It would be very helpful to identify the YDNA haplogroups of these lines. The name "Francis" appears in our Boyd line in 1850. From our "R" YDNA haplogroup line, branches the Stewarts, Clan Campbell and Clan McLaren. Clearly our line descends from Scotland. There appears to be an imposter Boyd haplogroup with origins in Czechia that claims to descend from the Noble Kilmarnock Boyds. Could it be the French connection that you have introduced? Distinguishing these haplogroups would prove to be extremely useful. Haplogroups don't lie, make up family history or usurp clans.

Well done to Jonathan and Adrian. cheers

Fascinating video, thanks. I believe my 7th ggf was reverend here between 1665 and 1689.The reverend William Crooks

Great photos of great times, when the world was a better place.

A military invasion of Argyll from Ireland does not make sense. The Argyll men would be descendants of the men who withstood the Romans for hundreds of years and they were the ancestors of the Gallowglass (R-L1335 Y haplogroup). We would need some real solid evidence that they were overtaken militarily by Irish monks and cattle rustlers to believe the Medieval accounts were other than aggrandizements of influential persons. Of course, cultural exchange likely extends back to the time when Indo-Europeans first settled Britain but there were no scribes to write about it until the Middle Ages. Regarding Picts, they were likely Gaelic speaking commoners ruled over by Brythonic speaking elites. When the Brythonic elite lost power - Scotland became (again) Gaelic. It's extremely hard to believe, without strong evidence, that Old Irish diffused through Medieval Scotland.

It is very nice, thank you very much for this

Lol the Campbell crooked speak

Just to make it clear, there was no country called Ireland until the 8th or 9th century. The Romans and Greeks called today's Ireland was called Scotia (Scotland) and the tribe that existed was called the Scotti. The Picts invaded today's Ireland in the 2nd century these Scotti might be the descendants of the Picts from today's Scotland, there is zero connection that the Scotti are Irish as Ireland did not exist. It was all myth by the later-day Irish Monks to write a story of Ireland.

The mixing of megalithic Anatolian farmers who spoke some Caucasian-Semitic language with IE settlers (Yamnaya) who were herders looking for metals and lands created the “Bell Beaker” who were likely the Proto-Celts. The Semitic language features of Celtic language grammar were not imported into the Celtic languages from Central Europe. They arose in situ along the Atlantic Seacoast (Portugal, Armorica, Cornwall, Wales, Ireland).

Why do we suppose that the Bronze Age of Ireland and Britain was not entirely Celtic in language, identity, and culture? We do we not suppose that Celtic Languages were lingua-Franca of trade and pagan economy rather than markers of ethno-racial identity?

The Irish Kingdom of Dalriada, was alot larger in Ulster.

Thanks, lots of good information. It should be 'yamnaya' culture (ямная культура), with the stress on the second syllable. They originate from an area known in antiquity as Scythia. Hence, the creation theory that the Scots are descended from the Scythians is valid!

Excellent, very informative historical heritage, my ancestors Hoy, O hEochaidh Dal Fiatach dynasty, Hoy island Orkney, HAEY Norse, alot of history here, amazing looking back on where we have come from and today, we have all come along way, lets all hope we dont repeat our past of cival wars, all the very best health and happiness.

....In 1957 I was 18 years and in the U.S.Navy aboard an aircraft carrier, the Wasp CVS 18, and we had just come down from the Artic Circle...... We visited Scotland, and anchored off Oban, Argyle where a little craft named the Lochinvar took our liberty party ashore..... I loved the town and the people....Many years later in reading history of the McDowells, I found that I had been in the area of the origination of my family name....I was suprised and greatly touched that I gained this knowledge and have cherished the memory of my day in Oban and my possible kin, to this very day....... P.S.: It was the first time I ever tasted Scots whiskey..... I liked it.

Thanks mate

The court tombs reminds me of St Peter's in Rome.

suspect dalriada extended further south than your map suggests,eg ayrshire and galloway.hiding in plain sight-dalry,dunree, st, johns town of dalry,well of the rees.

fantastic

It's so beautiful to see how the traditional music from our ancestors passes on and on, especially considering how endangered Gaelic is. Such a charming performance, thank you for sharing it!

Great so if I got this right we know Fergus Mór is not a product of 10th century myth making like Campbell claimed, we know it predates the supposed 10th century myth making by 200 years thanks to the book of Armagh, Notulae. It's not hard to therefore link the tradition even further back based on this evidence. I wonder why historians have not attempted to apply real modern techniques and evidence to these stories. National origin stories don't pop out of thin air especially one this old. I think Scottish nationalism might be playing a role in the denial of the possibility that the scots did indeed come from Ireland.

Excellent! I could have read this many times without it sticking but this presentation, giving the whole history of the topic, keeps all the information mutually dependent, relevant and thus understandable/memorable. Great stuff! If I had a question it would be on a minor point for clarification. The Vikings attacked Recru/Rechru early in their raids and in many accounts Recru is understood as Rathlin. But isn't Rechru the island now known as Lambay off the north Dublin coast, Portrane, on the mainland facing it translated as 'Port Reachrainn'?

Hard to take...beating the Irish drum...they have, the Irish that is, have a habit of hijacking history....it's the small man syndrome.....very sad...the picts are Irish......as well. ...let's claim it all.....LOL sorry Cormac but your bias is clouding your intelligence.

Lovely!

Excellent video.

I think loughneagh was important

wow great job! thank you

go h-allain

Never take the word of a Campbell. Can we say Glencoe?

The map of Da Riada that is used is the presentation, represents the understanding as of the 1970s. Today Cenel Comgaill are identified as ruling Strathearn and were kings of the Picts. Oengus mac Fergus was, I would argue, was also of Cenel Comgaill. Namely a cousin of Nechain

Thank you for uploading this!

Interesting video but no mention of descent through the 'kings' of Dal Riata. The legendary Fergus Mor Mac Eirc, who is thought to have lived from 430 to 501AD, is regarded as an ancestor to the future Scottish kings. When an ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II, James VI of Scotland, became James I of England his Gaelic Dal Riatan ancestry would have also entered her genealogy. James was quite proud of this ancestry and wrote "happie Monarch sprung of Ferguse race". Also when James II was welcomed at Kilkenny during the Williamite wars he was greeted with "We conducted a Fergus to Scotland; we welcome in James the Second the undoubted heir of Fergus by lineal descent of one hundred and ten crowned heads". But then maybe I am biased towards Fergus the Great as I come from County Antrim, where the 'kingdom' of Dal Riata originated and I was born in Carrickfergus!

We made an error in the Q and A: The talk is fine, but in the Q and A at 1:13:30 we went wrong. Someone referred to the marriage of the daughter of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, with Viscount Magennis, which he thought was a Scottish name. And then he considered whether Martin McGuinness was related to these, and had a Scottish name. It sounded right, so I went with it. I mused about other nationalists with Scottish/planter names, like Gerry Adams, and talked a bit about fixating on male lines. But in fact, it is not right. Viscount Magennis is an Irish name. The conclusion is in fact the opposite. Rather than Martin McGuinness having a Scottish name, unionist Ken Maginnis has an old Irish name.

Fascinating.

Is there sheet music available for this...if so where? I am a harper and would love to have the music for myself. Ann Licano

Absolutely lovely! Could someone please post the lyrics to this song?

So beautiful ❤️

Where would we be without our indigenous heritage? Beautifully done. And your forebears would be proud.

Beautifully played and sung. 👍❤️

Pure excellence

Beautiful

Enjoyed this talk very much. Thank you.

How did I miss these talks? Fascinating Nick. I knew next to nothing about Corrstown and it's importance! A great pity that it could not have been studied in greater detail over a longer period before the developers moved back in. perhaps throwing a searchlight on a period of Irish and even British history that still remains dim. And as for Ugg's DNA fascinating, does his DNA make-up correspond with any of the legendary/mythical tales of our prehistory as related in the Book of Invasions/ Lebor Gabála Érenn? Much to ponder.

Thank you. Very interesting 👍

Well done everyone that was brilliant.
