Every time I see a video of yours I become genuinely excited. I know I am about to see something I have never seen before and I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work 😊
The relationship between you and your dad is hilarious. Deep love, but a whole lot of roasting and piss taking, lol. You make a grumpy, but great team, another cracking video Pete, well done! You're roaming around where my ancestors came from, so it's wonderful to learn more about that area and the rich history of it.
I love the raw Not polished, History facts speculations and Comments. There was also a space 4 polished performance,But the real raw Aspect of your true knowledge is pure genius.. Thank you so much for producing this.
Gorgeous landscape and as always very interesting history, Enjoy your channels alot & learning of some of my northland ancestors I Been away for a few centuries in the new world, yearning to come back and visit one of these lifetimes. keep up the great work, Craig Harald, Death Valley California
“Peter, “ (pointing vaguely to the left) “ I think we were over there yesterday…” I love your dad, what a sweetheart. These little films of your travels make me feel the world hasn’t gone insane, and for what it’s worth, on rambles my family has taken in parts of Ontario, there are petroglyphs too, we stumbled on them one summer (can’t always be in the canoe or swimming) - when you explained the Pictish glyphs to your dad it just made me feel like the world is not so big, is it?!
Food for thought for your future trips. Any type of carving is best revealed with a dark surrounding and a strong sharply angled light source to create contrast. You can either achieve that by going at night with a flashlight, or by bringing a large piece of light-blocking cloth and using a flashlight underneath it. It's certainly not always easy to achieve, but in the case shown in this video for example, the carvings were covered with a cage, which would have made using a large tarp and a light relatively easy. Just spread he tarp over the cage and light the carvings from the side. You can also play with the light and move it to reveal all the finer details. 🙂
The microphone did have a wind cover. Didn't seem to do much unfortunately. This was a few years ago. Hopefully I have it nailed now with new equipment and techniques learned. Working on many new higher quality videos
Wow. Thanks for this video! Been past there many many times but not realised Trustys Hill is right there. Next time I go back home to Dunragit (I work away) I'll have to go for a day trip. Least now I know how to get there and how to locate the pictish stone, with the grate on it. BTW I have a suspicion that the serpent looking figure may well be a 'dragon banner'. Like those carried by the late Sarmatian/late Roman cavalry. I know the abandoned bridge in the end caption as well. Nice to see someone appreciating it.
It’s a sea monster pieced by a sword I suggest Drustan killing Cunomorus, hound of the sea (Mark of Cornwall) Trusty’s hill is the heart of Arthurian Legend Tristan and Isolde
Hi Pete , you don’t know me I’m just a random subscriber . But I’m following in your footsteps and visiting Gatehouse of Fleet and Trusty’s hill next week for three days . Hopefully I’ll have luck and not get lost
I remember having read a short novel, written about 1984. It deals with the people who came after Urien. But... Reghed is in this story altered into Cumbria, with it's capital Carlyle. King of Northumbria is Oswald, who became sanctified and is followed by his younger brother Oswy. Cumbria is reigned by an old man who came to the throne to keep it safe for his nephew, who's father died an untimely death. Alas I cannot remember the name of this young princeling, nor of his elderly uncle who became bishop. But the younger sister of our prince, the heroin of this book, is called Riemmelth. And her hand is given in marriage to... no other then Oswy! Both kingdoms share the same christian faith and together they're a strong force, for instance against the still heathen Mercia, reigned by the mighty Penda. Penda, Oswald and Oswy are real historical persons as well as their kindoms. Cumbria and its royal family, Uriens offspring though are fictional. But the story was written with so much knowledge of the period, with so much love for the period and its characters, fictional and real, I will forever cherish it. The woman who wrote it was Katherine Herbert. She was (is?) an historian and novellist. Too bad that Reghed/Cumbria already ceased to exist before this story began (around the year 625). Riemelth though... she's someone who, just like Uthred (The Last Kingdom) is somewhat of an historic figure, but not as represented in fiction. Ahh, those days, when the Seven Anglo Saxon Kindoms were young... If I remember well this novel was titled The Age of Heroes. LATER ON Ifound this: This "fictional" Cumbrian royal family? Is the real excisting family of Rheged, Urien's descendants! The older uncle of the story is Rhun ap Urien. What a bit of juggling with facts and distances can do for a story!!! Amazing!
We can run a line from the beehive huts on on the island of Kerry that runs through a large number of early prehistoric sites and along this line almost every site has an association with the arc angel Michael. this line stop's in the Great pyramid in Egypt. Sorry for bad writing, great docs.
There are 100 vitrified forts across Europe it is highly unlikely the northumbrians ,burnt the 50 that has been found in Scotland , nobody at that time had the capability ,most of whom were in the pictish areas and dalriata.
Pete, many commentators seem to be repeating the same trope they read somewhere else, in this case, that the Trusty’s Hill fort/citadel (and Mark of Mote) was part of the Kingdom of Rheged (most hinting as it as “Capital”), though some write of Alt Clud- definitely two powerful local Kingdoms of the time- and that it was probably destroyed by Angles from the Kingdom of Northumbria (united in 654) or their predecessors Bernicia and Deira. Almost no one considers the chaos and regionalism that led to “kingdoms” in the 5th and 6th Cs that were as small as a single town’s immediate hinterland or a single valley, and frequently at war with one another. I point in particular to two which rarely make the headlines but MUST be considered as inhabitants of Trusty’s Hill: the Kingdoms of Galwyddel, whose timing and centre must point straight to this place, and Ynys Manaw, who may have been either a kinly allied kingdom or perhaps overlords of Galwyddel. Rheged may well have taken the area afterwards (as pointed to Dunragit- aka Dun Rheged), and while a 7thC destruction may point to Northumbrian deeds, it may well have been British-on-British warfare that led to the destruction of sites like this, for example a Rheged takeover of Galwyddel or defeat of Ynys Manaw by Rheged. Also remember that at the battle of Heavenfield in 633/634 King Oswald of Northumbria defeated Cadwallan of Gwynedd with a northern army made up with many from the area, and whoever inhabited Trusty’s Hill was quite possibly dragged into the Wars-of-the-Roses-like internecine struggles between Bernician and Deiran lines for the throne of Northumbria. The link between Picts and Galwyddel is yet to be proved or unproved.
Yeah good thinking for the future. I just wanted the video done as I was tinkering with it on and off for 3 years. Much better quality stuff on the way.
So the most likely candidate for Arthur is the Great King Urien in your opinion then? Are there any other Documentaries on TH-cam I can view related to Urien, the King of Rheged and his ties to the Legend? Thank you again for this Work you put in. I know that we " Don't Know " but there is evidence though that suggest this the Capital of a GREAT KING and his domain correct? This from my studies has to be Camalot and the Myth which it is based on.
No David not exactly, Arthur was a Pentalau ( the Head warrior ) he wasn't a king as such , more a protector of his Realm which was Gwynedd north wales . It states in the stanzas of the graves ( the Welsh annuls) that his final battle was against his own nephew in a place called Camlaan ( camelot) ....which is actually a mountain pass in Gwynedd on the A470 between Dolgellau and Dinas mawddwy , it's really a natural fortress like a hidden valley...I've been once and I'm itching to return ..its so remote 👍
Superb work. Our history is so important to document especially in these times…. Our nations are being invaded, attempting to replace us, erase / rewrite history, demoralize European people etc. Keep it up brother! O7 14
🤦🏻♂️ 1. History always has, is, and should be challenged and rewritten. There is no definitive truth. 2. The premise of most of Pete’s videos is conquest and human transience - the very thing you complain about is exactly what makes these videos so interesting - ironic right?
Why do you keep showing a map saying Rheged was in Northumberland, England. If you are trying to prove it was at Gatehouse of Fleet? Confused as I know the area.
Love your work but the background noise from the wind is not only distracting but maddening. I had to force myself not to turn it off. I know you may not have much control but it's a pity to have that immense distraction from the overall vidéo which would otherwise be extremely enjoyable! Sorry!
When your dad scolded you for not bringing a map, I laughed pretty hard. My dad would have done the same.
Every time I see a video of yours I become genuinely excited. I know I am about to see something I have never seen before and I absolutely love it.
Keep up the good work 😊

Loved your dads additions! Lost my dad a few years ago, but I can imagine going on a trip with him just like this. God bless.
Quality time with Dad, got to love it. Cheers from Canada

More vids incoming !
Outstanding as always Pete. Amazing content and congrats on getting @historytime so close to 1000000 subs
A new Pete Kelly video, outstanding.
Thanks!
Fantastic video.
I have fond memories touring Galloway with my Dad in years gone past.
Thanks for taking us on wiht you!
This is fantastic work, thanks for your efforts, from north America
Thanks for watching

Pure enjoyment! Thanks!
Thanks Pete. Living Downunda, it's tough finding enough information about my Anglo ancestors from that area of Britain.
Scots aren't anglo saxons.
I love your videos. Thank you so much 😍😍😍
Thanks for watching !

Going on a nice hike AND learning some things. Doubling up on the good life.
Best things in life

Nice idea for the future. Thanks! sounds like a good technique.
There are so many lost or hidden forts and dwellings invthe UK. Searching for them is part of the fun!
Your dad is so cool tbh
He's a legend
Pete, your father knows best. BRING A MAP! Hehehe...
"I wonder if the BBC have this problem sometimes" - OMG your dad cracks me up.
I didn't realize Pictish carvings were found in SW Galloway
Yep. Very interesting. Why they are there is a subject of debate.
In Scottish borders too!
@@HistoryTime I would like to enter that debate
Are there ticks in Scotland? Watching you guys go through grass in shorts makes me nervous. New York has to think about ticks with Lyme
yeah Scotland has ticks
Not very common and an occassional problem for sheep flocks. I have lived with sheep for 35 years
@@naradaian common enough for the scottish governemt to put up warning signs in areas with deer and bracken etc.
Midges yes. Legions of them. I've never encountered ticks in decades of roaming around the wilds in shorts.
My last walk with my father was up to Trusty’s Hill
But I would love to share what I believe is the missing the history of Trusty’s Hill
@PeteKelly a small fur sock/adhesive cover over the microphone will likely cure any wind noises.
Thanks!

Hope you checked your legs for ticks or had spray on.
No shorts for me, long trousers every time.
It's mandatory to wear shorts in September. Family dress code. We get a couple of months off in December and January

Perhaps a compass might have helped?

The vitrification may be from a magnetic pole shift? They say plasmic lightening happens. These vitrified sites are all over the world.
