Very Nice presentation. Thank you. As a genealogist I have been chasing my Abernathy [Scot] family history for almost 40 years now. A couple of years ago utilizing the best genetic Genealogy DNA testing available, I discovered that "I" originated from an area of the NE Scottish Coast near current day Aberdeen. They described my line as Pict and it goes back 4,000 years BCE. I was amazed! Still love learning more about the Picts, Gaels etc.

The Scythians have never simply disappeared. The became the Sarmatians/Alans, whose direct descendants today are the Ossetians in the Caucasus Mountains. The Ossetian language is among the remnants of the Scytho-Sarmatian dialect group,

You're right, I should have worded it better. I meant that Scythian proper came to an end around that time, but the culture did survive through later groups as you say.

@@celtichistorydecoded That is Ok. Both Scotland and the Steppes (and even England) have complex demographic history... There is not clear cut line between the Scythian and the Sarmatians, or for that matter the Slavs and the Mongols, or any neighboring other ethic groups. keep up the good work.

Didnt know that. Thanks

You've just described my genetic DNA history. I think this subject is fascinating! Thank you for your hard work.😊

the genetic study is fascinating, my mother is a Stuart, her maiden name, and I have ran her line back as far as the 1780s here in America, they along with other Scots folk came here to the highlands of the Carolinas in 18th century, during Colonial period.

It's silly to say that the Irish were descended from the Spanish when the people in Iberia at the time of those migrations time weren't Spanish. In fact, it would arguably be more accurate to say that Iberia was occupied in part by the Irish.

This is one of my favorite historical channels! So glad it was in my recommended.

The 3rd Cent. time line suggested for the Scythians being the first Picts does not work for me because the Brochs were already hundreds of years old. Maybe the Brochs were built by an earlier sea people!!!???

Interesting video Ste. My Stewart’s originally came from Brittany, though I don’t know from where before that.

Fascinating! My paternal haplogroup (R-M167) has its origins in the Pyrenees, even though my paternal line can be traced as far back as the 13th century to Staffordshire, and my 23&Me report advises that my background is 92% British and 8% Other Northern European. This must be why I like tapas - LOL!

No, no it doesn't, it just means basically that you are another Yankee of the Yank Doodle with a dodgy DNA kit that is trying to gain attention by making yourself seem more interesting and unique as an American. Simples.

What a murky mist of time before 1,000 years ago. One important point is that the names people called each other was fluid. 'Scots' may have sometimes seemed to migrate from one area to another, but only the name was changed.

Bede and the Declaration of Arbroath are primary sources but are hardly primary sources of Scot's genetic ancestory. I'm with you, and Barry Cunliffe, on the importance of the Atlantic Coast Culture and believe that people came into Britain (displacing the Western Hunter Gatherers) along a seaborne western route long before there was much immigration across the Channel, the only thing that hints at this though is that Neolithic culture seems to have drifted south from Orkney and Shetland rather than moving north from what's now eastern England. I can highly recommend 'An Atlas for Celtic Studies' by John T. Koch as the clearest and most archeo-historical book on the spread of Celtic culture and migrations. I really enjoy these vlogs, usually because I'm location spotting Central Scotland from your B-roll, but it would really improve them if you could cut out verbal repetition.

sure do enjoy your many programs

Tribe of Dan refers to the Danish (Dan for Dan-ish, the people of Denmark). Just like the Yankees are of the Yank Doodle tribes of North America from as far back as the Columbo era of the Americas (1492, Medieval America). No one knows exactly where John Scotus was born, some now retrospectively claim he was born in Ireland, but again, this is 'retrospectively' - in the sense Ireland went through two phases of completely re-inventing itself, the 16th century and the 19th century, plus his actual full name was 'John Scotus Eriugena' - the Eriugena name relates to Ireland (as you can see by the etymology of the word), not Scotland, so if 'Scot' meant 'Irish' then he would not also have the name of 'Eruigena' to indicate Irishness as seperate from Scottishness. And he did have both because he would have been another historic figure who identified as a Scot who settled Ireland but would then retrospectively be later rubber stamped as 'Irish' by Irish nationalists who claimed him as one of their countrymen. For example John Duns Scotus was born in Scotland, and he was named in the same fashion as John Scotus Eruigena, but he was clearly born in Scotland (this is never disputed) and he has no name that etymologically relates to anything Irish in any form, whether Hiberni, Erui or Ierne etc. There's no etymological relation to the words of 'Scottish' and 'Irish' in any language. They both have their own characteristic exclusive letters and unique placements, for example; Scottish - Scot - Y-Scot - Scyt - Scyth - Scyth - Scythae - Scythia. The word Scutten is an ancient Germanic form and the word Skotto is an ancient Greek form. The historic Asian based Scythian also referred to themselves by the word 'Scoloti'. The Scots largely are an Indo group of people. While the Irish are Southern and the word etymology again indicates unrelated origins, i.e., Irish - Hiberni - Iverni - Ierne - Iberni - Iberia - Hyberia - Iber - Eber - Erui - Eruigena etc.

Something interesting i recently read about, seems to show through genetics that the Scoti/Gaels seemed to have settled in the West of Scotland first and then migrated into Ireland. Instead of the reverse as previously though. Which makes sense logically as it'd be easier to cross from mainland Europe into Britain then into Ireland, than from mainland Europe into Ireland. Also the possible Greek origins of "Scoti" and "Scotland" from the Greek "Skotos" meaning "dark/gloom". May not have much evidence to support it, but it certainly fits with how little sunlight we get compared to the rest of the British isles.

Professor Sykes talks of CelticTribe in Britain 6000 years ago. There was no Celtic language or people 6000 years ago - they had not at that point split off from Proto- Indo-European. The people who came to Britain 6000 years ago were Neolithic Farmers who originated in the Eastern Mediterranean, and who might have come to Britain through Iberia. However, according to analysis of ancient DNA, 90% of these Neolithic Farmers were replaced by Bronze Age imiigrants who were descended from the Step Herders/Bell Beakers/Corded Ware cultures who lived in what is now The Netherlands. For Professor Sykes to say that "The majority of people in the British Isles are actually descended from the Spanish" is misleading because after the Bronze Age immigrations only around 10% of the British people were from Neolithic Farmers. But after 6000 years even the 10% that they contributed to the population will be present in small quantity in all British people taday.

You make many good points, thank you. My point, aside from the semantics etc, is simply that there probably was a notable migration from the Iberian Peninsula into Scotland around that time, and others afterwards as well, and these migrations have perhaps survived in these origins stories that reference Spain.

@molecatcher3383

​@@celtichistorydecoded Yes. The origin myths couldreflect acual events that happened, e.g. the "from Spain" might refer to the Neolithic Farmers migration from Spain and the "from Sythia" might reflect the Bronze age immigrants from the Stepp. Also after the arrival of Christianity the "from Egypt" may be an imagined way of connecting the Scots to the then known oldest (and admired?) civilisation. I think that the "from Egypt" myth is the one least likely to have any basis of truth.
