What is special about it is that she has written on the back to her parents. I did try to scan the writing but it was unsuccessful. When I returned the others to Ruby I asked for that one to send to you.

The Picts, that race without a written history, settled the land and built their stonetombs, hill-forts, and brochs throughout their territory. Intermarriage with invading Norsemen and Celts eventually made up the...
