- This is the first video film we made in 2014 exploring the history of North East Scotland. It examines the latest thinking by archaeologists on the unique stone circles found in North East Scotland.
Thank you for this terrific series of documentaries on Pictish history. I greatly appreciate the clearing away of the past and present misconceptions of why our ancestors took the time and effort to erect these structures. In my youth I have searched for and explored the stones of West Cork and Kerry. Excellent work.
Brilliant!
Thanks for your time and effort.
I did not know that such circles existed.
Thanks for sharing , i dont live too far away from these but untill now i never knew they existed.
This is such a well done video, and so interesting. THANK YOU.
This is a great documentary video. I learned a lot more about unknown Stones circle in 🇬🇧. Thanks for sharing.
I just appreciate the fact that there are nice people who are out there documenting these beautiful sites! Thank you! Our family moved away from Scotland in 1848, but DNA testing shows that on our Dad's line we are Pict and Icelandic Scot. (Norwegian) from The Ayrshire/ River Clyde area and Aberdeen as far North as the Shetland Islands where the Pict met the Norse in our line. Also verbal and written link to Glencoe being traced by my brother. Your videos of this area help greatly!
Wish he uploaded more often every upload is 💯 percent class
Flowers on the stone - lovely touch
I have left wildflowers in many chambered tombs in Wales and England. For our Ancestors. We are all pagans inside our private minds.
I leave quartz pebbles
Definitely linked to our use of headstones. The Viking burial with a stone ship outline shows representation. The stones represent people. They are from livestock farming people. Milk,cheese etc is so important to human culture. The seasons are important. People were superstitious and in touch with their spiritual side.
Thank you for posting, a very enjoyable and interesting video.
one of the best videos because the info is balanced and dispels all the mystical mumbo jumbo. liked and shared!
Paradox time.It was mystical mumbo jumbo that created them that thousands of years later archaeology attempts to understand. it is new agers who may have a better emotional attachment.

New agers. Lol
They were brutal times. There was early death and suffering, no antibiotics, women and children died in childbirth, dental abscesses, ear infections. They loved, formed bonds and attachments. What a beautiful way to eternally honor their tribe.
Thank You so very much🕊🔥🙏
I think it's enough to recognize that humans need to feel a sense of permanence; something bigger than themselves. These may or may not be static tools used to frame and measure shifting celestial changes, but either way, the construction of a lasting and invulnerable space was surely motivation enough.
Enjoying your videos. Inspiring me to visit these stones. (Forres).
Remarkable !
Thank you so much for the research and the time obviously put into this superb video....that has widened my view of these structure, have subscribed to your channel, and look forward to many more interesting videos.
Quartz is in many ancient stone monuments made of grantite; quartz holds electrical charges.
Yes they do and any dowser worth their salt will tell you the circles are electrically connected.
Yes. Piezoelectric transduction: the interplay between physical force and electric charge.
So right, frequency
Pilgrims used to take quartz pebbles to places of importance 🤔 I do this too
sorry, just subbed and binge watching all your videos.. some phenomenal info and ideas
Thanks for sharing! Very scenic and fascinating.
That is a remarkable idea...and it makes sense. I think the circle is a symbol of eternity, continuity, and that all people are part of the circle / cycle of life...a clan or family. An ancient idea that is beyond the reckoning of time in many old and modern cultures. I do however think that it is a place of pilgrimage and meditation/ personal worship as well as a site of symbolic rebirth or continuity in the presence or sight of the ancestors...a memorial that draws in the energy of the living world and focuses it upon the memory of those who went before us and are still with us in a way.
Very interesting and informative. I visited the Clava Cairns a few years ago. Fascinating!
Thank you for the video! Fascinating theories and evidence. Was there every any evidence that the recumbent stones may have framed particular events like summer and winter solstice, perhaps being used like a seasonal calendar. They could have been used in conjunction with the burial rights to mark certain sacred burial times.
Winter solstice..always 👌🏻
I think the large horizontal stones are alters,,probably for sacrifice and relevant to the sun movement,,,but they are amazing.
Hadn't seen these. We can bet the old places are not in cement boxes i.e.rainwater.
12:10 - 12:20 Doesn't it look like one of the Pictish "seahorses" or creatures on the stone that he's leaning on? It's shaped the same. And at 12:10 between his leg and the stone, look at the Pictish crescent. How could he miss that?
That only YOU can see. They are Neolithic monuments, thousands of years before Pictish symbols. Of course Picts COULD have carved images on them but in the case of the stones in the video, they didn't.
He has done other films on Pict symbols / images , in this one he is talking about what they 'may' have been built for. How could you miss that ?
Can u go back and get drone shots?
There are some drone shots in our video “The Power of the Land”.
idem 2023 ++++++ en - - - - - -
Any evidence seen on the stone surfaces such as the bore holes could have been done anytime over a period of the thousands of years. It is not necessarily part of the original construction.

Nice story but total fiction.
@Ross Meldrum yes you're right . It's a very bold statement to claim this is fiction when he offers absolutely no evidence to the contrary .
History this early is conjecture and educated opinion ✌🏻
