ITS PEOPLE & ITS church: 



By Archibald B. Scott, B.D. An Original and Important 

 Contribution to the History of the Nation and the Church. 



Quarto, 567 pages, 25s. net. 



This work deals wit/i the life, civilization, language, and literary remains of 

 the Picts from the withdrawal of the Roman Garrison in the 4th century to the 

 establishment of the dynasty of the Caidheals or Scots in the sovereignty of Pict- 

 land in the qth and loth centuries. 



For the first time the history of the Pictish Church, the most illustrious branch 

 of the Celtic Church, is traced from the Celts of the Continent through SS. Alartin 

 and Ninian. Its continuous development is followed until it became absorbed by 

 the Scotic Church. The Pictish Church-centres and schools at Candida Casa, 

 Bangor, Culross, Glasgow, St Andrews, and other great centres are located and 

 described. 



Mr Scott makes further application of his discovery that Venerable Bedels 

 references to Scotland must be interpreted by the geography of his own time, 

 which was Ptolemaic, involving the peculiar error as to the position of Scotland 

 with respect to England, thus vindicating the late Dr Macbain and other Celtic 

 scholars. 



The heritage beqiuathed to Christendom by the Pictish Church, and the in- 

 vincible missionary spirit of Pictish ministers ivho spread the truth northwards 

 to Iceland, and southwards as far as the .-ipennines are acknowledged.
