  • Scotland's Picts have long been viewed as a mysterious people with their enigmatic symbols and inscriptions, accentuated by representations of them as wild barbarians with exotic origins. So where ARE they from?

    UK’s ancient Coronation Stone of Destiny has ‘strange markings’ and could be a fake

    In the Highlands especially in Cathness and Sutherland the old Norse and Gaelic singers talk about an old land that brought the Picts from todays Scandinavia ie Noway i think the singers are talking about a land bridge perhaps 10k years ago called Doggerland?

    My ancestry dna results show 65% Scottish and 7% Irish and 20% English. So this video really touches on most of my ancestry. My parents did a different test than I did and it shows where most of our English comes from. It's Merseyside, Tyne and Wear, and Lancashire. I'm assuming and ancient way of describing would be a mix of Dal Riata, Pictish and Breton. Because there is no Pictish language left and very little Breton I'm interested in Scottish Gaelic. English was imported.

      So you are, like me, typically British. Ie. A mix and match of immigrants.

      "Picts were local to the British isles in their origin". Not immigrants. "Gene pool drawn from Iron age".

    The symbol of two circles adjoined (3:19) is also found on the south coast of Fife. Though in a very plain form. Could it be astronomical or an overhead view of a settlement or a weapon?

    For the longest time I went off my surnames as my family’s origins this led me to believe I was German and French but it turns out that I actually am half Scottish Norwegian and danish because my moms great grandfather was adopted by French Canadian couple

    Very cool. So they were a tribe of Celts. It would have been nice to have more than two samples but the fact that they were so far apart suggests the population as a whole probably had these same genetic markers.

      you should into own dna , i usad lots different dna to see how each are close to ther info mation , my true ancetray have put me into lots of celtic tribes and do have some dna of pict may self i hav hi persaentiages of celtic dna and into reginal tribes of uk too ,also my 23 and me dna also put me into dna close to that of nile of nin hostages high king of irland i also used living dna to , my true ancestry and 23 and me have give ancient irland line to that of neil of nine hostages ..........

      Hardly I think these peoples predated anything you could call Celt.

    What is the YDNA haplogroup of these Pictish burial site samples?

  • @WolfRoss
    @WolfRoss Před 9 měsíci +10

    There needs to be really old DNA and compare these against the Scottish Diaspora because of the Clearances where most Scottish people were forced against their will out of Scotland. Modern populations may not be valid. My personal papertrail in Europe more closely matches the archaic DNA rather than current populations. Too many wars and too much Diaspora.

    • @helenamcginty4920
      @helenamcginty4920 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I have been told by a Scot that the clearances werent as disastrous as portrayed in folklore. Worth researching I think.

  • @paulstewart8459
    @paulstewart8459 Před 6 měsíci +1

    So, what were the YDNA halpogroups found? Ancient DNA, of the type found in Neolithic pre-Celtic Britons, would suggest they must be I2, and like the Britons, adapted the civilization/culture brought to the islands by the later Celts- and their remoteness and ability to hide in the highlands, likely produced the later legends. Perhaps this remoteness may have also meant a lesser adaptation of the Celtic culture, making them seem barbaric to even the Celts, who themselves were viewed as barbarians by the Romans.

    Excellent commentary. I come from an Abernathy/Abernethy line and have been involved with in depth genetic genealogy studies of my lineage. [live in the USA] To my surprise my YDNA was traced back to the Pictish People living in the area North of Aberdeen from some 4000 years BCE. If one has not done so yet, check out the Declaration of Arbroath 1320AD. That crucial document contains the ancient story of how Scotland [Picts] came to be first inhabited by people migrating from the (Russian) steppes...Sarmatia area. Amazing to me is how closely the Scott's migration story follows the modern DNA trail across Europe to Scotland.

      All the theories are quite interesting about where they came from, hopefully we will know for sure at some point. My surname Smart is "apparently" derived from the Pictish tribe Smertae living around Caithness and Sutherland. I read that they were referred to as the "smeared ones", apparently they were known for smearing themselves in blood, either sacrificial or from on the battlefield. Quite interesting, not sure how true it is but either way it's badass!

    perhaps second born daughters left their homeland while first born stayed. this would be the same as with some patrilineal peoples.

    be nice if can go even deeper as 6 mins or so dosent give hole story

      You can find the paper. It goes deeper but so far limited samples. Shows a mix of "I" and R1b.
