The ancient kingdom of Pictland is often referred to as just that: a unified kingdom of the Picts. However, as the mysteries of the Picts continue to reveal themselves, it appears as though Pictland was actually comprised of 7 different but connected Pictish kingdoms, who shared many linguistic and cultural characteristics.
The Pictish kingdoms of ancient Scotland were: Fib, in modern Fife, Cait to the, in northern Caithness and Sutherland, Cé, on the east coast around Aberdeenshire, Circin, in the Angus region, Fidach, around the Inverness region, and Fotla, around the Perth and Kinross region. The 7th Pictish kingdom was Fortriu, which is thought to have been situated around Moray in the north-east of ancient Scotland. Fortriu however is often used interchangeably with Pictland, perhaps suggesting that it was one of the most powerful kingdoms.
Exactly when these kingdoms arose and for how long they survived is largely unknown. The first reference to Fortriu however came from a Roman writer in the 4th century AD, who referred to them as the Verturiones. It is thought that Verturione came from the Brittonic root vertebra, indicating that Fortress People is how they were referred too. In Old England, Anglo-Saxon records refer to these Pictish people as Wærteras.
In the Pictish Chronicle, a loose historical account of Pictish Kings, the seven Pictish kingdoms were said to have been founded by the seven sons of the Cruithne. The Cruithne or Cruthin refers to a people of early medieval Ireland who occupied a territory centered around Ulster. This has led some to argue that the Picts of ancient Scotland and the Cruthin of ancient Ireland was connected in some way, although this is debated. We do know that Cruithne was an Irish name for the Picts.
In a religious book written between 697 and 700 AD, called the Life of Columba, the author records how the Columba baptised a man called Artbranan, who was described as the "chief commander of the warband of the region of Cé." There are still references to the Cé in Scotland today. The Bennachie mountain range in Aberdeenshire for instance means the “Mountain of the People of Cé.”
In Irish sources, the seven Pictish kingdoms were said to have been ruled by hereditary chiefs or kings. It has been documented from various sources that the Picts most likely traced the hereditary line of kingship through the female line.
In the early 6th century, the seven kingdoms are said to have merged into two larger kingdoms, the southern and the northern Picts.

Great information!
Thank you Tommy
CE was the most powerful largest groups. The strongholds at Tap o noth and Duncairn prove this as does the battle of Mons Grapius at Bennachie. Previously it was thought to be Fortriu. MacBeth the last real Pictish king died at Lumphanan in the heart of Aberdeenshire.
Hi can you comment on who and why the term picannini’s and it’s association with the Picts, because it has been said that as a slur children were called this by people who attack scotia @@celtichistorydecoded also
Could you also bring some clarification as to the Ethiopian who was said to have had skin like the Ethiopians of today . She was said to have come from khemet and scotia was named after her .
I'm a cloninger. My ancestors were picts.
Tha e coltach gun robh na Cruithnich na mheasgachadh de dhaoine Gàidhlig is Brythonic, neo Ceiltich Brythonic a rinn imrich gu tuath fada mus tàinig na Ròmanaich. Chan eil annta seo ach tuairmsean.
"It seems that the Pictish were a mixture of Gaelic and Brythonic people, or Brythonic Celts who migrated north long before the Romans came. These are only guesses."
Pictish people must be Central Asia Turkic origin. The true name must be BEKT. It is a very ancient Turkic religion = bektas ( maybe 6000 years old) similar to RUMI ( Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi). Pictish Cross shows the four wisdom of Bekts to pass in order to reach perfectness ( humans at Gods level) . The islamic version of ancient Bekt religon was adapted to Ottoman Empire where the unbeaten Ottoman Empire Army was all BEKTASI....Another Proto Turkish signature at Picts is their region called Forthee or Forthur...or Firth. The Proto Turks gave this name to sailable rivers. For example Ephratus in Turkish called FIRAT. The Pictish symbols are also similar to proto Turkish for ecample Trikelion means Turk... It is the symbol of Orion Star system and the mother of the trinity idea. The blue color is actually the TURQUASE color. Which is a Turkish Sacred color. It is the symbol of First sunlight color of the sky. And means I am ready to sacrifice myself for the Sky God. Greetings from the Turanian Institute of Hatti, Antioche, Hatay , Turkiye
