The National Museums of Scotland are launching a new project to shed light on the so-called Dark Ages to educate people about the surprisingly sophisticated cultures of the Picts, Gaels, and Norse.

Much more than just fierce warriors, these ancient tribal cultures built the foundation of what would later become the country of Scotland.
