2nd part of the part 1 of A history of Scotland

[happymax1]

I have found in my travels that most French people come from France....

[MrWolleydog]

Enjoyed this video. I am an American and wish more American television was like this!

[segano1]

Picts are the early Scots as 12 years genetic research has proved with the 'OGAP4' 'haplotype', hence If you have Scottish blood then you have Pictish blood, as they are the same people in every way but name.

[Forysan]

Essentially the; Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons are a non-Celtic people with a Celtic culture and language.

[Forysan]

People like the; Picts, Scots, Brythons, Sami, and Basques are the closest descendants of the non-Indo-European Stoneage peoples. The Indo-European peoples; Celts, Slavs, Finns, Germanics, Greco-Latins who came in later became a ruling minority because of the mostly Iron Age technology they brought. Look at it this way; America's structure is primarily British and we speak English. Yet most Americans are not British/English.

[Forysan]

True. But remember Celtic/Gaelic is more a culture than an ethnicity; like the term Western. It covers alot of ethnic and racial groups with common cultural traits. Originally the Celts were an IndoEuropean people who came in after the Stone and Bronze Ages. The original Europeans were a non-Indo-European people that came in waves. Genetically modern Europeans are have more stoneage non-Indo-European in them than Indo-European.

what nonsense, have you heard of the gaels?

[Madcronic01]

It sounds like the women originally didn't have an accent, but later picked it up.

[skymunro]

yup....hear that? the American female archeologist has a wee tad of an accent poking out of her vernacular....haha

[MagUalghairg1916]

I noticed it when she said "houuse."

[laetizia]

and when she saind "maybe" =)

[Counterrevolutionite]

You mean they let them say the Gaels and the Picts were at war?? Hmmm, surprising, especially with all this "Geltic nashuns" mythology at the moment. They missed out the important development of the Lothian & Borders when it was part of Northumbria long before the Gaels though and also the Brythonic kingdoms of the Lowlands.

[seonidh]

Northumbria came after the Gododdun and Strathclyde kingdoms and also Northumbria being in England is a fluke as the nation of England was established before the Northumbrians were absorbed into an English identity. However the Northumbrians left their imprint changing the name of Edinburgh from Dun Edyn to Edinburgh. Gododdun history and the cumbric languages have a longer history in Lothian.

[Counterrevolutionite]

Edinburgh was founded by the Northumbrians since it means Edwin's fort, named after King Edwin of Northumbria. The Scots language, which has roots during those times has been spoken longer than Brythonic languages there altogether since Scots continues to be spoken to this day, while the Lowlands haven't spoke Brythonic since the northern England did either.

[seonidh]

No Edinburgh was founded by the Gododdun celts, but spo what if scots has been spoken in Scotland for longer than the brythonic languages, that scots was a minority language and Gaelic was the language of the Scottish court as with the people. The Northumbrians may have founded a community of sorts, but the name was from the brythonic Dun Edyn not an old English one. In fact the Northumbrians were an indipendent kingdom nether Scottish nor English.

[seonidh]

"while the Lowlands haven't spoke Brythonic since the northern England did either."

Err...no sorry, the Picts as well as the Strathclyde Britons spoke Brythonic long after the northumbrians were absorbed into the English nation. In fact parts of England continue to speak it "Cornwall" as did Devon and Cumbria and still counted in brythonic till recent times. Scots only gained favour in the 14th century because the scottish king deemed it so and culturally split the kingdom.

[Leofricson]

@seonidh No as has been udisputably established by historians. Edinburgh means 'The Burgh of Edwin' 'Edwins Burgh'. There is no record of the name 'Dun Edyn' before King Edwin. Edinburgh was named after King Edwin. Burgh is a bit of a givaway too. Not a remotely Gaelic word. Scots language is a mix of Gaelic, Anglo-Saxon and Welsh. So it would have to have come after the Gaelic, Brythonic and Anglo-Saxon languages. Not before. The Picts spoke a dialectic form of Old Welsh.

[paddythetinker]

the irish ands british peoples form part of the tribes of israel, thats why the stone of destiny (jocabs pillar stone) was brought to ireland and now resides in scotland.

[McAndy89]

Are you serious?? I didn't know that.

[seonidh]

Thats nothing more than a christian fairytale. Sorry theirs no archaelogical proof for that.

[paddythetinker]

some would differ

[seonidh]

People like yourself that have no grounding in the real world and proof for that comment! Go believe in creationism and intelelegent design and mormonism, you seem to believe in fairytales anyway. With your Isreal comment you probably do! Regards.

[ChildMine]

Hm. You do of course realise that in the real world people aren't supposed to be able to prophesy the future thousands of years in advance. I think a lot of people make assumptions about the Bible when they've never even read it. What Paddythetinker said would be correct I believe...

[leajo47]

[ALBACELTS]

[UkShowsSubtitles]

I am not Scot, but French :) That's why there are subtitles for everybody. I love Scotland, probably the nicest country and very fascinating. Sad people don't always realize or care about that.

[hertblue]

Vive la France! Vive la vielle alliance ;-)

[xTSMxTeamScouseMafia]

Aye fuckin Americans an' blackies tryin teh think Scotland is their homeland. They need teh stay in fuckin America or Africa lol

[MilitantOldLady]

what are you shouting about with yer Liverpool logo blaggard? :D

[alanheath]

@UkShowsSubtitles I think it is very good of you to put the subtitles in. Maybe I don't need them but there are many who do!

[hertblue]

Neil Oliver said in an interview that it's being shown in the new Year in England. I hope they don't bury it and give it a prominent place in the schedule because it's an excellent series and very interesting perspective Oliver takes.

There is also an issue that there is in the media at least an pervading anti-Scottishness and this could help remind English people of our perspective. However, in reminding me as a Scot how proud I am I'm grateful and won't lose sleep if its ignored elsewhere.

[hertblue]

Why don't they show this in England. It might help English people understand us a little better and most English people would love it anyway.

[ALBACELTS]

yeah good shout!

[wiggy1988]

It is on in England.

I found it too be a bit fast paced. cramming so much information into a one hour programme seemed a bit difficult to pull off. For example the last episode on Robert de Bruce completely ommited his campaign and subsequent defeat in Ireland.

Still a well made show however.

[TSInfamous]

@hertblue I am sure they do. I have definately watched something with this bloke presenting.

[alanheath]

@TSInfamous He was one of the presenters of Coast which seems to be shown non stop on one channel or another in the UK.

[KateFan]

@hertblue I'm sure it was shown in England, I remember seeing some of it. I kept missing it so I'm catching up on it now. I love history I find this fascinating. All the best
