Paiting their armour black for night raiding black mail, my ancestors were Forster, Robson, Grey, and Storey clans.

The groove in a sword blade is called a fuller and has nothing to do with blood or suction. It is simply there to lighten the sword blade while maintaining rigidity (somewhat like an H beam).

My family are the herons and Simpsons the herons were the bamburgh marches reivers where my family came from and at one point were the keepers of bamburgh castle and on the Smith side of my family my father was evacuated during the bombing in 1942 and lived in the castle for the duration of WW2.

I have to correct you. The so called blood groove isn't a thing. What you are describing is the fuller, which reduces the weight of a sword without compromising its strength. Edit. I've just seen the other comments about the blood groove and I didn't intend to engage in a pile on so just ignore my comment. Greetings from Derbyshire, England, from a member of Clan Fraser.

Clan Elliott here 'wha daur meddle wi me'

Armstrong... a good Northumbrian name. I'm a Robson and a Reiver, originally from Hexham - a Robson stronghold. I now live out in the "more rural than rural" Northumbrian wilds!

What did the Armstrong who raided the Moon get?

Poor old Ireland getting the scum of the earth dumped on it some things neber change

Beautiful!

Interesting video. I've been to Carlisle there's a list of riever families on the English side of the border. Very interesting history of the Scottish and English borders. It must have been a lawless and wild place.

IN OLD ENGLISH BOLLOCK MEANS A PAIR OF ROUND THINGS. NOT EXCLUSIVELY MENS BALLSACKS

Great video, I was wondering why you didn't have a Dirk? Just curious, thanks!

Beautiful highlights of the most majestic Elk!

Pish !!

Clan Douglas, here! Jamais arriere!

The border 'clan' tartans are phoney. A nineteenth century invention. I am not too judgmental of the border reivers, were the result of the economic and military consequences of Edward I, 1296 invasion. Particularly the sack and capture of the port of Berwick on Tweed, and the resultant loss of the Flanders' wool trade. In addition, the reivers were a cheep and effective way for the Scottish state to maintain an active militarized border. They were self funding, informal land privateers.

Loyal just to the familys..our familys were sent to ulster..the making of ulster scots..slaved to ireland by king edward the first..

Good video, exactly what I am looking for at the moment. Keep up the videos, they are Awesome

Very interesting-thanks. My dear old mother had cousins who farmed at Norham-right on the river Tweed and almost in the shadow of Norham castle which was the 'half-way line' so far as there was any clear division in the lawless Borders. Wish I'd asked more as a child. I think however that the 'Reiving times' were more after the fashion of Indian raids on white settlers in the US- descending in force, often at night, on isolated targets and carrying off whatever they could. I'm sure you know that the word 'bereaved' comes from the results of their murderous outings. Likewise, subsistence farmers in the North Tyne/ Rede valleys would leave out 'black meal' in the hope that the (usually Scots) reivers would take that as sufficient and carry on to raid elsewhere-hence 'blackmail'. I'd love someone to contrast the Scots 'tower houses' for defence with the English 'bastles'-poor men's castles- into which they went every night and pulled up the ladder against Scots raids. The door had a 'spout' above it to allow the occupants to pour water down when the reivers tried to burn their way in. Hard times.

very amazing videos especially the Scottish clan ones.

Had to stop watching this. Americans sure do talk some shite.

Yet another inference to the mythical "blood groove" it's a fuller, and is designed to make the sword lighter and stronger, has nothing to do with blood *sigh*

You need to read a peom" Wild wind of Lamamore, "my ancestors were reivers, although the Armstrongs were one of the answers the 4 major ones were Amstrong, Dodds, Elliott, Kennedy s, there were others, the reason I tell you this the Kennedys were prosecuted in thr CARLISLE Court and banished to Ireland for 30 years after which they could have come back to England. They chose to stay that's why American history is up sh1t creek.Some of my family were Dodds,, and the leader of the household a woman, if she came into kitchen and put a covered plater on the table, and lifted cover and IF under the plater there was no meat but the spurs for your riding boots, it was time to go Raiding, otherwise you HAD NA MEAT TA EAT! You are right but none could be trusted, and even brother fought brother,

My oldest son is finishing his last MB requirements (Cooking MB) 5 days before his 18th birthday. This song isn't a celebration of moms, but a warning TO us. 😁

“The Armstrong and the Elliotts ride thieves all”. Thanks for the video,come from a “riding family “in the Borders,with relatives in Pennsylvania. “There’s more than birds on the hill tonight,and more than winds on the plane.The threat of the Scott’s has filled the moss. There will be moonlight again “ Thanks again, HS86.

Yah bahd, mine were reivers, too; knighted border bastards lmfao Won't doxx myself but my name is directly related to some old myths and legends from reiver times and before.

I was able to be there in person for this event and I loved that song!

Invictus maneo.

This needs more traction. This is so unbelievably heartwarming and wholesome. Thank you Scott. Please be sure to pass forward thanks to your fellow brothers and sisters with you in the scouts.

To see girls and young women wearing the same uniform I did 20+ years ago, at such an important place, fills me with pride. I saw the despair in my sister's eyes when she wasn't allowed to go on all the adventures I did. Expanding the BSA to include women was one of the best things the organization has ever done. To live to see a girl wearing an OA Brotherhood sash, the same as mine. Makes me smile.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the younger scouts faces, we went down there when it was very hot and I feel like I’m still blind from the sun xD That is a very unique and special occasion, then scouts should be proud

Thank you for sharing.

😮😮😮

Beautiful

Last season was my first time ever putting in for an elk tag. But I will be for the rest of my life if I can until I'm drawn

Invictus Maneo 💪 Chester le street 💪

Great video, thanks for making it!

Congratulations. Great shooting with a great gun.

A beautiful tribute, Scott.

I am interested in that list of Borders Clans who were border Reivers I am both about equally a Forster and a McCulloch and I suspect both were involved. Also I am writing a Clan McCulloch history focusing on their North American history, but anything be fore the 1750s or so would be useful. A snippet from my research: Western author Zane Grey’s great great grandmother was a McCulloch.

Congratulations beautiful bull.

Congratulations, Fred!! Great bull! Great video! Hopefully, I get drawn for 2023!!

My god so blessed great job ..

Congratulations nice bull

Thanks for the video, well done.
