Scotland is an amazing crossroads of cultures: Celtic, Nordic, Roman -- and Pictish. Very little is known about the Picts, but we DO have artifacts and some records of their existence. Some of the most compelling artifacts are at the Tarbat Discovery Center, in Easter Ross.

Tarbat is a little-known peninsula at the extreme eastern end of Ross and Cromarty; it's off the NC500, so many people pass by without ever exploring it. But it's an area rich in history, including amazing places like Portmahomack. In this episode we visit the Tarbat Discovery Center, the Hilton of Cadboll Stone (carved by Barry Grove), and the Tarbat Ness Lighthouse. We also go into more of Annabelle's backstory; she's a remarkable cat who's survived a hell of a lot of abuse.

You owe it to yourself to explore areas in Scotland, especially up here in the northern Highlands, which are off the beaten path. It's worth it.
