In my first book, The Pictorial Adventure, Percy took Kiska to see her first Pictish artifacts in the National History Museum of Scotland.  It is a massive museum with breathtaking exhibits.  There are so many galleries that it took me two days to explore the place.  But, I have to say the Early People gallery was one of my favorites.  Seeing the Pictish stones and jewelry brings it to life.  It is just hard to imagine that these things were created more than a thousand years ago.   

It is also fascinating how the jewelry was exhibited in such interesting displays
