Three hundred and fifty mysterious monuments scattered across Scotland have puzzled scholars for over a millennium. Carved with intricate symbols that form no known language, these stones are the most visible legacy of a civilization that historians struggle to explain. The Picts built one of early medieval Britain's most formidable kingdoms, commanding territories from Orkney to the Scottish Lowlands, repelling the Roman Empire's advance northward, and maintaining independence for centuries. Then, sometime around the year 900, references to them simply stop appearing in historical records.

This documentary explores one of British history's most perplexing mysteries: the rise of a powerful kingdom that left magnificent artwork and massive fortifications, yet vanished from the historical record without evidence of military defeat or mass migration. Through analysis of archaeological discoveries, medieval chronicles, genetic research, and those enigmatic symbol stones, we trace the trajectory of a people whose very name was given to them by outsiders—and whose own language has been almost entirely lost to time.
