  1. Well said many people have little understanding of the truth/facts, well done!

  2. There was also a massive plague that swept the west between 555-60. Probably part of the recurring Plague(s) of Justinian. Gregory of Tours in his history of the Franks records the plague in his country. Cities being laid ruin and whole regions reverting to wilderness. The traditional histories of Britain talk of a mass evacuation of the survivors to Britany. The Germanic peoples (and Irish) just walked into an empty land.

  5. Hello, a very interesting book you might want to read is โ€œAlbionโ€™s Seed- Four British Folkways in Americaโ€ by David Hackett Fischer, specifically the section titled Borderlanders to the Backcountry. It describes the history and character of these people and what happened to them when they got here (the U.S.), how they were received and viewed (not very well), and how they ended up in Appalachia. The whole book is thoroughly interesting describing the totally diverse influences of British culture on the U.S. in the early years of itโ€™s formation. Thanks for the video!

  8. I had very red hair as a child and freckles. 2 of my brothers were the same. As we grew older our freckles disappeared, but we still had very fair and sun sensitive skin. Our parents both had black hair. Glaswegian mother Liverpudlian father. Now in old age (I'm 64) my hair is more browny ginger and taking a long time to go grey. I have to have stronger anaesthetics because I wake up during surgery. It's happened 3 times...๐Ÿ˜ณ

  9. Blue eyes, hair quite red as a child now ash blonde or brown looking (at age 67) but if I try to color my hair certain colors, I have to take the red out first. So, I would say it is underlying red.

  10. Stewart here, however, when we did Dad's DNA test in 2012, we matched far more Hamilton's than Stewart's. Roberson was another match. I started research in 2004, and was only able to get back to 3rd Gr-Grandfather, John Steward/t b.1794/5 in Pennsylvania (county unknown). Still cannot get back farther! So, I've spent my time filling out the fan chart for both parents. It's been a fun journey!

  16. I am enjoying listening to your voice and distinctive accent, from here in America. I appreciate you sharing about the Welsh connected people of Scotland and England. A good friend of mine on YT lives in Wales.

  19. Druids can be descendants of Gymnosophists. After Alexander's failed invasion of India, several brahmins went back with Alexander to Greece. Some of them might have migrated northwards.

  20. The Silures were the best when they went up against Rome. Academia sure do love to big up North Wales. Rome only got into Wales via Trade and only upto Caerlleon and Wrexham. The Druids were highly educated, The Zodiac originated in Britain (Wales). Ynys Mon! When Rome met the Britons....The British were Christian and Rome were Pagan. People need help If they believe a few thousand Roman troops took over Britain, especially seeing how Britain was home to a few million people at this point. Most of the Roman records were duplicated and forged by Poggio for the De Medicis in the early middle ages.

  21. Wonderful video. And wonderful accent. Ignore stupid criticisms

  22. I have hazel eyes but they're so dark that they look brown but you hold up a bright light you'll see the green and brown. No one believed me until I got my DNA tested and it came back saying I had dark hazel eyes.

  26. Have you ever considered doing a video on how red haired people need more anesthesia Its mentioned on the red hair Wikipedia page with the sources?

  27. I love your videos on the picts as my mothers family is Scottish supposedly from the highland region. Thanks!

  28. Green eyes here and i truly do appreciate them! Cool video, thank you!

  29. One thing people love to point out about the Celts is that they were a not a uniform empire and that they had many different factions but this was the norm in the ancient world even the Greeks which are now put on such a high pedestal were not a united group and spent more time fighting each other than they did foreign peoples. Great video thanks for sharing.

  30. Fascinating as usual. Thanks for all the research and hard work you put in ๐Ÿ™

  31. Yeah the Bell Beakers basically wiped the earlier people

  32. My Friend, there is overwhelming evidence of Templar activity in Scotland, a lot more than is credited! I have a lot of research already and still have some work to do but I am in no doubt that the Templar Knight`s helped at Bannockburn, the question I have now is, Why is being covered up? what is the issue? if they helped, Great! Acknowledge it and move forward, i do not yet understand but I hopefully will!

  34. He is Scottish, he is completely understandable to me although I am British so we are used to each others accents and dialects mostly.

  35. Thank you! It's driving me nuts that most/almost all of the analyses I have read have not even brought up banshees. It's literally in the title. That is a major part of analyzing the themes. Love this film, love your analysis.

  36. Hey Ste. I love the ancestry/dna stuff! My Stewart lineage, came from Dol-de-Bretagne originally, by the 1100โ€™s our lineage bided in Scotland. Alan Fitz Flaald (one of my many times Great grandfathers) was a Breton Knight, recruited as a mercenary by King Henry I in his conflicts with his brothers. #IHaveTheIrnBruGeneToo ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™ve got English, North-West Europe, Welsh, Scottish & Norwegian dna, Ive been building my tree for years, Iโ€™ve found all except for the Norway link, but your info may help me where to look geographically. Thanks Ste ๐Ÿ˜Š

  37. My cousin has red hair and blue eyes and her husband has black hair and blue eyes and their children are all blonde with blue eyes. And I know another family where it's exactly the same. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

  38. That is correct. Your y-dna results only represent a very small (but laser-focused) snippet of your total genetic makeup. And yes, it is on your strictly paternal line, as you said. That dna does mutate, but quite gradually. R1b is the most common y haplogroup in western Europe. I have the R1b result on both my father's paternal line as well as my mother's paternal line (I had a maternal Uncle tested for discovering my maternal grandfather's y-dna).

  39. I would safely say that the scots predate the Scythians. Its possible though. Celtic peoples once stretched from spain in the south west, Ireland in the north west all the way to the crimea and asia minor in the east and possibly as far as china.

  41. They were israelites. One of zedekiahs daughters name was Scott and she married a Egyptian Prince. The other daughters name was tamar her nickname was Tephi tay she married a Prince from zara judahs son twin to phares. Tephi came with jeremiah the prophet to a place called Tara a word which derives its roots from torah. In ezekiel it is prophesied that the crown of King David would turn turn turn and it did from the destroyed Jerusalem to Ireland to Scotland to England. Thus God's promise to David has been kept that a descendant of David will always be on the thrown of Israel. Known later as the divine right of Kings. Zara was the twin whose hand came out at birth first. That is why in Irish heraldry there is a red hand . David's harp is also in heraldry. The word Anglo comes from the word an gael meaning a person of garlic descent.

  42. Absolutely. I am a 4th generation Kiwi to Dunedin. Otago, NZ and were cleared from the Highlands. We still play the bagpipes, go highland dancing and go to Highland Games, celebrate - the bards - Rabbie Burns supper. Did a DNA test recently and was 85% Scottish and 10% Swedish. We hop to travel to Scotland for the first time next year and will wear the family kilt.

  44. They did a movie based on this, called Centurion, I think it was called. Romans met some Picts. Very dramatic.

  45. At 8:45 mins you show a map of i2.....Galway and Mayo in Ireland seem to be high in this gene. Maybe that was the entry point of boats into ireland 5 or 10 thousand years ago ?

  46. Ireland Viking Genetic Legacy Autosomal DNA approximately 23% is Norwegian. Dublin Vikings -- Norwegian Cork Waterford Wexford Vikings -- Denmark Wexford -- Norman Capital The genetic legacy of the 3 core Viking territories is still visible to this day. Only when the percentage of the total population drops below 5% to the historic Viking populations overlap. To this day on the east coast of Ireland the distinct genetic footprint of the Viking era remains.

  47. I am Irish and from the Northern Ireland border area (Monaghan). in my honest opinion and based on my honest experience, the real and single root cause to the division of the 2 traditions in ireland and the big sticking point is the british monarchy. now things have certainly festered and complicated over the years, but i would put it as the real and single source of the divide. - many calm headed unionists could be persuaded into a united irish state with an all-ireland parliament + all-ireland government (in their eyes, effectively an extension of what stormont in belfast is). - but losing the british monarchy as their head of state would be very hard for unionists to accept. it is everything that they stand for. - that is the real love, affection and loyalty which unionists have. its not to westminster. its to the british crown. take the orange order and similar institutions. their reason for existence and loyalty is to the british crown. the ulster plantation, the battle of the boyne, the formation of the orange order, it all happened before ireland was part of the uk, but under the british crown. - remember also, an independent scotland would likely still have the british monarch as its head of state. - but ofcourse in reverse, nationalist ireland would really struggle to have an involvement from the british monarchy and would want an all-ireland irish president. thats the real conundrum. remember the british monarchy is an exclusively protestant institution with the british monarch being the head of the church of ireland. still today, if a catholic or any other member of a christian church or other religion were to marry into the british monarchy, they would need to leave their church or religion and join the anglican church. (not just the anglican church, but the church of england). the reason i am saying all this is, if there is a real seriousness to reunite the island, the real reason for there to have been division in the first place, needs to be fully understood. regarding an all-ireland flag / coat-of-arms / anthem, with time, these can be agreed on. there is the harp, shamrock, arms of the 4 provinces and much older irish tunes which can be re-discovered to unite all irish people and from all traditions.

  48. I'm from Donegal lad. I second this. The symbolism of the british crown is a powerful one.

  49. William Wallace had the misfortune to come against the one King of England (Edward native tongue was Norman French, not English) with real military ability and an ambition to deal with the Celts (including Wales). While Bruce had the good fortune to fight Edward's incompetent son.)
