Portmahomack - Monastery of the Picts

Just finished reading this great book by Professor Martin Carver, all about the 10 years of archaeological study at Portmahomack. A quote from the preface seems appropriate.

"Readers whose interests have been aroused are urged to visit Portmahomack itself at the earliest opportunity. There they will find not only a village of considerable charm in a Firthland setting, but also, within St Colman's church, the captivating museum of the Tarbat Discovery Centre."

The book covers the history of Portmahomack from the 3rd century all the way up to the 20th century.
