How did the Picts view the night sky? What did they believe in? In this episode I interview Professor Gordon Noble and we talk about the special Pictish quartz pebbles that have been discovered as well as Groam House Museum Trustees Paul and Richard about early Christianity and the infamous Rosemarkie Man. I also interview night sky photographer Andre Hudson and Scottish folk belief expert Scott Richardson Read.
Andre has a number of boooks out with his photography Scotland at Night and Scott's recent book Mill Dust and Dreaming Bread is out now. Be sure and check their work out!
