Why is Kiska so short?



     People ask me all the time why I made Kiska so short?  The answer is simple, because the Picts really were short!  This is a replica of a real Pictish throne carved to scale.  It is located in the Pictavia Visitor's Center in Brechin Scotland.  Pictavia presents an educational experience that covers the history and the life of the Picts.  Although there are many things we don't know about the Picts we do know they were very small in comparison to people today.  I wanted Kiska to represent what people in that time might have looked like and believe it or not they were much shorter!
