In the 70's my paternal aunt traced their paternal line back to one of the three main Pictish areas in the far North. She discovered the Picts came Via Iceland and landed in the North when no one else was there. After her research, it was thought their father probably had a lot of Pict in him. His tall height, red hair before old, blue eyes which didn't fade to grey until he was at least in his 80's.

My six times great grandfather was Cornelius Keith. And my 11th times great grandmother Margaret Keith was born in the castle in 1560. All of my ancestors were Jacobites and had to flee to America.

Thanks for this as my mother’s side of the family tree has the Keith clan. Some Keiths were very active in the formation of the Quaker Religion. Others were aming the first Virginians and Carolinians. One Cornelius Keith was the first white man to settle the foothills of South Carolina. Cornelius traded with a Cherokee Chief one precious pony for half the county. Originally, the Cherokee considered killing the lone Cornelius for the pony, but his skill as a warrior convinced them to trade.

Tacitus: 'The reddish hair and large limbs of the Caledonians proclaim a German origin...' He was wrong, but it tells us what the Caledonians looked like. Note. He was more often right than wrong.

Pictish? Would have thought having two Brythonic (Welsh) words in the name would have given it away. The Picts were contemporary of the Britons who ruled What would become Scotland. Why do academics attribute so much British history to others?

@scottishhistorywithnico

3 ай бұрын

The evidence supporting Dunnicaer as a Pictish site includes several carved symbol stones found during excavations, which feature distinctive Pictish symbols. Additionally, the style of the fortifications and artifacts align with those known from other Pictish sites, further substantiating its identity as a site of Pictish origin.

The finding of artefacts means little, that would be like finding Japanese artifices in a house in slough, despite ignoring the fact a Japanese family lived in the house for 40 years. Many historians have already de-bunked this sort of thinking, because you find something of one culture somewhere doesn’t lend credence to them owning or controlling that area for any amount of time. However, the naming and its survival is more than enough evidence, as like I said, they were contemporary, the argument about the Britons replacing them could have been made but not while they were contemporary to each other. It’s more likely that they lived under Brythonic rule, and were allowed to come and go as they pleased.

To be honest with you, there is very little evidence of a “Pictish” people. It’s more likely that they were just Britons, but this can’t fly for the Classical obsessed academics.

@WalesTheTrueBritons

We see this occur with many Brythonic sites in England being attributed to Romans and Saxons, and then in Scotland you have them attributed to Picts. There is even a “Roman” fort in Ireland, despite that we have no records of Rome in Ireland, either from them or the Irish, it’s more likely built in the Roman style by the Britons when they ruled eastern parts of Ireland in the days of Brychan.

The majority of the ancient history of Scotland comes from the Britons! Not the Scoti or Picts.

@scottishhistorywithnico

3 ай бұрын

The majority of Scotland's ancient history involves contributions from multiple groups, including the Scots and Picts, as well as the Britons. Each played a significant role in shaping the region's history, with the Scots and Picts particularly influential in the north and the Britons in the south. So, it's not accurate to attribute the majority of Scotland's ancient history solely to the Britons.

@WalesTheTrueBritons

2 ай бұрын

Yes, beyond a certain date. The name of the country combined with major settlements names coming from Brythonic suggest at best a confederation in the era of Scotlands founding. Let’s not forget that the founder of Scotland is said to have Brythonic ancestry on one side of his family. This confederation was between Britons and Scot, definitely not the Picts. If the Picts even existed to begin with.
