Pictavia Visitor Centre (Small Event)
Pictavia Visitor Centre, Brechin, Angus, Scotland. Pictavia, set in the beautiful countryside park at Brechin Castle Centre, tells the story of Scotland's ancient Pictish tribes, a warrior people who roamed Angus till the 9th century when they were slaughtered by The Vikings!. Facilities include a restaurant, play area and retail outlet.
In 839 the Picts faced the northern threat of the nearly invincible Vikings and suffered a disastrous defeat. The brutalising defeat at the hands of the Vikings in 839 not only killed most of the Pictish nobility, including the King of Picts and Scots Uven Mac Angus II, his brother Bran and "numberless others", but also opened Mac Alpin's claim to the vacant Pictish throne, via his mother, who was a Pictish princess.Join us on Sunday and bank holiday Monday for Living History & Skirmishes.
