@tonyahancock95855 жыл бұрын
Yes, keep the Gaelic language alive. The other side of my ancestry is Cherokee and there has been a considerable effort in the last few decades to keep the language alive. It got to the point where only a few elders could still speak it fluently. Efforts were made to keep the language alive by teaching it in schools on the Reservation. It's coming back from the brink of being a dead language. Scotland needs to do the same with Gaelic as it is a beautiful language and it would be sad to lose it. So geyi, donvdagohvi (Goodbye, and until we meet again) from one of your half Tsalagi (Cherokee) followers.

I was frustrated, however, in trying to find decaf tea and coffee because I don’t do well with caffeine. 😳😉 Also, I know the correct term to call folks from Scotland is Scots. BUT my family is from the southern US, and my ancestors referred to themselves as “Scotch-Irish.” So that’s what I call them and myself.... and that should be okay. I’ve had Scottish people scold me that I shouldn’t use that term-“scotch”. I don’t argue with them, but I think to myself, “Lighten up, Francis”. I’ll refer to my ancestors they way they referred to themselves. Oh, and in the South, everything is dipped in batter and deep fried. Even the orange juice 😉

Glad you enjoyed our delicious food and if you ever come back I would recommend that you visit a supermarket and purchase some there, most restaurants who don’t offer decaf will happily supply you with hot water. 🏴

We have no right to comment on Scotland's deep fried Mars bars as we have been known to deep fry anything and everything.

I had many memorable meals, but the best one was at Menteith (Port Menteith, Lake Menteith) at a hotel on the edge of the lake. While everyone's food looked delicious, I had what is commonly called 'Tweed and Kettle'; a fish pie somewhat. It was superb fresh salmon with one or two vegetables topped with browned mashed potatoes (all in a delicious white cream sauce). I know, fish pie did NOT sound appetizing, but in all honesty, it was the most delicious meal I have ever experienced!!! OUTSTANDING. Also, the best places to eat that won't break the bank are the pubs. Thanks, Shaun. Lindsay, Sacramento, California.

It might bother you when you get to one of the later OUTLANDER books because Diana Gabaldon addresses the "Scotch" vs "Scots" thing and mentions in the notes at the back of the book that the two words were interchangeable through to the sixties I believe.

I don't think Scotch was widely used interchangeably with Scots or Scottish in Scotland in the Sixties, if it was used at all. I think it had fallen out of favour by that time.

I know it was used, even in Scotland in previous times.

Your complaint about Scottish money is not unfamiliar. Here in the States we have a circulating, legal tender, $2.00 bill. They have a picture of Thomas Jefferson on them. For whatever reason, they are very rare. You almost never see them and there are a lot of people who literally don't even know they exist. There are a number of stories floating around about cashiers who have refused to accept them. One time somebody even called the police on a customer trying to pay with one, and the police officer explained that, yes, that's legal money and no, it's not counterfeit. A number of your complaints could be shared by Southerners here, which is interesting since so many Southerners are of Scottish descent. Also, I was happy to hear you talk about Scottish contributions to science. Scotts have also made major contributions to philosophy and theology. You could easily do whole videos on Scottish contributions to the Western intellectual tradition. But, speaking of science specifically, as I mentioned in a comment to a different video, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the Sutherland Spaceport. In the meantime, keep up the good work, your stuff is always interesting.

So I really appreciate tips on how best not to make a complete a__ of myself, any more than I can naturally help it. So thank you most kindly. Also, I ate some lovely food while there. The Dalmore beef was tender and rich and the vegetables were particularly flavorful. They made US vegetables seem tasteless, strangely enough. A friend told me that some of that lovely produce was imported from elsewhere in Europe and that Brexit might affect availability. Is that true, does anyone know? I hope not.

I think the money thing ruffles everybody's feathers. I tried to purchase something with a roll of quarters and the clerk tried to tell me she wouldn't except it and we had a few words about how it's issued by the government and why she had to except it. Then later I figured out that people try to be cheap and put things in rolls that aren't of that cash value. Another time I tried to cash a check that said no recourse on it and the bank manager wouldn't except it, I had to contact the head CEO and she told her she had to except it or find another job. I was taking legal courses at the time and I knew all this.

Sincere question: what about the term “Scotch-Irish”? I hear that term sometimes to describe a subset of Scottish people with Irish ancestry.

I like Scotland :) I've never been there but the landscape, the nature and history is amazing. Actually I know you've got your own money, your own government at really just as I see a part of Commonwealth (along with Canada, New Zealand and Australia, they all got their own money and bank system. And government). You have some common language with Norwegian, I'm not kidding you. I'm a nurse and started to try and find a job in Shetland, and then came brexit, and now the virus... Love your channel, BTW came here from Laurence from Lost in the pond 😊 Ps: Schotsman used to be a brand of cigarette in my childhood. My mom smoked them. No filter 🤔 Cheers from Norway :)

We have a legit fish & chips + haggis food cart here in Beaverton, Oregon, USA run by a grumpy Scotsman. He also deep fries Mars bars and sells Irn-Bru. Fantastic spot, and you can't find anything else like it around here. Good man.

I am an American living in Northern Ireland, and number 8 happens to me all the time when I go to England! Ulster Bank and Bank of Ireland sterling notes look different and sometimes confuse people in England.

Having been born and lived most my life in the deep south (Tennessee & South Carolina), now living in Kentucky, which is considered mid-south, we are often accused also of frying everything we eat, well not everything but close. Here in Kentucky you will get a lively debate on where the world's best Whiskey is made. If ever here you should go on the Bourbon Tour. The best time to do that is during the Ky. Derby Festival, the 2 weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby, which is ran the first Saturday in May. There's something going on every day. P.S.- Growing up spending summers on the family farm in central Ky., we raised Angus Cattle, owned a few of them myself.

Congratulations on 100k!! 🎉🎉 I've been watching your videos since last spring and I've learned so much about the lovely people and amazing places in Scotland. I finally got to have a visit for the first two weeks of August I can't shake the feeling that I would love to live in Scotland at some point in my life. Also- I thought the Pound Sterling notes were so cool so I kept paying for things with the Bank of England ones in the hopes that I would get Scottish banknotes. I ended up with quite the collection! Keep adventuring and making great content! :)

My grand mother used "scotch" as old slang word for; skimpy, cheap, short-changing, minimal. She was an american mid-western native of Celtic ancestry (Irish, Scots-Irish, Scottish) a couple generations removed from the other side of the pond. I don't know if this is a regional or cultural slang as I am a north-western american native.

With the bank notes thing I think its because in england (and Wales) only the bank of england can issue notes but here in Scotland all 3 of our major banks. Clydesdale, Bank of Scotland and The Royal Bank of Scotland can issue notes. In a couple years it won't matter anyway since most places, buses and taxis now accept cards.

As an exile I have a thing "Oh you are a long way from home aren't you" as if I have just arrived on the platform at Euston over night. A lady once said that to me on a bus in Enfield (where I currently live) and I pointed out that "no I,m not, just about three miles away", she replied "oh but you are from Scotland aren't you". Another one that irritates the living daylights out of me is when the weather gets cold "oh you'll be used with this won't you, coming from Scotland" here's news for them I have lived south of the Border 36 years - 7.5 years longer than I lived North of the Border - I am from Langholm in the deep South of Scotland. The coldest place I have ever been was at a point to point race meeting at Charing Kent about four years ago in Mid February. It stands out as the coldest day out I have ever known. Barely above freezing all day a nasty wind with snow flurries - I like kent but never again in February, or at least not at Charing.

"We even make fun of ourselves. We'll encourage you to join in, we love it!" ... My mom's side of the family are all of Scottish descent. If we couldn't make fun of ourselves and our loved ones (constantly) then, honestly, we probably wouldn't know what in the heck to ever talk about. XD

Would love to see you do a livestream in Edinburgh! Loved this video. As an American of Scottish descent, the "Scotch" thing has always grated on me. Funnily enough I found a census document under which my great-grandfather appeared in Prince Edward Island, Canada (1880s or so). Under his "Nationality" they wrote "Scotch." I suppose it's the way they did things in Maritime Canada, LOL... It was an interesting discovery, though.

Before I moved to Scotland, a (very simple) friend of mine asked if we’d have electricity. WTH??? Do people not understand those films and tv like Braveheart, Outlander etc are set looong ago? And taxi drivers and sandwich shops in London were always refusing Scottish notes. I argued but to no avail.
