@GaulishThe35998 @amazingmap That can't be right, the map cites the source as a 2011 census.
And besides if the map was counting duolingo users I'd imagine there'd be a larger amount of "speakers" of celtic languages in scotland.

@ManauMiniatures @amazingmap The map is innacurate. It counts everyone who learns Welsh on Duolingo, not the ones who speak it everyday.

Another #Pictish WIP, something a little different though.
No points for guessing who this man is.

1/x This is just nonsense. Firstly, the English are a mix of Brythonic and Saxon, as well as other groups. The “Celtic” element in the English has been shown over and over again in genetic studies.

The majority of the English are of Saxon heritage. The Welsh are part of the Celts alongside the Irish & Scots & were the original Britons. Anti-Welsh/Scotish/Irish bigots/British nationalists who A) complain about foreigners & B) call the Welsh/Gaelic language pointless.. (2/3)

@gerrycan1 @murrayJamescoo1 @Cocopop67119882 Just proclaim yourself the King of Fife, last time I checked the position's vacant and I'm sure you'd only face minor resistance.
English
@murrayJamescoo1 @Cocopop67119882 That makes sense, and also destroys my aspirations of becoming King of Scotland by way of fitting my foot into the "magic" footprint right by it.
Ah well....

I wish people would celebrate our actual past which is amazing rather than this made up nonsense.

The carved face at Dunino Den, Scotland, is a mysterious ancient symbol etched into a rock at this atmospheric site. Surrounded by lush woods, Dunino Den is steeped in history, featuring a sacred well, Pictish markings, and remnants of ancient worship, making it a fascinating

@Kengetskeltikos @dukdook89 @MLarsons94743 @nonregemesse What? The Picts were thoroughly Christian way before the time of Cinaed Mac Alpin, in fact chances are the Anglo-Saxons still had pagan kings while christianity became prominent in Pictavia.
English
@dukdook89 @MLarsons94743 @nonregemesse And who says Scotland gets a "duality of identity"? In my book, there are Celts, and there is nothing else. "Scotland"...this is just some Christian shit, created by Kenneth MacAlpin, a Christian crusader against the Last Pagan Celts, the Picts. "Scotland" is a Roman name also.
English
This is fake history.
All English people have ancient British ancestry.
It’s a Welsh delusion that they and Scots alone retain ancestry from the ancient Britons.

@TimothyEveland Sure it might be symbolism, but I guarantee at some point in our long history 4 guys have looked at this and thought to recreate it.

Le casque de North Bersted reste l’un des plus impressionnants casques celtiques découverts en Grande bretagne. Daté du Ier siècle avant notre ère, il témoigne du prestige des élites guerrières de l’âge du Fer, probablement d'origine continentale. L’association @CAtrebate en propose une réplique en bronze, réalisée par Franck Mathieu. #Gaulois #Archéologie #AgeDuFer #ContoutosAtrebate #ReconstitutionHistorique

@murrayJamescoo1 The most infuriating thing is that just searching up Dunino Den comes up with all sorts of claims of ancient ritual worship and whatnot, but ultimately no one sources anything to prove that it's existence dates back any further than a few decades at best.
English
@Scoot68638473 @murrayJamescoo1 @FortressLugh That is true, war history is popular in many forms, and that's all well and good but I would like to see more of the "living" part of history being represented.
Something to show the likes of the Caledones and the Maeatae did things other than wake up and fight romans.
English
@murrayJamescoo1 @FortressLugh Most artwork of periods such as this are of warfare, personally I'd blame wargamers for that but also for this early period there's never been that much popular interest in how people lived as opposed to how they killed eachother.

We now have proof of pre-Viking Age connections between Scotland and Scandinavia.
2 Pictish samples from the 5th century possess aprox. 25% Nordic admixture, distinct from that of Anglo-Saxons.
It is not believed this represents large scale settlement, but it is evidence for a direct connection between Scotland and Scandinavia, and this connection went both directions.
While it has long been known that British/Irish ancestry appeared in Scandinavia during the Viking period due largely to the taking of British and Irish slaves, a 2023 paper by Rodríguez-Varela et al. noted that some British ancestry may have begun to appear in Scandinavia as early as the 5th century.
This was followed by a 2025 paper by Speidel et al. which agreed that some ancestry seems to appear around the 5th century.
We appear to now have proof of a pre-Viking age connection between Northern Britain and Scandinavia. I believe this likely represents a similar dynamic as in the Viking period: limited settlement and the taking of slaves, only on a smaller scale than would occur a few hundred years later.

A preprint for a new large study by Silva et al titled "Genomic history and selection in Roman and early medieval Britain” uses new data with 1039 ancient samples and new methods to confirm what previous studies have found about our island history. Namely that the Romans didn’t affect us much but the Anglo-Saxons did. There are also some surprising findings in there... 🧵

@Michael57237631 @Tom_Rowsell @lovescotland7 It's rather difficult to find the actual history of the place as opposed to what tourist brochures want you to believe.
English
@Michael57237631 @Tom_Rowsell @lovescotland7 I'd guess earlier, maybe late 1800s when Celtic paganism was becoming fashionable again.
