Well we will cross him of the xmas card list them......there is much evidence to suggest that Columba didnt "convert" the picts...they already had 200 years of their own version of Christianity.....Columba and his successors may well have wanted to cover this up at it wasnt front page history hence the stories of "conversions" in Inverness and the nasty heretics who needed to be sorted out.

But still z and v rods..what !! no animal or plant influence..pure invention.....I have read some things which also suggest they were symbols of rank tribe marriage etc. But did they just become redundant, they certaintly are not in any of the illuminated manuscripts......shame really.
