They simply relocated to Glasgow. There they divided themselves into two rival factions, Rangers and Celtic.
-
Yep, that totally explained what happened to the Picts.
-
You never seemed to answer the question of what happened to them
-
One of the universities in Scotland was researching Pictish DNA. They certainly never went away but assimilated with Celtic groups so they are still here.
-
Give us enough alcohol and the Pict in us comes out.....

The Romans built a wall to keep the Picts out of the south. The Picts built ladders.
-
they intermarried with the Scots - traditionally picts would take the female last name where the scots carried on the male last name, the picts fought the scots and Norse raiders, in the long term the scots and picts became indistinguishable through intermarriage - the picts essentially are still here today through dna - they didn't disappear or die out - they simply were bred into with the Scots

I once asked for a pint of lager and lime in a Scottish pub and the barman said: We don't do cocktails.

I’ll just explain it for people hoping to get an answer. In about the 9th century AD, after being terrorized by Vikings from all sides, the Picts (in the east) and Scots (in the west) who had been exchanging culture and kings for centuries, formed the Kingdom of Alba which later turned into Scotland after it incorporated the Britons of Strathclyde and the Angles of Lothian as well. There we go. Not that hard, is it?

The picts haven't gone. I am a Scottish highland traveller and in the name of lindsay, there is caves where my family stayed out on covesea Lossiemouth and to this day as a Scottish traveller the story's and difference is still the same. We blend in to make a living among the country people as we can no longer stand out in modern culture but we still know where we come from and prowd to be the true highland travellers from pictland 👍

Hardly ever talked about is that the name Briton and Pict are one and the same thing. Britain literally translates to Painted Land in proto-Welsh whereby Picti is Painted People in Latin. It seems evident from this linguistic split that the native Britons under Roman rule had ceased altogether the practice of body painting and tattooing.
-
The Picts were more of a loose ethnic confederacy of different kingdoms and tribes, not just one collective tribe.
-
Even Romans didn't want a square go
-
They never vanished. \they intermarried with the gaels.
-
Love your videos! Keep the great work up!
-
I'm guessing the picts joined other tribes after the war with the romans. Our blood is still strong.
-
Such a wonderful country with along and sometimes violent history.Can not see the sense of this video as it told us nothing....Scotland The Brave....👍👍🦄

Scotland has a temperate oceanic climate and compared to the likes of Canada, Norway and Sweden isn't really that cold at all....it's actually pretty mild and in summer very pleasant
