I live about 20 miles away from where this is. I could've told them that 40 years ago!! Very spooky if you venture up at night. It's a vitrified fort. The stones have been heated to such a heat that they've turned glass like. Lots of Pictish stones up this area.

Great video. I had my DNA done and I'm 70% Scottish Celtic and 30% Irish, nice to see where my ancestors could of possibly come from
-
You missed the coolest part! The wall on the western side is completely melted and fused in places, and much of the rocks throughout are now glass - although they were first made of sandstone which would never naturally do that. This affects forts all over Scotland, and very few anywhere else.

I love Scotland, and visiting is on my to-do list. Amazing country, and so much history. Greetings from France.
-
Go Picts! I wish we knew more about them, their language and writings, their art and architecture, their music, stories, and history.

Disgustingly the large fort in oswestry Shropshire the local council want to build a housing estate on it,local residents are so strongly trying to stop this ,anyone that knows how to help please let it be known to the advertizer news paper
-
Its hard to believe that no one has discovered this till 2020. It's huge and looks like a fort. Weird.
-
Fascinating! Love history of when Rome pulled out. It's such a murky time,mysterious!
-
Woa, your brother is the voices of the past guy? What an amazing family!
-
''Scotichronicon'' is the most important History book for Scottish people to read.
-
I saw this in various archaeological journals I follow. Somehow, I heard every story in a curious accent of wonder and joy. And now I know why.
-
I’d love to hear about the Pictish language and the attempts to decipher it
-
You and your brother are the GOAT, seriously your guys content is by far my favorite, voices of the past is such an awesome concept for a channel. You guys and Fall of Civilizations Podcast are my jam
-
I absolutely love that Burghead computer game reproduction at 2:14!
-
It would be unbelievable to camp there. I can only imagine the feeling of the presence of history there.
-
I've climbed Tap O' Noth a couple of times and always knew it was a significant fort of some kind. The eastern flanks of the Cairngorm mountains are littered with other hilltop forts but this is one of the biggest and very possibly the site of the infamous Battle of Graupius Mons. We'll be hearing a lot more about this area in the years to come. Pete, you need to brush up on your pronunciation of Scottish place names ;)

It's fascinating to compare areas uder Roman Empire and out of Roman Empire. For example our Celtic Czech state, later called Great Moravia Samo's Empire, Kingdom of Bohemie. E.g. Prague Castle was found in 886 A.D.
-
I hope they find more ogham inscriptions, so that they may decipher and better understand what language the Picts spoke

YouTube and the bloody ad’s how I so miss the old YouTube.
