I'm from the N.E. of Scotland. Family have been here for as long as we know. People don't realise that we don't consider the S.W. to be the same peoples. We can still tell if someone is from here or there before they open their mouth. One of the most peaceful amalgamation of different peoples in history and we're proud of it. We're a (all) Jock Thamson's (Thomson's) bairns. Good video bud
The Picts were the northern Britons who the Romans never invaded. They basically spoke the same language as the Britons of England and Wales, albeit without the Roman/Latin influence. So they were still basically Celtic speaking. The Epidii were are Pictish tribe who lived in what is now Argyle. Due to their geographical isolation from the rest of the Picts they found it easy to trade and interact with the Irish across the narrow sea. So they adopted the Irish language (Gaelic) and became kinown as Scots. The Scoti or Scots was the name that the Romans gave to Gaelic speakers. These Scots established a kingdom called Dalriada which extended into Ireland. There was no Irish invasions of Pictland, but the Scottish king and aristocracy inherited Pictland after the Danish Vikings killed the Pictish king and his nobles. Prior to the Viking raids there had been much intermarriage between members of Scoti and Pictish kings and nobles. The Picts eventually became Scots after adopting the Gaelic language. The Picts were first introduced to the language after the Irish converted them to Christianity.
Great video. I love hearing about the Picts. My father is a Pict descendent... but the actual original names are unclear as they weren't very meticulous in record keeping. I can only tell you the Scottish clan names (or surnames) that we know of in my family. Cunningham, Fisher, Stewart, MacSorelly. There are several others but these are the only names I can recall at the moment. There are bloodlines of Picts, Druids, Celts, Saxons & Vikings that run on both sides of my family.
Yeah, given that the British isles were constantly invaded by different cultures which tended to mingle with the population, who knows how many names/cultures/religions were forgotten. I just wish AI knew what Picts looked like! Don’t think the images it spat out looked very good.
Sorry, but Druid and Viking were both occupations, not races, so you have no way of knowing if any of your family were one of them. In the case of the Druids it is very unlikely, as there were not many of them.
Not all families forgot the old, self-sustaining ways or their family history. We got a real kick out of my sister doing her 23 And Me and ffinding out we had traces of Irish Scotts, ancient Germanic and Stepp folk, Scandinavians and a smidge of North African that link back to family stories of how we came along to be. The Moorish trader that came to sell and didn't go home, the Dane that came aviking and was taken prisoner by an ancesstress (ahem!) but got packed off after a few babies for drunkenness and a refusal to work the farm, the Irish princess being the reason for our strong matrilinial family tradition... that made it all seem a little more real.
@AI_Imagines_History there's always a debate about how accurate it is but for folk that just don't know, I think it's worthwhile. They go on sale periodically, so that makes it doable. For us, we knew we were several variants of Scottish, a smidge of the Scandi, Welsh, Viking, Irish, and one lone Moore. It was fun to find out it wasn't just Grandpa William"s bedtime stories. The thing that hit for me was that the family wealth, heirlooms and treasures have always passed to the elder daughters... so hello Pictish? Idk, but it's fun to think about.
My 3rd great grandmother’s last name was Wylie and I am unsure of what clan that would be, but the family migrated to Ireland in the 1800s not long before moving on to Illinois USA
Wish I knew how to point you in the right direction of a certain clan. If you know what region of Scotland she was from it may be easier to narrow down! Merry Christmas!
Wylie is a relatively common surname in Scotland and Ireland (its derived from the forename William) but historically Wylie's closest kinship is to Clan MacFarlane, I believe.
Great video, though the title was a little jarring, as Scots and Picts were two different peoples. Also, i dont think the AI knows what a Pict is, but thats certainly not your fault. 😂
The picts are the original tribes of pictland, Shetland and orkney east Scotland and Cumbria and Lancashire that's the picts the masters of stone work and carvings
Ireland used to be called Scotia, but the Scots never came from there. They were already living in Argyle and were the Epidii tribe of Picts, but they adopted the Irish language, i.e. Gaelic inorder to trade and communicate with the Irish and thus becomming Scots. BTW due to its geographical location the people of Argyle found it hard to interact and communicated with people in other parts of Ireland. Hence thee reason why the intercated more with the Irish

@@Yakkityyak248 glad you enjoyed it. Interesting that there’s that divide

I’ve heard a lot about 23 and me. I’m lucky to know my family history, but is it worth it for those that aren’t too sure?

@@marcellacruser951 at the very least sounds like it was worthwhile for your family
Loved it❤
Thank you Charles, appreciate the support!
Hi, I’m from the clan MacCleod.
There can be only one..
So, the Picts still exist physically but do not paint or tattoo themselves Blue any more

Even when you are wrong you are right is real kinship!

what a pileof shect and the pictures and accent finish it off
😂😂

Rhe Scots are from Scotia not Ireland as the name of Ireland did not exist until well into the 10th century
Ireland used to be called Scotia, but the Scots never came from there. They were already living in Argyle and were the Epidii tribe of Picts, but they adopted the Irish language, i.e. Gaelic inorder to trade and communicate with the Irish and thus becomming Scots. BTW due to its geographical location the people of Argyle found it hard to interact and communicated with people in other parts of Ireland. Hence thee reason why the intercated more with the Irish
Enjoyed the clip clan Mackay
Clan Wilson
Bad pics of picts mate
Agree with you Wayne, the Generative AI Midjourney REALLY struggled with this one
"A Scottish Pict", hmm...
this is all poorly executed cut & paste.
