Carved in Stone: Bring the Picts to Life [online or Edinburgh] ...

11 December 2025


Starts: 18:00
Ends: 20:00

This hybrid discussion panel coordinated by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland will feature Stout Stoat’s Brian Tyrell and Archaeoplays’ Dr Heather Christie FSAScot.

Organised by Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. In person in Edinburgh or online. For details and booking information, see their website.

Carved in Stone is an illustrated guide to the Picts in late 7th century AD, serving as a source of inspiration for tabletop roleplaying games, storytellers, and anyone interested in Scotland’s past. It covers everything we know (and many things we don’t), touching on languages, kingdoms, faith, hierarchies, cuisine and more.

In this panel event, the designer and lead researcher will explore the process, break down the elaborate illustrations, and discuss how they’ve approached bringing the past to life.
