Does anyone on here stay up late and watch that program where this irishman or scotsman goes wandering all over the mountains and  valleys around Scotland giving a history lesson.  Apparently the picts did not die out during the time that everyone think that they did. There have found proof that they survived longer than at first thought, possibly another 1,000 or so years.
Cannot remember the guys name, but if im awake enough I find it all very interesting.

Marcie, do you mean the Neil Oliver series?    History of Scotland?  It's on about it's 3rd repeat showing and still enjoyable, but sometimes it can also be frustrating.

I realise nobody can encapsulate the huge subject into tiddly half hour programmes without missing huge huge chunks, but sometimes the quick summary and jump over 50 odd years has me really cross!  Thank goodness for history books, hope even in this electronic age they never go out of fashion..   Scenery is wonderful though (and that includes Neil Oliver)

 Maggie,
would totally agree.  Mmm! worth watching.  Originally I thought that they were going to follow on, then realised that they did not quite.

Hello Glasvaar,

Do you live at Glasvaar? I ask because I am an Argyll native who immigrated to Canada in 1967, but I recognize that place name as a farm where my MACVICAR relatives were at one time.
