Welcome
The Pictish Arts Society runs a lecture programme, contributed to by leading authorities in the field, and held mainly at Pictavia, a purpose built heritage centre near Brechin, Angus.The society publishes a quarterly newsletter and an occasional journal of papers, all part of the membership benefits.
Founded in 1988, the PAS holds two annual conferences, one on/near Dunnichen Day, 20th May, which commemorates the Picts' decisive victory at the Battle of Dunnichen in 685AD, and another in the autumn, together with a field trip in the surrounding area.
The conference venue moves around Scotland to accommodate a growing number of new members, and to focus on the latest research into, and discoveries about, early medieval Scotland.
It is the purpose of the PAS to raise public awareness of the Pictish stones, and to encourage various arts inspired by the symbols and designs depicted on them.
Membership is open to one and all from across the globe for anyone who has an interest in the Pictish stones and arts.
