I just discovered the thoughts of Neil Oliver. What a wonderful individual. If only our leaders would allow him to advise in world affairs. Hope would be back on the table

Your so-called "rambling" story of the little girl in red on the plane was so profound and a beautiful tribute to her and the loss of her. It made me emotional and know many of us who's heard you, remember, and honor her now as well.

Neil has a profound inner sense about the world past & present

I was born in Musselburgh Scotland. It warms my heart that Neil Oliver is an amazing person and he cares and understands so much x

Neil Oliver love your work

He’s so very smart but so very humble. Love him so much. Please make a lot more stories as we live for them

I'd like to listen to Neil Oliver talk about everything.

Neil Oliver is a man of integrity so rare nowadays. Thank you for being ❤️🇭🇷

Just subbed. Neil Oliver is such a great fella, a truly modest and humble historian. YES, he is modest and humble to say he is not a historian, but he's far more knowledgeable than many high profile Historians, including some TV Historians with Masters Degrees etc. Big Up Neil Oliver! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😊😊

Just in awe of how Neil's mind works, he's so fascinating. ❤

Awesome, I love hearing what Neil has to say, so interesting, informed and intelligent 💚💙xx

At around 40 minutes, Neil says that it was assumed that the husband and wife slept in separate beds in the Skara Brae houses. Isn't it more likely that the husband and wife slept in the big bed and the children slept in the small bed? I scratch my head at why historians don't apply attachment biology in their perceptions of the past, except as a sign of how disconnected we all are in the present. Neil touches on this more when he discusses life and death. I especially appreciate the discussion about forgetting. If I could bring back a piece of material history, I would bring back a piece of pottery, perhaps a cup. Thank you Peter for this interview, as I once made a great study of the early dolmens and henges of the British Isles, and how fascinating it is that they spread all through western Europe and yet we know so little about their purposes. This one interview has peaked my interest again in learning about Skara brae and beyond. Cheers.

Neil has such a way with verbal 'imagery ', a true inspirational person.

That is a fascinating program. Neil spoke about some of things I've pondered, the origin of the ancient Orkney population and its possible influence of Orkney on the rest of the British Isles, the pattern that civilizations go through and the lure of history.

The great Neil Oliver, the British Isles wouldn't be so wonderful without your passion and input sir. Thankyou 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I just stumbled upon this interview and it was very enjoyable. I have a lot of time for Neil Oliver as we share a similar interest. I'm not academic either but have devoted a lot time to my interest in local history and archaeology, writing a few books on it over the years. I understand completely what he means about places speaking to you from the past. Some places are so eerie in their tranquility and absence of lives that were once there. As for objects from the past, I have a 200-year-old pewter tankard that once hung in an inn in my town and on special occasions I drink out of it. I often wonder who the first person was to do that.

I wish Neil had been my teacher I absolutely am in awe of his knowledge and wisdom God Bless you both the good times are coming for humanity

I work from home and have two kids at home right now. The noise of it all and the at-times chaos of life I find to be exhilarating. Love your videos, Neil.

I remember watching coverage of the memorial that people made after the Lockerbie disaster, and the camera lingered on that note to the little girl. I have never forgotten it, either.

Beautiful message ❤️
