I think I get the “picture”

I am Scottish and have been interested in the Picts for many years. Your video is one of the best short videos about the Picts that I have seen. However, I think that too much is made about the "wildness" of the Picts. We know (often from documented personal names) that the Pictish nobility intermarried with the nobility of their neighbouring kingdoms, i.e. the Scots, the Britons and the Angles. It was also common for nobility to spend time as exiles in the courts of neighbouring kingdoms when it was not safe for them to be in their homeland because of dynastic feuding there. They would often return to their homelands bringing foreign influences back with them. Also, recent archeological finds have shown that there was extensive trade networks between the Picts and their neighbours, and even with far distant lands. Consequently there was a large amount of cultural, and material exchange between all of the kingdoms in northern Britain. As such the Picts would have most likely had the same level of civilisation as all of the other peoples of their time and would not be the wild "savages" as claimed by some.

Nice video. I come from a town called Monifieth , an area steeped in Pictish history.

I really appreciate you didn't make the mistake of mentioning that the Picts died out. Rather, the data suggests that how they were referenced by outside people changed dramatically at the same time the Pictish culture was changing due to the outside influence of constant invaders.

Exactly buddy, they merged with the gaels to create Alba then Scotland. The DNA of North East Scotland is still markedly different from the rest of Scotland

That was very well done . It has taken years to learn what you described in 8 minutes

Hadrian's Wall = Proof that good fences make good neighbors! When the Picts could no longer free-range raid upon Roman Britain; they decided that they would rather trade. Thx for the mini history lesson . I like your channel. 😊

King Henry the eighth’s dissolution of the monasteries is Probably the biggest reason we don’t know much about the Picts as those monasteries acted as libraries and hospitals of the time and King Henry had any codexes with gold, silver and gems on their covers that were considered non essential burned.

Always wondered about this group and who they were. This video is a great primer on the subject. Also, the reference to various dates in history is very helpful. Thank you for another interesting talk.

I used the Pictish Beast motif shown at 7:37 on the face of a home made sporran. I wondered as I rendered it if this was an elephant ... not an eyewitness illustration of an elephant but perhaps a drawing of a description of an elephant handed down over generations. Where would the Picts have encountered elephants? Perhaps during Septimius Severus's ill fated shock and-awe invasion of Caledonia with his 40,000 man army. Did they have war elephants? Could be....

The Gaels from Ireland did invade Scotland , there is even one or two towns in Scotland , their names Gaelic names for the town or place name translates to mean , Irish . Speaking of language, the Scots Gaelic language is actually Irish , brought over to Scotland by invading Irish Chieftains, and when hundreds of years had gone by , the Language in Scotland diverged into something different, although most words in Scot Gaelic is the same as Irish , i think there is about 3 hundred words that are different than Irish.

From archaeological and genetics we know now that Scotland was formed of three groups. The hunter gatherer people, the first farmers and Indo Europeans. The Hunter Gatherers were few in number and lived on the coasts, the farmers arrived about 5500 years ago via Europe from the Middle East and built the stone circles. About 2500 - 3000 years Indo European groups began to arrive. The Farmers seem to have called themselves KRITAN which changed with the changes in Celtic over time to become Brtan or Pretan. In Ireland where the Celtic Q-Kw-Gw sound did not change to B-P the name continued to become CRITAN and eventually Cruithne. These Cruithne people were associated with the West of Ireland and are sometimes known as the "Black Irish" because of there different darker appearance. They also tended to be shorter. The picture seems to be one of a stone age and early bronze age people adopting culture and eventually language from Indo-European (early Celtic Proto Celtic) language. The language was much altered and continued to use a lot of the grammar of the Pre Indo European language. Which is why Gaelic and Welsh grammar resembles Semtic middle Eastern Languages more than Gaulish and other Indo European languages. Pronunciation probably was affected as well. There also seems to have been a later Iron Age Celtic immigration of associated with the Milesians in Ireland. These people coming from Northern Spain and the Atlantic coast of France. Making the Tuath De Danna the first farmers the Fir Bolgs being the early bronze age Proto Celtic immigrants. The Irish myths give a general sequence that fits generally with the genetic and archaeological evidence. A process of settlement and addition of new groups of immigrants bringing new technology and culture. Each new group mixing and changing the population. Different admixtures producing different regional cultures. The Picts seem to have been an admixture with more Pre Indo European culture and First Farmer influenced Brythonic Celtic language.

Brythonic was once spoken everywhere in Britain and is the official lanuage of Britain today All culture was learnt and memorised in rhyme form. so it wasn't necessary to write it down ..This is where the bardic traditions of Prydain originated.with Taliesyn and Aneuryn from the North of England..They used the old Brythonic 'Coelbren 'script that was used by all druids.(their priests.)It has also as now allowed all Cymric peoples to be able to read the Egyptian Hyroglyphs.Crazy shit no?

if you have a mind to it, you can follow our progress from southern europe, up through france to cornwall and then to wales, the isle of man, ireland and, eventually scotland. the origin of our language is difficult to pinpoint, as we speak a version of gaelic, mixed with scots, english, doric and brythonic, although the brythonic was spoken more in the lowlands. At some point in our history, the brythonic tongue was replaced with a hybrid of gaelic and norse* resulting in more of a patois than an actual language, and that eventually became Scots. most of us speak english now, but the remnants of the old tongue are still there, even though most people dont even realise it. * see Orcadian for evidence.

They were not "welsh" in any way shape or form. No more than the Gauls or Celtiberians were "welsh". "Welsh" describes a modern population from a defined modern area who have had just as much time to evolve their language and culture as everyone else. They may have been Brythonic but "Welsh" is something else entirely.

It is thought that Picts spoke a language similar to that of Britons from the south but not the same . So rather than the Gaelic languages it would have been from the Brythonic branch that Welsh and Cornish also came from. "Aber " is as you say a clue to this ( rather than Gaelic " Inver " as in Inverness , Inverurie ) but also "Pit " names such as Pittodrie , Pitmedden, Pitsligo etc.also come from the Pictish language The Pictish words which were borrowed into Scottish Gaelic also helped with the divergence between Irish and Scottish Gaelic. . Bede (673-735) an Anglo-Saxon monk wrote "There are in the island at present, following the number of the books in which the Divine Law was written, five languages of different nations employed in the study and confession of this knowledge [of Christianity], which is of highest truth and true sublimity: these languages are English (Anglo saxon ), British, Scottish [Gaelic], Pictish, and Latin, There is also a growing wealth of opinion that the name the picts had for themselves was " pecht"
