The Scotti invaded from Ireland and stole the Picts country. Renaming it Scotland.
thank you for sharing this doc. as i was getting more and more upset with gordon’s greed, i REALLY appreciated your message at the end. we need to learn from the mistakes of thise that come before us. for real.
I so want to go to visit that spot where the Picts lived.
Thanks for the interesting history of the ancients of Scotland ( as we call it now). My theory is that it’s to do with the astrological symbols that relate to certain periods/ happenings in their history and that are very symbolic to the local culture in their particular era. Just thinking that so many cultures across the world have similar symbolism in their art/carvings/pictograms which may be a bit of a hint! Thanks again. It’s good to get a clear and interesting explanation about the carved stones in my native country.
Best I've watched in ages
Would the dead be placed upon the recumbent stone to see the setting sun of their final day prior to a night time cremation?
I have precious little knowledge, but can't help thinking of the many options for these signs. I'm thinking the double disk is this world and the next, the z rod indicating how the deceased died/the journey between the worlds broken up. I also feel the mirror is not a mirror, not gender biased and maybe a see through piece glass. The comb could be a symbol in itself of sorting out/raking through - so many options! Isn't it odd how your instinct can play tricks on you? Fascinating stuff either which way.
This is the best video on the Clearances that I have seen. The history and outcomes effected so many families. However, the true wealth of the Scottish people is their love of family, the land they worked, and their country’s struggle to survive with the spirit of their ancestors. Thanks for sharing.

The Pictish peoples Signs and carvings are all over Scotland you just have to know how to look...
How does one dna test for Pictish lineage? I ve watched the game of thrones and learned about the chains across the harbors. It sparked my light research into the Viking stones and the Dunnard castle king foot stone as well as the seven brothers fish wolf boar ….symbols. Very curious about historical movements of cultures.
So Pitlochry is also a Pictish name; what does it mean?
I enjoyed that. I'm a Buchan loon fae Buchan folk

Thank you, from Trinidad & Tobago. Very Informative.
@@greenpenncil thanks for the comment. My father’s family are from Trinidad. Unfortunately I have never been there!
An elephant or mammoth carved on a stone might indicate that the site might be thousands of years older than than many people would’ve imagined.
THE PICTS ARE OUR ANCESTORS ALL OVER THE SCOTLAND & THE UK
Yup nothings changed. Still getting shafted right up the khyber 😂
Could have been to do with the bronze age collapse in the Mediterranean. There's research from the period suggesting a massive catastrophe. Maybe they were looking for something from the heavens returning 😮
I've become rather obsessed with the Pictish history as fairly recent genetic evidence points to a possible "Pict" male relocating to the present day Scottish lowlands and becoming the progenitor of the Armstrongs, of which I am one! Never forget the past and always honor your ancestors!
I've always been suspicious about Roman claims of victory at Mons Graupius. For example, they claim that the Caledonian chariots got stuck in the mud but a number of things about this set alarm bells ringing in my head. For example, wheeled vehicles were not common in Scotland even as late as the 18th century. The Scottish actually used a sort of sled, much to the annoyance of General Wade's engineers, as it tore up the road they were trying to build. Why would a people that live on and know the land use wheeled vehicles in battle when they know perfectly well that they wouldn't work? I feel it's quite likely that the Mons Graupine battle was a fabrication made to make Rome look good and in actuality they got bogged down in protracted campaigns against people that they fundamentally misunderstood and could not therefore control and that they likely were worn down by an attricious war without any real pitched battles.of the type they liked to fight.
Wesrminster stripped/stripping Scotland of its investment and funneling it down to the bottom of England while the population down there flourish and come up to Scotland to buy second homes and force the native population of Scotland
@harrisonboone2248 "....please do not try to pass on history to younger generations unless you educate yourself first." What exactly are you teaching the younger generations sir, with your high-handed ignorant tone. I do not know you, or, Kevin, but, you certainly forget your manners and the art of debate. In my opinion, you come across as "very puffed up". The old saying, "pride comes before a fall" springs to mind.
Bran Maqq Morn was here first i see.
I'm loving these!!!
Very interesting video, I have stayed not far from Cairness House for around 10 years and have always wondered about the family that built it. So to come across this video has really made my day thank yo very much.... 🏴🏴🏴
and yet theres no snakes up there !
Here is a tip. Go to that stone whete uou said its been partially deciphered, then take a landscape photo, then look at the photo and as you look spun5it slowly clockwise.
Anyone stopped to think the visable marks are a deflection tactic and a closer look at the stones will show micro carvings?
I have many many objects with weird and amazing sculptures on them and find them in North East England, north of the Tyne and they're the most astonishing sculptures, and I would love to know who has made them. They're high class sculpture that leave you baffled.
Incredible carved stones; 'Dol' is certainly 'Meadow' in modern Welsh. 'Lanerc'- I'm not so sure but Llanerch-y-Medd on Anglesey could be an example; I'm no archaeologist/linguist, though !
I think the 'crescent' is a representation of a 'draw/bag or sweep' net for the taking of fish either in the river/s or the coast; noticeable that one angle of the 'V-rods' appears to be above the upper rope and the other below; these may have been the means of drawing in the net to secure the catch; the odd-looking 'spears' may be no more than 'tridents' until recently used to spear the entrapped fish- maybe to establish fishing rights ? I'll take my reward in cash... !
Learned a lot. Thank you.
I work in Angus (Glamis) I’ve found some amazing stuff out on the hill there’s even runrigs
One of the best ..Tk you
Your videos are magic!
Seem more like landmarks of territories marked with titles of nobles and kings , could the connected circular (OO) things be chariot wheels with spears.??. The animal carvings look a lot like those of Göbekli Tepe
We generally call these symbols, which you cannot understand, Turkish TAMGA or DAMGA(STAMP) Pictograms. Anatolia, Asia, Europe, even northern Africa are full of them. These are simply signs representing tribes. All Proto-Turks and their contemporaries have such signs. It is engraved on stones in the mountains and slopes.
We also climbed up to this Pictish fortress and spent a few hours there. I prepared a light snack and I also meditated and thought about how the Picts have managed to live there. We also did the Bennachie. The views were breathtaking and I hope that the Picts remain a mysterious culture and looking forward to going back to Scotland. Thanks for that great video from Germany
Hi there and greetings from Germany! I've got a good friend in Peterhead whom we frequently visit. One year we focussed on the castles in this area, the stone circles and last time we focussed on Pictish stones and climbed up to some Pictish forrtresses. I .ike to just sit in front of them and londer about what these enigmatic symbols might have meant and why the Picts just simply vanished from history. I hope that these stones will keep their mystery and look forward to visit bonnie Scotland again. Currently I wear a small silver plate with the V rod and the moon symbol on a leather band round my neck.
