Europa,
Thanks for digging up all these reference to the ‘Picts’ still, quite romantically, it  seems ‘pict’uring them as being a race apart. 

They we not.  Indeed they have never been proved otherwise.  It is just a Romanised name for a people they could not dominate. Tests your sources!

Perhaps any serious interest would be better served investigating the DNA pool these people belonged to.  That pool is hardly any different to the Celts, Anglo/Saxons or the Norwegians.  However, it may be noted that the ‘small Mediterranean types’ were exactly that.  Scotland became home  to many seafarers and settlers since 10000BP.  More lately in 2000BP - the Romans and North Africans (Carthaginians) Spanish and so on - all from the Mediterranean  rim.  These are people who stayed on.  That is the nature of immigration.  For example last century, after the WWII, many of the thousands of Italian POW’s,  kept captive in Scotland, choose to remain where they were rather than go home.  As Mac Donald is very common in Scotland so now is Valerio. Italo-Scots, Scots-Italians or Scottish-Italian has a proud heritage, one that Scotland has benefited over the years.  And of course Italo-Scots were here long before the 1940’s.  This is the same many other races, from all over the world, that proudly inhabit my land.

A ‘Pict’ may be turning in his/her grave that mere mention of them beckons them to be any different from those survivors dating back to 11500BP.  Those days till now are hardly different.

I do hope that your quest is not some silly race purity pursuit that so many in the US engage with.  Just like your forum picture depicting  you to be some idealised  blonde blue eyed goddess called ‘Europa’.

Yes, this is a bit of a telling off, a polite one.  Look beyond Goggle or what ever easy source came your way to fit in with your own idea of the cosmos.

John.
