  • Thank you for posting the videos, I appreciate it much. Scotland is so beautiful, the landscape actually takes my breath away. I'm hoping one day soon, I am fortunate enough to visit your gorgeous country. Much peace...

  • Traces of other beliefsstill exists without interference from Rome:

    Wednesday = Wodens day (aka Odin a/the god)

    Tuesday = Tiwesday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr

    etc

    Thursday = Thors day (Thor the god)

see all

  • @ozipk its not as bad as you think intact England has a far higher crime rate and we know how to party 

  • @ozipk  Another sad little english troll .......

  • @metalandjazzare1 You'll change your mind when you get stabbed by an alcoholic. Beautiful country, just a pity its full of wankers. At least mother England is keeping the savages under control for now... but they want independence! What a waste of a pretty country that would be.

  • i do love living here

  • 4:19 something just doesn't seem right about the section of the carving where the celtic knotting seems to have been taken away, or not finished. as if it was broken and replaced possible?

  • yo yo yo

  • @WRz101 - I knew about Wednesday (Woden) and Thursday (Thor), thanks for the Tuesday recap though duder. ;-)

  • jamgilp - Thanks for posting my friend. I never got chance to watch this series when it was first broadcast by the BBC.

  • @squirell1952 Sorry but you are wrong. You think that when the Saxons came every native Briton ran to Wales leaving what is England now completely empty ?! No! Saxons came and settled but the majority of the population in England where natives. After a generation or two you would be unable to distinguish between a Saxon and a native. Oh and the Anglo- Saxon Kingdom of Northumbia included Edinburgh and southern Scotland for hundreds of years so Scotland hardly has a unique "culture does it" ?

  • The introduction of christianity to the Picts was a move in a better direction, but there journey still needs to be made complete with the acceptance of monotheism (ie. as belief in the One Living Incorporeal G-D) by the Celts.
