Welcome to Pictavia
- a Visitor Centre which tells the story of Scotland's ancient Pictish tribes, a warrior people who roamed Angus nearly two thousand years ago. Discover their stories, battles, music, art - discover their lives.
These 1st Millennium settlers in Angus left us a mysterious legacy of carved stones, bearing their iconic images of birds, beasts, warriors and symbols, which to this day watch over the landscape all around the county. Follow the Angus Pictish Trail for a fascinating tour of these important sites. Click the links for information.
Pictavia is set in the beautiful countryside park at Brechin Castle Centre. Facilities include a
restaurant, play area and retail outlet.
