    Hoping to visit a bit of Orkney one day, the beaches and archaeological sites look amazing. Love from Canada!

    This was a very interesting video. I can trace my ancestors (Muir & Pirie) back to the Orkney's so I do enjoy seeing what life was like living there. Thank you for sharing. LG Canada.

      Prof. Vicki Cummings, Prof. Jane Downes or the presenter Prof. Alice Roberts?

    Where did they come from and why so far north?

      Who knows! But I am beginning to look at Hebrew people coming out of the Mediterranean by boat.
      As a field archaeologist (excavator) of many decades of experience, I am interested in this concept.

      They are Pictish people like the people in Aberdeenshire mainland Scotland. Ancient British Celts to keep it simple.

    Ok. I'm being silly but I love redheads. And here's 2!
    Unfortunately this video is too short.
    Extremely interesting though.

      Om Skottland blir självständiga så kanske Orkney röstar för att bli en del av Norge igen :-)

    Must have been much warmer in those days....wonder if their leaders consulted a half-mad schoolgirl as to where and what they could do - the CO2 levels must have been dangerously high.

      Derhhhh you div......the time they were talking about was only a couple of thousand years after the last ice age .....the reason the archaeological team were have to make the dig in haste is due to the scientifically proven man made global warming...over 90%of scientists world wide agree on that fact !

      @@bigglesbiggles4999 Did you ask all of the 90%+ scientists or did you pluck that 'statistic' out of a magazine? Remember, the more times a lie is repeated the more often it is believed and then becomes a "fact". I, for one, don't believe in much of the hype surrounding this topic.....it's a great and lucrative bandwagon for shysters and charlatans.
