I'm a Native American (Kickapoo) from Texas and retired from the U.S. Air Force. 5 years in a row, I attended the Military Tattoo at Castle Edinburgh. What an amazing event, amazing place, city and country!! They love my Texas accent everywhere I go in Scotland and I love the people right back. I served in the military alongside Scots regiments and they have my highest respect. Scotland .... always FREE!

I went to Scotland, specifically Edinburgh, for the first time back in May. It was a beautiful place. The city is probably one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Cityscape meets natural landscape in a great way there, with an inactive volcano butting right up against the old buildings. I highly recommend for anyone thinking of visiting the UK to make Edinburgh part of the trip!

Great documentary! One finicky thing. Unlike B.C., C.E., or B.C.E, the correct usage of “A.D.” technically places the abbreviation before the year in question (E.g. A.D. 425).

Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is now revered in Scotland as a national hero.

These are the kind of details I wonder endlessly about when it comes to historic topics - how kingdoms formed and ended, what came before and in between, etc. They say I'm weird, but I almost exclusively watch and read historic things (with a little science sprinkled in) but somehow, I still learn new things every day. I mean, I know some about Scotland and England's history (very fascinating to me) but I still get certain tribes, groups and kingdoms mixed up and who came first and after, etc - basically, exactly the things you are clarifying here. I recently found out through ancestry research that I'm almost entirely Scottish - my surname, literally my screen name here (minus the numbers), is directly from Scotland - Blalack = Blacklocke. This, after thinking I was German my entire life - so Scotland is extra interesting to me now. Also, wasn't Columba supposedly the first person to record seeing the Loch Ness monster?

Recently got around to properly tracing my genetics and story and found out I'm around ⅓ Scottish (the rest being Welsh/swedish/Anglo-Saxon). That's especially amazing since I'm at least 6th generation in America. Seems like the Scotts stuck together enough to give birth to very Scottish looking me. Happy to learn about the history of my ancestors and their land.

Hi Debbie I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful man with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….

Well done, with such a complicated history , to say the least, this was a great video.

A great and thoroughly comprehensive review of Scotland's proud history.....

Currently living in England... but you can't beat the Scottish! Great people, huge heart!

​@@marypetrie930that's why the person said "Irish American" and not "Irish". This is the terminology we use in the US to reflect where our ancestors came from since most of the country is settled by foreigners.

My quest for knowledge on the history of the world has brought me here. After watching the other videos on the British Isles, I look forward to this video, and I am excited to move on to other parts of the world. I have an entire playlist of your videos ready to watch.

@Stefan Dubois The Normans never left and England was never reclaimed. Probably why it's as it is now..i.e. over crowded and run like a business with no devolved government.

Thank you for posting. I was very interested in early Scottish history.

[@brandenbermudez2412]

Genetically I am a quarter Scottish and I wish my family and their family before them held on to our Scottish roots and history. It makes me sad how much history is just lost to time.

[@dohlecarnett1866]

Another great video. The thing with Malcom and Margaret and the fight against England is an imporant example of how we view too many events from the past through our modern lenses. Wars back in the days which seemed about conquering were sometimes drastic defence measures in the way of the

Me this entire video: SCOTLAND FOREVEEEER! Justin: Please, do not take the movie Braveheart as real history Me: :(

[@vincivedivicilextalionas4036]

Braveheart = Historical Documentary

[@ebs4624]

Brave heart the biggest load of bullshit the real story much much better and makes the scottish look so much stronger and smarter

[@dmiller3398]

Which video did you watch?

[@lyndsaycrawford]

Braveheart was soooo historically inaccurate, battles happened but Robert de Bruce did not betray him! Highly unlikely he even fought beside him due to age difference nor did he impregnate Isabella with Edward iii. The truth is much more interesting! Hollywood 🙄

[@dmiller3398]

@@lyndsaycrawford i would maybe draw peoples attention to Mel Gibson as the main problem with braveheart. The one thing we know is the title of the film is misleading. The brave heart is the one of robert the bruce taken , some of the way on crusade. When i mentioned mel gibson i should have made my idea more clear. He and his father are staunch Catholics. The English after especially after Henry the v111 went against the papacy. I just saw this and his film the Patriot as an anti english protest. If you watch the one about the south Americans its like they will be civilized by the spanish catholic ships just off shore at the end. No history here just a (maybe) imagined agenda.
