This concise guide actually covers not just Pictish fortifications, but all those in use in early medieval Scotland, including those of Strathclyde and Rheged and of the Dal Riata. Konstam introduces the reader to the principal types of fort, including the re-use of earlier defences, before offering more in-depth surveys of Dundurn and Dunadd. As well as architecture and construction he looks at the use of the forts in war and peace, to control the landscape and act as royal strong points.

Angus Konstam is a highly respected historian, and the author of more than 40 Osprey books, including The Forts of Celtic Britain and British Forts in the Age of Arthur. Titles for other publishers include Sovereigns of the Seas, There was a Soldier and The World Atlas of Pirates. A former archaeologist, naval officer and museum professional, Angus has served as Curator of Weapons at the Tower of London and Chief Curator of the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in Key West, Florida. As well as being a widely published military and naval historian, Angus is also passionate about the history and archaeology of Early Historic Scotland, a fascination dating back to his days as a history and archaeology student in Aberdeen and St Andrews. He now works as a full-time author and historian, and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. www.anguskonstam.com
