Also known as ‘the secret language of poets', or ‘Tree alphabet', Ogham ( pronounced 'owam') was used in Scotland , Ireland , England and Wales , from about the 4th to the 7th century AD.

Each letter is named after a tree, or plant. Written onto a solid line that represents the trunk, each letter represents a branch. Ogham was usually written vertically from bottom to top in inscriptions, and horizontally in manuscripts.

About 500 inscriptions have been found on standing stones in the U.K., although it would more commonly have been used inscribed on wood, and there are 3 examples left in Argyll. These include markings on the top of Dunadd where Kings were crowned and jewellers worked.
