Why Did the Fiercest Tribe in Scotland Vanish? 

I’m a rangers fan that was funny

My dad comes from the line of Picts

@@jigzonyt517 he sells blue Avon creams at car boot sales

🤣explains alot lol

What about Specky Bams?

We mustn't forget that it's been raining

😆

😀

in case you are still wondering the Picts never disappeared they just gradually assimilated into Gaelic culture and language as the kingdom of dal riata to the west merged with Pictland

Teaser for a full episode bruh

You have to watch the hour long episode, this is just the teaser.

They became Christian.

Clickbait

Just look them up on RU-vid or Google

They died. 🤤😲☠

David Cameron (former British PM), James Cameron, Robert Carlisle, etc. all have that pointy-nosed, hawkish, brunet Pictish look. The Picts are still there. They just call themselves "Scottish" nowadays.

What I think is likely is that King Kenneth I united the Scots to the Picts and then made the culture primarily Scottish.

I always assumed the Celts were White until I read Geschichte Deutschen und Skythen (History of Germans and Scythians). Until then I had no idea they were Coloureds. They were also mentioned in Mohren Bilder (Black Pictures).

Skin and hair color are actually the least important traits in determining what "racial" grouping one belongs to. In terms of Anthropometry alone, the Picts (Brythonic types) are actually much purer Caucasians than many of the blond (but snub-nosed) population of the British Isles. If one has seen (mutant) African albinos of the sub-Saharan regions, it would be noticed that despite their 'albino' skin and hair, they still retain their stereotypical African facial structures (e.g. broad, heavy jaw, broad, flat/snub nose, etc.). However, these traits are seen in many Europeans as well. For example, Steve Bannon would be very African-looking, if he was even slightly sun-tanned. By contrast, a Pictish-Brythonic type is usually dolichocephalic (long-headed and thin-faced) and leptorrhine (i.e. with thin, prominent nose) and thus very Caucasian-looking despite how "dark"/brunet they are. So a large percentage of Europeans (blond or not) would look like "albino Africans" when standing next to a thin-faced, pointy-nosed Pict/Briton.

@@AK-dd9od Furthermore, the law forbid people to marry someone with the same skin color. Point blank! You can find that in King Ferdinandei Annales which he includes Geology of all Royals and why they exiled Hvite(Whites).

Haha sounds about right

@@gallantscotland8590 the very same reason my old man is teatotal

🤣🤣

Here well said

Aye Tae lol......

while inspecting the USS Puget Sound many years ago, when off work we became tourists. what i enjoyed most were the Scots, and their enormous patience and warmth when dealing with americans. and he's right about the cold, that and i'd heard stories of sailors struggling elbow-in-arm to avoid being blown into the Loch by the winter gales. not for me. but i still enjoyed the visit.

Most bush towns in Australia would give you the same answer.

Frankie Boyle joke thief.

Hate speech. Reported.

My family has included the women's surnames as a middle name for a few generations that I know of. I think it's a good tradition. The side of my ancestry from the women is not ignored. Ross, Sutherland, Sangster, Anderson, Munro are the first that come to mind. No "Mac's" in the collection oddly enough.

Blended, rather than single malt, Scots.

It was more to do with their conversion from paganism to christianity over a couple of centuries.

Would that suggest why Campbell is actually a very popular name in Ireland, probably specific to Northern Ireland?

Basically 👍

Just shows that a court of law isn't everything.

@@thekingsdaughter4233 Yeah. What does Anderson know about it anyway? Anybody would think he was a lawyer or something ...

@@KozmykJ to a judge or lawyer, the court of law may be the world. For the rest of us, there are more things in heaven and earth... ;-)

Brahahaha 🤣😂😆 can’t trust a lawyer anymore than a lying cheating politician 🤣😂 most politicians are lawyers☠️☠️☠️

@@thekingsdaughter4233 heaven is for delusional idiots, law and courts for the rational and sane man.

Pictish King Bridei III and Northumbrian King Ecgfrith who met in battle in 685 were cousins, sharing Edwin of Northumbria as a grandfather. Edwin was supposedly fostered by King Cadfan ap Iago in Wales as a child, and later spent time in exile in East Anglia under the protection of King Rædwald (probably the man buried at Sutton Hoo) as Æthelfrith, then King of Northumbria, wanted him dead as a potential rival claimant to the throne. When Anglia and Northumbria went to war, Rædwald won, installed Edwin as King, and Æthelfrith's sons went into exile in the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata, and in Pictland. This one quick delve into history shows how the various Brittonic, Anglo-Saxon, Gaelic & Pictish kingdoms were closely connected, not strangers to one another. The Picts didn't disappear from Scotland any more than the Mercians disappeared from what became England, they were just absorbed into a larger whole.

And the strange thing is that this is the scenario that has the most evidence and that is widely considered to be the most likely by those who study the subject. Yet YT is still full of “why did the mysterious Picts disappear.”

The romans were dumbfounded when they came to Scotland, seeing us ride about on horse ridden chariots and plaid warriors. The wall was the biggest engineering stone structure of all Rome's campaigns . Is there was nothing beyond the wall why build something so marvelous?

Not completely true. The romans built the wall to keep the tribes in the north of what is now England, from getting out and travelling north to get Pictish support against the romans.

Picts were a confederation of celtic tribes, ethnically they were the same nation(Celts)

While my father's family were boarders people my mothers family were highlanders connected to the MacDonald and Maclnnis clans who settled near to what had been pictland.

Nice to hear I'm one as well

I’ve been to those caves and Sculptors cave.

Brian any space for a caravan 10 solar panels and us up your way

Hey man, I am curious of my heritage, so I was wondering if you could answer this. My last name is Kirkland, and from what I've read it's of Scottish ancestry. But were Kirklands Highlanders or Lowlanders? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yes that's true the Romans called them painted people, that's the only record of us

Proven through modern genetic testing. The bloodlines are even prominent in N.Ireland.

@@josephray7255 thats because the scots invaded n.irelad but also the fact that ireland and scotlands peoples have always been connected to one another. Maybe language was different but genes are almost identicle.

@@warrioromarzthefirst5949 the Scots did not invade Ireland, on the contrary.

@@brazilianbhoy your kidden right???? Seriously a simple google search will show that Scotland and ireland have invaded each other several times. Trust me.

@@warrioromarzthefirst5949 The Scots did not invade Ireland, they came from Ireland and invaded the west of what is now Scotland, They renamed the west Dalriada after their ulster territory of Dalriata.

The British killed them off.

@@kamanashiskar9203 uh oh-

It means painted people, but what they called themselves who knows but their artisry is of great skills

Bloody freezing country. I should have been born somewhere hot. Constantly freezing even in the So called summer.....

Freezing? It’s kinda warm here in the mountains.

No such thing as cold weather, only inadequately dressed x

:D yes

*Pictland? The Scots hadn't invaded at that point and weren't even in what we now call Scotland.

most of us have since left our Christian beliefs behind also, onwards and upwards.

I like your passion ,I hope someone finds the culture and language in a book in a lost tomb I think they are out there. The stone of destiny was taken away for hundreds of years, the heritage goes back way before any other family in the UK and irland. How can you have kings and systems in place for hundreds of years before anyone else, culture tradition, art. Then its just gone! No way I'm not having that. I would love to see the literature of the ancients of northern Brittain

@@petermacleod2402 +imagine being able to go back 2000 to 4000 years ago as an invisible conscious entity and listen in as you walked aside them (invisible) as they hunted in a forest. To eavesdrop on their language and magically understand it. To see what they looked like. To witness the size of the caladoneian forest from above. I had a book once that showed the original extent of the Caledonian forest and it covered 80% of Scotland before the first tribes began to clear it before others came. England also was covered up to 80% in decidious and decidious/coniferous mix. I would loved to have been invisible as a time traveller and eavesdrop on a conversation between two English villagers in say the 11th century. Walking up the brow of a hillside track outside a medieval village. I have a metal detector and have found Anglo saxon and celtic and roman coins in Sussex where I live. To dig them out of the soil knowing your the first person in hundreds and thousands of years to hold them in your hand is magical. Nobody may ever know what happened to the picts, perhaps some day it will be confirmed. But imagine being able to see the full extent of the original caladoneian forest at its full extent in all its glory 3 or so thousand years ago. I know there are only a few tiny scraps left and newly planted forest. But..... The bears... The wildness... The lost animals. England has lost so much wildlife as well. We can stand in some places on the sides on hills and mountains and only imagine. The celtic coin I found has a head on one side with a wild hairstyle which must have looked even more wild in real life. It makes me angry that so much of England has been lost.... Woodland wise and old English buildings. And that I don't believe the current Royal family is the true royal family of England at all. I imagine you feel the same way in regards to some parts of Scottish and pictish history and lore as well. The truth may be revealed one day. To the continental Europeans Britain was a strange place shrouded in fog. And it is... The past much more so. And that makes it even more awesome. A fascinating and beautiful place yet also dark and mysterious. And Scotland even more so.

Don't think the Scots or Picts ever had a battle with the Welsh e though the Welsh did fight with their English masters especially under Edward 1st

try reading "the eagle has fallen" to find all about the Ninth Legion

Sounds like ypu go to the wrong pubs 😐 or you're the one who kicks something off?

Hello brother

Also a nomad in the PNW, tho thrived in Alaska over 25 years. Would really like some great advice researching my own Scottish roots if your inclined to share👀

Exactly, 4 millennia. We were Picts, not Celts, so I'm glad that you know the difference. Most Americans don't. Good for you.

Pretty sure you can find their descendants on every fruit machine in the country.

You just said they got heart disease without explain how.

Ask the Queen of England

They simply blended in with other peoples at later times .

we are still here!

they heard stories of places that didn't have month-long ice storms and became essex "snowbirds". and some didn't return at all.

​@@Xantank Are you suggesting the Queen had something to do with their disappearance? Jeez mate she's old but not THAT old...

@@ememmeme8722 Exactly!! And quite literally, too! Lol

@@Frankowillo Yes, we do drive on the opposite side of the road from you.... And it's the right side! Lol

😆🤣

Same way the Vikings assimilated maybe?

They assimilated into Christianity and abandoned their pagan ways, as for becoming Scots, everyone in the land known as Caledonia became Scots when all the kingdoms united and crowned the first first king of Scotland Kenneth MacAlpin, the name Scotland was chosen by democratic vote.

@Jacob Israel That's just a theory, there is no evidence to support it as yet.

@Jacob Israel - I know and so too are most of the other tribes, they just each got here at different times.

* Apart from the aristocracy - they're mostly Anglo-Norman.

The English are Germanic. Not Celtic . the welsh are the Britons not the English. God I hate it when people call English people Celtic.

@@malcolmjcullen which are Germanic. not Celtic.

@@kylyndadams5232 DNA proves that the English are mainly Celtic still(with a small admixture of Germanic). And even more Scandinavian(same as the Scots & lrish). When the Anglo-Saxons invaded, the Celtic Britons were mainly absorbed by the invaders & took up the new language in order to survive, l guess. Don't take my word for it, do some research of your own. And why do you "hate" it? Plenty of Welsh, Scottish & lrish have Germanic blood. Don't get Race confused with Language.

@@kylyndadams5232 English people have apparently 38% Anglo blood...so...the rest is celtic.

Yeah they did Only 5 irish clans went to caladonia. Gael way of conquering was take over the higher class and rulers then the population will adopt the language themselves they only used small groups and get into top positions to dictate law

Most intelligent poeple do....shocking but true

he seems to have circumnavigated Britain as he describes it as triangular in shape,

Yes and the more remarkable fact is that this was said to have occurred in 325BC when only two years earlier Alexander the Great had died in 323BC.

Och I man

He should have booked his trip for summer where it's pretty much constant sunlight 😉

You are American. Not Pictish sorry bro but that last drop of Pictish blood you think you have, has been so heavy diluted it no longer exists. But I appreciate your passion for a heritage you so desperately want to be a part of.

@@MrKirk94 No it hasn't. They just changed their name to Scots. But that doesn't mean that they don't exist. And you saying that would be like saying that the Natives living in America today have no Native blood left in them anymore from those who lived there 1500 years ago.... I can literally trace my family back all the way to 600's Scotland to the direct spot on the map that they lived. You may not pay attention to where you come from, but I do and so has my family for many centuries.

@@MrKirk94 And by the way, I don't "want" to be a part of anything. That's just the way it is.... It doesn't matter whether I want it or not. I'd much rather be from somewhere else that had much less heartache in its past and a little less intrusion from conquering neighbors. But that's just not the case. It's one of the reasons we had to leave in the first place.

@@gimmethepinkelephant3685 honestly there isn't very many 100% true blood Native Americans anymore in America. They have interbred with so many Americans over the past 300 400 years that currently there is only a very small percent that are full blooded Indian. It's crazy how fast that it happens. In the future we all will end up being one race, I truly believe this. It would take thousands and thousands of years but I believe it's really possible for that to happen.

Hollywood history, it must be true.

Hollywood,California is renowned for portraying accurate historical perspectives ! Lol

@@michaelmorgan9289 look it's not accurate to the tee but it's a good movie that gives us a visual of the time and the people. It's the only movie I've found that portrays the picts fighting the romans.

The hebrides and western highlands are culturally and genetically Gaelic so no

@@jgenard Okay... But is this based on academic research or personal experience with the people in question AND academic research?

That would be the northeast, Aberdeenshire , loads of green eyes here, including me!

​@@jgenard you know the Gaelic people genotype has more capabilities to produce array of phenotypes then Germatic people who are the white people because they are the people who came up with the terms White and they come from Central Asia while the Gaelic people come from the Middle East which is North east Africa so they are not white people because all white people have to come from Germans now the Gaelic people are known to have some historical figures that came out with dark skin and different phenotype features then what they normally produce people who look black or African

@@zur2016 basically they’re black

Someone had to be the first to say what everyone was thinking. Well done, Bill.

The Picts were lucky, the Roman Emperor was so frustrated with the resistance of them, that he ordered his son to conduct genocide. The Emperor then suddenly died, and his son took over the Empire. He refused to obey his dead father's order, worked out a symbolic peace treaty with the tribal leaders and pulled his soldiers out of Pict territory. Shortly thereafter, the treaty was ignored and things returned to normal

Israel !!!!!!

Och ye got me all mixed up the noo

I’m Caledonian from the caledönii tribe

@@hrofn3r205 not really a tribe, more of a kingdom. Caledonia is a general word created by the romans to describe the Scottish. That makes us all Caledonian. Same with Alba, it was another kingdom but nowadays it just means Scotland

@@Domn879: Not waste it on watching that segment.

I’m B-

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 true that

Nonsense, the Scots were Irish Gaels, the Picts British Brythonic. Different language, culture and more.

They assimilated into Christianity and abandoned their pagan ways, the rest of Scotland was Christian so they just blended in with everyone else....their blood still runs deep in Scotland.

@@crinolynneendymion8755 the scots were never irish gaels

I've heard this too. In the mountains of NZ, communities of blonde ginger green eyed people said to be the oldest known people there. Also has one of the densest populations of negative blood types.

@@mccartneystuart They were called Patu-pai-a-rehe, fairy people

@@antonoka to my understanding they're still there.

@@mccartneystuart Yes we are my friend in our bloodline and our ancestors and descendants who are living today.

No Way they sailed 16,000 km away

See TRAN and Jannisaries by Jerry Pournell.

So what you're saying is that an alien culture came to earth to pick up some Picts. In short, they made a Pict pick up.

The Picts did not disappear, they assimilated into Christianity and left the old ways behind to follow one god and not multiple gods.

No, I'm saying if you don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're', you're not worth arguing with.

They became Russians.

I do but I already know I'm a bit German

Nein if I did then they would be lost in the piles of central European and English, Japanese history

of course they never disappeared, there culture was assimilated by Gaelic culture

Itsnot thatmuch manpower.
