What They Never Tell You About the Picts

The Picts were a mysterious people who lived in what is now Scotland north of the Firth of Forth during the early medieval period. First appearing in Roman records in the 3rd century AD, they left behind striking carved stones, fortified settlements, and a legacy that has fascinated historians for centuries. Though much about them remains uncertain, the Picts played a central role in shaping the story of early Scotland. __________________________________________ 🎬 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction 4:54 - The Legend of Cruithne 10:18 - Settlements 10:56 - Dunnicaer 17:25 - Tap O Noth 19:56 - Language 25:54 - Burghead 30:03 - The Verturian Supremacy 33:08 - Art & Culture 38:43 - Religion 40:43 - Portmahomack 44:22 - Vikings & Gaelicisation __________________________________________ 🎵 Music Credits 👇 'Beautiful Oblivion' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Titan' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'I Walk With Ghosts' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Beyond These Walls' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Shadows and Dust' by Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'The Long Dark' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'The Distant Sun' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Hiraeth' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Filaments' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'Borealis' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au 'The Spaces Between' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au __________________________________________ 🔗 Equipment Used👇🏻 📍RØDE Wireless Go II Microphone https://amzn.to/4dqGo1O 📍RØDE NT-USB Professional Microphone https://amzn.to/4dyNLVg 📍Sony Alpha 7 III Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera with sony 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom lens https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B4R8QG... 📍DJI Mavic 3 Pro Drone https://amzn.to/4dnoFbG __________________________________________ 📚 Information Sources & Credits 👇 📌 King of The North - Gordon Noble 📌 Tarbet Pictish Discovery Centre 📌 The University of Aberdeen 📌 Gordon Noble - The Picts: Scourge of Rome, Rulers of the North 📌 Tim Clarkson - The Picts: A History 📌 Woolf, A.
