She's not having any of it that those old fence posts weren't used in the battle !

Neil Oliver ❤

This is what a TV program about archaeology should be like. It's a pity Neil Oliver has gone doolally tap. He should be producing more stuff like this.

Wonderful video👏

Thank you

I miss Neil Oliver talking about archeology

I love how the deciding factor of the battle was ultimately the land of Scotland itself

But wallice wouldn’t shut up has to be the funniest line ever

edward found out the hard way that the Scotts are some tough bastards

Thank you for sharing this.

28:21...but you have to ask the question no one is asking "Wallace's hatred for the english" but what would drive a man to such hatred and brutality....what was done to him and his country for him to act in such a violent way ?

00:35:02 Ten thousand Scots didn`t die, it was 2000, same number as the English who died.

Whatever possessed Mel Gibson to completely gloss over this incredible victory in favour of his "Big pointy stick" version is one of the great mysteries of Movie making.

The Clan system was far being a Democracy. It was a strict feudal system with the chief holding the power of life and death over clan members. Certain positions of privilege gave some people more advantage than others. The lowest fared poorly, barely scraping a living and all were basically rent to their overlord to be used at his whim. As can be seen during the Highland clearances, the loyalty of the Clans was a one way street. The chiefs and lairds preferred profits over duty to their subjects and were quick to kick them off the land they had defended for centuries, in favour of sheep . If the Duke of Cumberland did anything worthwhile ,it was the destruction of the Clan system !

I find it incredible that the uk cares so little for its history that no archeology has been done in so many of these places ,its a disgrace

The Germans attacked France with 141 Divisions, 3.3 million men, over 10,000 guns and only 2,500 planes, they attacked Russia with the same kind of numbers and way more planes. Why would anyone think they could invade Britain with only 90,000 men? To quote Private Fraser, they would have been doomed! Their only chance was to destroy the Royal Navy and the RAF (fat chance) and somehow get 2 million men and 5,000 tanks across the channel.

The Home Guard was a whole lot more than old blokes with kitchen knives on broomsticks. What an amazing story!

Wow. That intro. I'm only 15 seconds in to this video and I'm already a fan.

Great! Thanks. When I was 8, some 66 yrs ago, I lived at the forge in Radway. Needless to say, it was haunted by a cavalier.

13:23 ..Skull and Bones. Lanark was a Templar place.

..and.what were knights,, TEMPLARS

We will be independent,it will happen,we carry on,where others had started.

One recently discovered record reveals that before he began his rebellion, Wallace got together with an English soldier and they helped each other steal a keg of beer from a woman's house, which is quite funny 😁

That was a very sad day a Stretford end hero does that to his beloved United sad sad day you could see it in everybody's faces

Saw him at Arsenal 63, and 64 in a photo I have photo of Law with his arm held high after scoring and I myself are in the photo just behind him at the old Highbury clock end

i love the King MUFC

The mixing on this video is off, such that the music is much louder than that words...

If he was unable to play due to injury Utd left it as late as possible to announce it because it took thousands of the gate !!

Holy Sheit! The Time Team is Timeless!

It's such a shame we can't defend our borders as well today.

I disagree surely the invasion barges would be escorted by battle ships with air cover, further more the channel would have been blocked with u boats,you never mention the fact there are thousands of paratroopers droped behind British lines therefore sandwiching British troops the battleships would have taken out a lot of coastal defences, I'm pretty sure the Germans would have overwhelmed the defenders

this battle and area are of much interest, the village of Ratley most so for me.

his memory is phenomnal here, so sad that he is now suffering

Attention! Mr. Bannockburn, aka “2001 perseus” could you please email me? Thank you.

if the germans had invaded the home guard would have been slaughtered the germans beat everyone they fought they were man for man the best soldiers in WW, I may not like them but i do respect their fighting abilities.

It's a shame Neil went David Icke and now sits in a cupboard with a tin foil hat on

Love the nostalgia of the beautiful game, England invented the game but we honed it into the passing game we have now , even exporting it to South America via Scottish dock workers ❤

England & Scotland Are Not Supposed To Be Enemy’s Today England & Scotland Are Not Enemy’s Anymore. In 1707 The Act Of Union We Signed On The Treaty. England/Scotland & Wales Become One Country To Be British. Know As Great Britain 🇬🇧

Brilliant programme would love to go there.

Lovely even if only out of one speaker

Best Law and Charlton. What a trio.

Jim Baxter was a class act but I can't watch this because the narrator Chick Young waffles on and I hate his voice.

The Campbell Clan, protestants and sided with King Billy of. Orange! King Billy was a Hanoverian, not born in Britain.

Overall poorly done. Perpetuates many myths and misconceptions that arose at the time it was made that have since been discredited with the release of documents that were still classified at the time. I.e., the number of paratroopers that drowned was very low. The flooded areas were only knee deep in most areas. This is a pretty inaccurate breakdown of events and battle formations and the analysis from Sandhurst "finest" is laughable.

Section at 28:25 is totally incorrect. The Tiger tanks were not superior, in spite of firepower. The were prone to breakdown. The 88mm was also not the most powerful anti-tank gun. The Sherman Firefly variants of the Sherman tank carried a 17 pounder British anti-tank gun that had greater range, greater penetration and greater muzzle velocity than the German 88mm. The British and Canadian units had over 1k of these tanks, usually deployed with 1 firefly and 2 unmodified Shermans per group. The Allies, therefore, did have tanks that were very capable against the German tanks. Also, the number of Tigers on the Western Front was always very low. About 90% of all Tigers made were deployed against the USSR on the Eastern Front.

He hated England and The English, he had to go for a walk while England were winning the world cup in 66 cause he couldn't stand it

Genuine top striker in any era,ahead of his time.

Jim Baxter The Genius. The Best. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Captain Rodriguez ....

Highlanders and democracy on the same line is an oxymoron. The highlanders lived just as medieval lords. Straight ou of th dark ages. The Lord was master and God.
