  • I believe you can tell crusader monuments by them having crossed legs in their depictions. I would say they were not Crusader or Templar grave stones.

  • Even Roman sites including Roman bvillas, forts, bath houses/saunas before the Pictish Caledonii drove them out. Viking sites and history from every age of man from the mezolithic, dark ages, middle ages and modern age. There are villages still inhabited here over 4000 years old or more. Castles everywhere especially in the highlands and most cities had or have castles too. Also celtic legends, folklore and history. Where are you from?

  • How old are those stone carvings? Were they of any particular family?

  • @GOBRAGH2 the grave stones are of the Hebridean warrior cast called the Gallowglass they moved across europe, england and ireland before the introduction of gunpowder weapons and used the scottish claymore or great sword. They were highly prized as warriors. These will date between the 6th - 13th centuries.

  • @seonidh Thank you for your help seonidh :) Are there other areas in Scotland that have interesting history like what we saw in this video like in the Isle of Skye or Lewis? Maybe the Orkney islands? In this video the warrior/s appear to look like crusaders. Were the Gallowglass involved in the crusades?

  • @GOBRAGH2 no problem friend, yeah theres quite a lot of history. many, many historical sites to villages like skara Brae and a pyramid called Maes How underground in Orkney both 5000 years old. Brochs, crannogs, even last year a man found 4 gold torcs 2300 years old in a field. These warriors wernt involved in the crusaders they wore padded armour. Other knights were though.
