Skin and hair color are actually the least important traits in determining what "racial" grouping one belongs to. In terms of Anthropometry alone, the Picts (Brythonic types) are actually much purer Caucasians than many of the blond (but snub-nosed) population of the British Isles. If one has seen (mutant) African albinos of the sub-Saharan regions, it would be noticed that despite their 'albino' skin and hair, they still retain their stereotypical African facial structures (e.g. broad, heavy jaw, broad, flat/snub nose, etc.). However, these traits are seen in many Europeans as well. For example, Steve Bannon would be very African-looking, if he was even slightly sun-tanned. By contrast, a Pictish-Brythonic type is usually dolichocephalic (long-headed and thin-faced) and leptorrhine (i.e. with thin, prominent nose) and thus very Caucasian-looking despite how "dark"/brunet they are. So a large percentage of Europeans (blond or not) would look like "albino Africans" when standing next to a thin-faced, pointy-nosed Pict/Briton.

Not completely true. The romans built the wall to keep the tribes in the north of what is now England, from getting out and travelling north to get Pictish support against the romans.

I’ll just explain it for people hoping to get an answer. In about the 9th century AD, after being terrorized by Vikings from all sides, the Picts (in the east) and Scots (in the west) who had been exchanging culture and kings for centuries, formed the Kingdom of Alba which later turned into Scotland after it incorporated the Britons of Strathclyde and the Angles of Lothian as well. There we go. Not that hard, is it?

Pictish King Bridei III and Northumbrian King Ecgfrith who met in battle in 685 were cousins, sharing Edwin of Northumbria as a grandfather. Edwin was supposedly fostered by King Cadfan ap Iago in Wales as a child, and later spent time in exile in East Anglia under the protection of King Rædwald (probably the man buried at Sutton Hoo) as Æthelfrith, then King of Northumbria, wanted him dead as a potential rival claimant to the throne. When Anglia and Northumbria went to war, Rædwald won, installed Edwin as King, and Æthelfrith's sons went into exile in the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata, and in Pictland. This one quick delve into history shows how the various Brittonic, Anglo-Saxon, Gaelic & Pictish kingdoms were closely connected, not strangers to one another. The Picts didn't disappear from Scotland any more than the Mercians disappeared from what became England, they were just absorbed into a larger whole.

This is why Scottish history is a must read for Anglo saxons and celts alike. I'm English and love English history but Scottish history is fascinating. Mysterious.... Stooped in legend... Heroism.... Sad and bad moments And moments of glory and unexpected invention. What happened to the IX legion? What happened to the picts? The massacre of the families that invited them into their homes and let them sleep in their own beds, an occurrence so sad and outrages that it shocked even the worst of the english and Welsh. So many excellent and exciting battles occurred in Scotland between Scots, the english, the Welsh. So many loose ends. So much mystery. The cannibal family (you know the one I mean) The novelty of Scottish royalty and the system of the clan of the Highlands. A place for people to run and attempt to escape. A place for people to run to and ending up dying from hypothermia. Or visit one of their lovely pubs and get glassed in the face by a begbie lookalike. Some of the scot to scot, scot to Welsh battles were great.

In 685 A.D. the Picts also won a decisive victory over the Northumbrians at Dunnichen, near Letham in Angus. This halted the expansion of the Saxons.

Although they were integrated into the Kingdom the County of Moray, Banff and Western Aberdeenshire still held a separate identity up until the 13th Century, being referred to as rebellious Moravian's (Moravian being the old term for - man of Moray) and the northern counties were considered lawless, rebellious and treacherous in general way into the 1400's, with other heights during the 15 and 1600's showing the land was still pretty chaotic. (One of the reasons there are so many Norman and Flemish descended family in the North-East, is that the early Scots Kings invited them to come and try pacify the lands.) Also, the Picts never referred to themselves as Picts, they were not a unified people and were just generically the people of North-East Scotland, no one knows how they referred to themselves because they didn't write much till later periods. (look at traditional accounts of the Battle of Standard between Scotland and England circa 1130. It clearly refers to different ethnic groups within Scotland, Scots, Galwegians, Moravians, men of Lothian even noticeably separated from the other groups too. Essentially the people in different geographical regions of Scotland have kinda been divided in the same way as today. Just today they don't war with each other, speak mostly the same language and have similar cultures in general. Simply put it, Picts just became sheep-shaggers up in the North-East.)

Our own family’s DNA shows a clear connection to the PICTS. So it has NOT disappeared!

Two of the biggest tribes were the Caledonians and the Lacaedemonians, The first said they came from Thracia (ancient Greece) and the Laceademonians were of course from Sparta. That is the real name of Sparta. Sparta was a town in Lacademonia and still is. It is a district of Greece today. Pictones meant "the tattooed ones" to Romans. They did not call themselves "Pictones' or Picts I believe. Fyfe and that region in the East was settled by the Trojans much earlier.

@@gimmethepinkelephant3685 honestly there isn't very many 100% true blood Native Americans anymore in America. They have interbred with so many Americans over the past 300 400 years that currently there is only a very small percent that are full blooded Indian. It's crazy how fast that it happens. In the future we all will end up being one race, I truly believe this. It would take thousands and thousands of years but I believe it's really possible for that to happen.

We may not know why the Picts vanished, but we do no when. In 843, Kenneth mac Alpin, King of the Scotts, became king of the Picts, probably through matrilineal inheritance, and, apparently with out any particular fuss, the Picts and their language vanished without a trace.

I think you said it early on. They got tired of the cold weather and moved south.

The Picts were lucky, the Roman Emperor was so frustrated with the resistance of them, that he ordered his son to conduct genocide. The Emperor then suddenly died, and his son took over the Empire. He refused to obey his dead father's order, worked out a symbolic peace treaty with the tribal leaders and pulled his soldiers out of Pict territory. Shortly thereafter, the treaty was ignored and things returned to normal

The Picts mixed with the Scotti and are in the blood of many Scots today. The YDNA haplogroup R1b-L1335, which is a distant branch (son of) of the most prolific haplogroup in Ireland and Scotland R1b-L21, is said to be a Pictish haplogroup, and I think about 10%-15% of Scottish men today are a branch of this haplogroup.
