< The Vikings and Picts were farmers (all place names prefixed with Pit in
 Scotland are remnants of the old P celtic language of the Picts and refers
to
 good brown loamy soil). ON Bolstadr (sorry I don't know how to make my
 keyboard do the accents etc) was farm stead. >

What did the Picts farm? I am talking of the Picts who were already in
Scotland when the Celts from Ireland landed in Argyll.  I thought they
farmed nothing.
