I'm hoping to get 'the rest of the story' sometime.

Nah... when I think of Scotland, I think of 'Still Game' 😂

Very decent video, well presented and accurate following the gentleman above’s addition , great job just subscribed 👍

reasonable account of the battle but one error. William did not lead the crossing at Rosnaree, it was the son of the Duke of Schomburg who led this. When finally brushing aside the holding Jacobite force he found his troops stuck on the wrong side of a steep and boggy valley facing the experienced French troops, which had been diverted to to face what James had thought was the main Williamite attack, and they then spent the rest of the battle just looking at each other.

For a channel about Celtic History, I'm puzzled to why there was no talk about their presence in Iberia such as the Hispano Celts.

Connor MacGregors Great great great Father???

Were Celts a people as such? Celt is a Greek word that all known peoples north of the Alps were labelled with. But, interesting little vid all the same. I didnt know that about the Oak King...😁

da heck

Mary House of Stuart then her son James becomes King of Scotland and England and parts of France ❤

This was the 2nd invasion of Ireland by the Scots the 1st invasion of todays Ireland was the Picts from Caledonia (todays Scotland) they invaded upto the 3rd century they left some stragglers these guys becomes the Scotii (Scots) ❤

Halloween bonfires are recorded in Scotland (either side of the Highland Line), parts of Wales, and the Isle of Man. They have not been noted in the 'Celtic' areas of England - Cornwall and Cumbria. And surprisingly they are not an historical tradition in Ireland - the 19th century folklore collections make no mention of them. However, there are two areas where bonefires do occur in Ireland and they are in the Protestant North (in areas of Scottish settlement) and in Dublin (but only from the mid-20th century). Both clearly having modern origins. So, there was clearly no single 'Celtic' Halloween / Samhain fire tradition.

If the the purpose of adopting the 1st November as the Feast of All Saints in 835 was to co-opt the Celtic festival of Samhain why was it that prior to that date the Irish Church celebrated All Saints Day on 20th April? Clearly the Irish church felt no threat from Samhain - Ireland having been Christian for several centuries. And by 835 any thoughts of Samhain being a religious festival would have been long gone - all that remained would be folk customs and superstitions. And the 1st November was first adopted by the English and German Churches in neither region of which was Samhain ever celebrated. So, they clearly had no ulterior motives in choosing that date - the dark November northern days simply suited the sombre nature of the festival rather than the bright days of May as practiced in Rome.

Are you saying Samhain is a Christian tradition and not a pagan one??

Good summary. The Irish Catholic Church adopted All Hallows Eve, where the Catholic representative chased off the devil. So turning a seasonal ritual into a Christian one to gain more followers. The Irish then brought Halloween to the US, it got commercialised... and the rest is history.

As a lawn officinado I am envious of the land in Ireland. The most beautiful plush green

Loved your content, but just so you know, the word "recant" used at about the 4 minute mark, should have been "recalled". Recant means to take back, as to recant a confession.

Great information!

VERY Interesting!!!

You should do one on Edward the Bruce, Bruce’s younger brother who went to form an alliance with the Irish Kings

We in Jamaica have our guising/ mumming. We call it Jankanu it's African in origin but seems every region in the world has their version. Jamaica has a huge Irish, Welsh and Scottish heritages. My family is predominantly African from Nigeria and Congolese mixed with Scottish and Welsh heritage.

We always have bonfires in the North of Ireland on 31st October too… it’s not so common in parts of the free state for some strange reason.

Guising instead of "geising" min. 6.35

My Aunt told us these stories. This is the first I've heard of it elsewhere.

Finally, a decent channel that talks about Irish legends - thanks :) the woman washing the bloody clothes is also a legend in Scotland, only she always wears a green dress - she is the washer and the Banshee combined. (Laith Wolf’s channel) 🧝🏼‍♀️😮
