archaeology is to be found in abundance in the area. The county is traditionally associated with the Pictish territory of Circin, which is thought to have encompassed Angus and the Mearns. Bordering it were the kingdoms of Cé or Mar and Buchan to the North, Fotla or Atholl to the West, and Fib or Fife to the South. The most visible remnants of the Pictish age are the numerous sculptured stones that can be found throughout Angus. Of particular note are the collections found at Aberlemno, St Vigeans, Kirriemuir and Monifieth. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome
