    Thanks for the interesting history of the ancients of Scotland ( as we call it now). My theory is that it’s to do with the astrological symbols that relate to certain periods/ happenings in their history and that are very symbolic to the local culture in their particular era. Just thinking that so many cultures across the world have similar symbolism in their art/carvings/pictograms which may be a bit of a hint! Thanks again. It’s good to get a clear and interesting explanation about the carved stones in my native country.

    I have precious little knowledge, but can't help thinking of the many options for these signs. I'm thinking the double disk is this world and the next, the z rod indicating how the deceased died/the journey between the worlds broken up. I also feel the mirror is not a mirror, not gender biased and maybe a see through piece glass. The comb could be a symbol in itself of sorting out/raking through - so many options! Isn't it odd how your instinct can play tricks on you? Fascinating stuff either which way.

    This is the best video on the Clearances that I have seen. The history and outcomes effected so many families. However, the true wealth of the Scottish people is their love of family, the land they worked, and their country’s struggle to survive with the spirit of their ancestors. Thanks for sharing.

It sparked my light research into the Viking stones and the Dunnard castle king foot stone as well as the seven brothers fish wolf boar ….symbols. Very curious about historical movements of cultures.

    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.

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.

    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 !

  • @tomjones7593

    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.
