Thank you for the historical presentation of the Broch and I learnt alot. I lived there in the 1960s as a small boy having arrived there from Canada. I spent much of my time enjoying the freedom of exploring wonderful harbour, so I enoyed looking at the picture of the harbour. I lived there at time of the herring trawlers and I loved talking to the fisherman who were so friendly and kind to me giving me free fish. I used to keep an eye out for certain trawlers like the Tea Rose because the owner lived near us. Also your presentation shows a great view of the beach which I loved to explore and walk all the way to St Coombes.
I can't resist anything 'history', so my adventures on TH-cam take me all over the place. today it's the northernmost part of Scotland. Love that Scots accent. I have no smidgeon of Scots in me as far as I know, some Irish tho, but you know the people of this part of the world had to be tough as nails to survive, so much respect always to the Scots story !
'At wis affa fine, min. I left the Broch in 1984 and eventually became a Brocher in Govan. I've left a sub and look forward to seeing more of your videos.
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.
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?
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?
Lies the majority of North Eastern Scots have pictish blood markers and almost zero Scandinavian I'm sure because I am born and bred and still stay in Aberdeenshire.
The deer herders were Pictish that's why there's two villages old deer and new deer and there's a famous book called the book of deer lol stop your lies and nonsense home of the CE cruthnie Dunicairn and Dunnottar were the capitals and we fought the Romans at Mons Graupius or bennachie we kicked the viking out at Cruden bay ie death of dane bay 5hey never came back to North Eastern Scotland look it up it's recorded lol
@@StuartAnderson-xl4bo a smart person keeps their mind open, rather than attacking something they dont like! If you think the Picts named their towns new or old deer then you really believe that they spoke English?!?! Why does so much Finnish DNA appear in Northern Scotland?
