Great video very interesting, i live a few miles outside The Broch. I have found worked flint, including an early neolithic arrowhead between 5000 and 6000 years old. Probably from local flint.

A group of folk and myself did DNA tests for American clan society's. The results showed that people in the northern half of Scotland have predominately Celtic and Finnish DNA. My DNA was typical, 90% Celtic and 10% Finnish. The Finns could have been the deer herders talked about at the start?

09:30 Why would Scottish ports have been fortified against the Spanish in 1588? I thought Spains beef was with England. Was Scotland also at war with Spain in 1588?
