I've always been suspicious about Roman claims of victory at Mons Graupius. For example, they claim that the Caledonian chariots got stuck in the mud but a number of things about this set alarm bells ringing in my head. For example, wheeled vehicles were not common in Scotland even as late as the 18th century. The Scottish actually used a sort of sled, much to the annoyance of General Wade's engineers, as it tore up the road they were trying to build. Why would a people that live on and know the land use wheeled vehicles in battle when they know perfectly well that they wouldn't work? I feel it's quite likely that the Mons Graupine battle was a fabrication made to make Rome look good and in actuality they got bogged down in protracted campaigns against people that they fundamentally misunderstood and could not therefore control and that they likely were worn down by an attricious war without any real pitched battles.of the type they liked to fight.

Wesrminster stripped/stripping Scotland of its investment and funneling it down to the bottom of England while the population down there flourish and come up to Scotland to buy second homes and force the native population of Scotland

@harrisonboone2248 "....please do not try to pass on history to younger generations unless you educate yourself first." What exactly are you teaching the younger generations sir, with your high-handed ignorant tone. I do not know you, or, Kevin, but, you certainly forget your manners and the art of debate. In my opinion, you come across as "very puffed up". The old saying, "pride comes before a fall" springs to mind.

I have many many objects with weird and amazing sculptures on them and find them in North East England, north of the Tyne and they're the most astonishing sculptures, and I would love to know who has made them. They're high class sculpture that leave you baffled.

Incredible carved stones; 'Dol' is certainly 'Meadow' in modern Welsh. 'Lanerc'- I'm not so sure but Llanerch-y-Medd on Anglesey could be an example; I'm no archaeologist/linguist, though !

I think the 'crescent' is a representation of a 'draw/bag or sweep' net for the taking of fish either in the river/s or the coast; noticeable that one angle of the 'V-rods' appears to be above the upper rope and the other below; these may have been the means of drawing in the net to secure the catch; the odd-looking 'spears' may be no more than 'tridents' until recently used to spear the entrapped fish- maybe to establish fishing rights ? I'll take my reward in cash... !

We generally call these symbols, which you cannot understand, Turkish TAMGA or DAMGA(STAMP) Pictograms. Anatolia, Asia, Europe, even northern Africa are full of them. These are simply signs representing tribes. All Proto-Turks and their contemporaries have such signs. It is engraved on stones in the mountains and slopes.

We also climbed up to this Pictish fortress and spent a few hours there. I prepared a light snack and I also meditated and thought about how the Picts have managed to live there. We also did the Bennachie. The views were breathtaking and I hope that the Picts remain a mysterious culture and looking forward to going back to Scotland. Thanks for that great video from Germany

Hi there and greetings from Germany! I've got a good friend in Peterhead whom we frequently visit. One year we focussed on the castles in this area, the stone circles and last time we focussed on Pictish stones and climbed up to some Pictish forrtresses. I .ike to just sit in front of them and londer about what these enigmatic symbols might have meant and why the Picts just simply vanished from history. I hope that these stones will keep their mystery and look forward to visit bonnie Scotland again. Currently I wear a small silver plate with the V rod and the moon symbol on a leather band round my neck.

The problem was people think the picks aren't scottish or from ireland. It was a name given to them by the romans for the tribe that lived in northern scotland and ireland that were unique in different had to other than the norm for the romans.. Pick means painted people we all knows it. Indigenous people in all of our lands have a wave of expressing ourselves, body, art and culture..

Sheep ceased to be profitable after Bells?, built a refrigerated ship on the Clyde. NZ & Oz exported their wool to Britain and now had a market for the meat. Home produced lamb couldn't compete and sheep were replaced by deer. Many shepherd's left for the colonies and Argentina.

Sheep were never really profitable. A sheep could never be a great painter, philosopher or poet, let alone a crofter, mason, weaver or blacksmith. The clearances were little more than salting the earth to destroy resistance to the union and to feed the Empire with manpower.

Thank you, very interesting. My father lived in East Lodge as a child from about 1929 until 1937. His father was an employee at "the big House". He has told me many stories of his time there. He would have had no idea of its links to slavery. Although more fortunate than many of his contemporaries the whole class system meant that they were definitely an under class.

That is very interesting. Your Grandfather was, like most of "the under class", kept ignorant of the true source of his employer's wealth. Many owners still go to great lengths to protect this knowledge, although some of the more enlightened estates are beginning to acknowledge some aspects of it.

People romanticize the wide-open countryside, but it only reminds me of the clearances. Let's continue by rewilding and replanting of the Caledonian forest so that the clearances apply to the landowners as well.

Can't agree less, less re-populate the empty glens and reverse the harm that the Clearances continue to visit upon locals. Affordable houses for locals are more important than 'rewilding' or such nonsense.
