Same to you from a brother Scot.

If this tale proves one thing, it is that those lasting divisions between all peoples of the British Isles were instilled by the ruling classes and had little true relevance to the people under them. So he states that the differences between all peoples here are but small. Then, as a man born amidst the mountains of Wales, raised on the Northern moorlands of England, who has travelled and lived among those of the four corners of these isles, from The Lizard to John O'Groats, from Donegal to Dover, I say, like so many others full of love for all the people of these ancient isles and their noble histories: may we protect these, our woven legacies together, from those who would once again see our true identities dissolved, our names defamed, our loyalties divided, to stand on these isles as the many faces of one and the same people - those bold and resilient born, those who once travelled through lost Doggerland West and those folk who followed them after to settle the wilds of these, our homelands.

It was a completely different set of people who travelled through doggerland. Of the two populations found in Cheddar cave, we have a tiny percentage of one and vanishingly small trace of the other in our DNA. From the neolithic farmers (ultimate origin, modern day Turkey) who brought farming, we got about 10% or so of the UK genome from them (as well as the biggest henge monuments.) overwhelmingly we are descended from late-bronze-age migrants whose ancestors became a population/culture as cattle herders, somewhere close to the Black Sea.

@@eh1702 I am aware of that, however, in this case, good fellow, that is semantics. And, though the majority of those folk appear to have died out, they left behind them a bold legacy of astonishing stoneworks which we have all been enjoying ever since, so they are present still and their influence on us all is real, so, I'd say, though their line may have been broken, they remain ancestors of those resident on these isles - legacies can continue irrespective of bloodlines.

@Jesse P. Watson yes, the ruling class, or elites as we may call them today, are very good at division. They do not care about the general population of people and their well-being, but care only about themselves.

CORRECT

My Scottish grandmother's unknown Norwegian blood showed in her red headed son's Ancestry DNA strongly. The Isbister family lived for centuries on the Orkney islands, and historically it is known the Vikings wintered there both on journeys to North America, but also before heading down into Europe on raids via waterways. So yes the Scandinavians had influence though he only briefly mentioned them.

Slight hint regards this - most northern part of mainland Scotland - Sutherland ( southland).

The northern and western islands were the only Norse parts and they then became certain clans so not everyone is Norse as you think.

and the influence of the low countries, current day flanders and the netherlands.

I’ve done genealogy for decades.

@@MarshalMarrs So you're a map as opposed to a mac.

'Gael' isnt a true term of substance other than for understanding modern collective linguistic categories, it was not historically a real term for a real distinct people, and was not in use prior to the 16th century. Gaelic is not a nation, it never was a nation and never will be nor should it ever be.

@@PredatorUpHill you are thinking of Celt George, the English speak English, the German speak German, the Portuguese speak Portuguese, the Gaels spoke Gaelic, the Arabs speak Arabic, we attach meaning to semantics, this is how we distinguish categories.

@@PredatorUpHill Typical Campbell comment (with a fine Campbell first name too). Next you'll be telling us that internet isn't a true term of substance as it's not historically a real term (whatever that means). No-one in this video nor in the comments said Gaelic was a nation, so why are you stirring up argument? To be clear - Gaelic is a language.

There never was a Clan Grier, the Grier's were originally MacGregor's, they changed their name from MacGregor to Grier during the proscription of Clan Gregor, from 1603 until 1774. The name Grier is classed as a sept of Clan Gregor, as such, all Grier's are essentially MacGregor's. The name MacGregor was altogether abolished in 1603 by King James VI of Scotland, therefore it was illegal for anyone to call themselves MacGregor on pain of death. Many MacGregor's chose other names like, Grier, Grierson, Gregg, Gregory, Gragg, MacGrowther, MacGruder, Greig, Grigg, Grewer, Grigson, etc. The infamous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor (1671 to 1734) called himself Campbell for much of his life as that was his mother's maiden name. The proscription against Clan Gregor was briefly lifted during the reign's of Charles II and James II for their help in getting Charles II this crown back, when James II was defeated by William III in 1688, he proscribed Clan Gregor again because the fought for the Jacobite cause against him. The proscription against Clan Gregor was finally abolished in 1774 by George III, MacGregor's were finally given the same rights and privillages as all other British citizens.

The term “Anglo Scot” doesn’t make sense since Scots are already an Anglo Saxon people. The Scots language is Germanic.

Indeed Scotland has the highest percentage of redheads on the planet followed by Ireland.

I too have the Irish, Scott, English, German, Swedish and Iberian. Gibson, Taylor, Grinnell, Brookshire, Domin, and Powell are the names of my Grandparents.

Pebyl, like Irish puball are borrowed from Latin papilio, which is also where pavilion comes from. Much like Paisley likely comes from Latin Basilica due to an early church there.

Yeah, that claim almost seems as dubious as the oft-repeated claim that early medieval swords used by the Scandinavians and Picts and Saxons were based on the Roman spatha. As if they would copy the sword of a dead empire when they already had their own native sword designs. A rather preposterous notion, it is.

@@supernova808 Etymologists have a good idea of where words came from based on their spelling as sounds mutate in regular ways. It's how they're able to predict earlier word forms and determine relationships such as St Bride being a variant form of St Brigid and both deriving from a form something like Brigantia. Given that the Welsh stopped using the word Albion to describe Britain and began using Britain shows how much influence the Romans had in the 350+ years they controlled Britain, compounded by the early Church also being heavily biased in favour of Latin and the Roman point of view. It's not difficult to believe that Roman military terms like papilio came to replace whatever native term was originally used. It's the same with arrow, the Irish and Welsh word for arrow comes from Latin sagitta (whence sagittarius). The Germanic word for arrow incidentally is pila, from the name of the Roman javelin. German pfeil, Swedish pil derive from this. Two weird adoptions by the Celtic languages are supposedly the words for gold and children from Latin aurum and planta. Welsh eur, Irish ór and Welsh plant and Irish/Gaelic clann.

@@lowlandnobleman6746 The Germanic people provided a huge chunk of manpower to the Roman Empire either through those living on the borders or through foederati who were large groups including entire tribes contracted to the Empire for military service. They were very much part of the Roman war machine and would have been influenced by the technology of the time. Germanic helmets are descended from late Roman ones, the draco military standard was retained by the Franks at least til the end of the Carolingian period and the English army at Hastings are depicted with one in the Bayeaux Tapestry. The idea that the Scandinavians were some sheltered cultural isolate is just not tenable. Even the earlier Celts show influence from the Greeks and others.

Yes. There was influence from the Mediterranean, even as far north as Scandinavia. Even the Picts would adopt the occasional Roman trinket or Latin coin. I never said they were some isolated group bereft of contact with foreigners. Refrain from putting words in my word. The idea you mentioned is indeed untenable. Much like how the idea of the spatha being the inspiration for arming swords is untenable when you consider where it came from. Things of Roman make did appear in Scandinavia, even coins. But let’s not forget that the Romans copied their helmets from Gauls, their shortswords from Iberian Celts, and their ovalur shields were also inspired by Celts. This all happened after the Romans had originally mimicked Greek tactics and weaponry. The spatha itself was likely based on long-bladed La Tène Celtic swords of similar design, used far earlier than the Roman spatha. So even if you maintain that the spatha is the basis of the arming sword, you’re still left with something that was originally Celtic or Germanic. Just as the idea of Scandinavia as an isolated entity is untenable, the Classicist presumption that everything in Europe must have originated in the Mediterranean is equally untenable. Why would a local Pictish or Danish warrior have a sword made in Roman fashion when every other person around them had a Celtic or a Germanic sword of native style? You can argue all day that they would have been familiar with things from Rome. But it cannot be denied that they would’ve been even more familiar with the swords of their own culture.

A few maybe’s. The Pictish language was most likely closer to old Welsh than old Irish.

The Picts obtained their Tattooed status on their way past China They had an Identification mark and the Chinese thought it was of one of their enemies and they used to boil their enemies alive. To avoid this the Group smothered themselves in body decoration to avoid Death

Jim Penny Pict was the last Pict- orial language to exist and was only driven out of existence by Kenneth 1st in the 860's AD after the murder of Donald 1'st Ive read the stone it is inscribed on as I have translated the Pict Language - which has only some 200 stones left Kenneth and his Scotti missed a few of the important ones when he destroyed them 😉😉

Mostly crap. Even "skut" is "shield". "Pict" is "pic", the same root in "piccolo", reference for "people of the small islands." Not much to do with "picture" in modern english, thou the etymology of "picture" is related to the meaning of "tiny paint droplets."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The Scottish were not in what we currently call Scotland at the time of the Roman Empire.
