Nice video! The fifteenth century Valois dukes of Burgundy also adopted Saint Andrew as their patron saint and used a red, saw-toothed saltire as a banner, but it seems to be unclear why they choose Andrew and his saltire. One theory is that Duke John the Fearless choose them to honour his Scottish soldiers led by the Earl of Mar and the Earl of Douglas.

I have some very dear friends who are not Scottish at all (they’re Hazara Afghan, in fact) but loved the idea of the Highland Games I worked at as a reenactor. They never got a chance to go and have since moved very far away (New Zealand of all places), but this past Saint Andrew’s Day, they sent me a picture of their two little girls holding a Saltire they’d drawn in class; the girls had insisted on sending it to me because they remembered that my family was from Scotland. I nearly burst into tears right there in the gym, it was so sweet. 😭❤️

Great wee book to compliment this is (for me anyway) The Celtic Way of Evangelism by George G Hunter. Great reminder of how important the migration of Church, faith, learning and more came from the north and west rather than Canterbury. Just a wee setting the record out and straightening of history like Bruce does.

Years ago, I read an English language summary of a study by a Greek scholar showing how the travels of St. Andrew were possible. Very interesting how Andrew could have traveled to Scotland, Russia, India and China on established trade routes. Not necessarily proof of visiting but proof that it was possible and stories of his visits might not all be fables.

Yes. I read this too. It is plausible. Andreas was north of the Black Sea and evangelized and he may came up north to the Baltic Sea. He should have entered a trading ship and landed on scottish shores for a short time. My name is Andreas, the greek original name of the scottish saint. I have a strong inner connection to the flag.

Another fascinating video Bruce. As a Dumfriesshire man with many family links in Ayrshire, my preference is Burns night as well. Always been aware of St. Andrews day on 30th November, but never really celebrated it in any way. Never fail to celebrate Burns night on 25th January though and always have my haggis neeps and tatties 😁👍

My great grandfather, JJ Badenoch, helped found the Illinois St. Andrew's Society for the purpose of providing care and housing for the aged Scots people of Chicago. Several years ago, the then-president of the society contacted me and in our conversation he told me that JJ had attended 50 consecutive St. Andrew's Day Dinners. The St. Andrew's home for the aged is still functioning and the Illinois St. Andrew's Society still has an annual banquet.

Stories bind us together in so many ways. My assumption is that very few people today believe that St Andrew himself intervened in a battle in the 9th Century, but that idea has resonated for over a millennium. Although I will be drinking whisky at any gathering, Burns night is obviously a better celebration. But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer, Gie her a Haggis!

I remember being told when a wee girl that the Saltire came about after a white cross was held up to the blue sky (probably by St Andrew).

Love all your videos. I really know nothing about the history of this little country I live in. I have a vast knowledge of Roman and Greek history 😂 Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Always informative, entertaining, and interesting 👍 👏

This is the weird coincidence. My grandfather was Scottish , my grandmother was Irish welsh, and I was born in a town in Brasil named Saint Andrew, ( Santo André)with a white blue flag With a center of Saint andrew cross in green and yellow, suddenly this video pops! And made me realize that cross follow me and my ancestors for quite a while. If interested, check Google Santo Andre flag !

Between East Lothian and Charleston, SC this just screams Clan Pringle. I don't know if that's the case but I'm going to post it on their Facebook page later in the week. Thanks!

I am the only Poe scholar (first a college fan, then as an Independent Scholar, then as a biographer) who has investigated and written of Edgar Allan Poe's Scottish Connections [2013, Foster City, Cal.]. Hervey Allan (1928) is the first to have written information into a chapter, but never cited his sources. So my investigation had to show my readers the cultural milieu of where and in which Poe inherited his intellectual and literary perspectives. In doing that, I document every footnote and source of information. Nevertheless, the PSA and the MLA expressly discount my work. My surveys of Ayrshire did not include a discussion of the Scottish flag, the Saltire, and its origins, but I did include notes on your heraldry, especially as it relates to Glencoe, in his, "The Valley of Unrest." I did not think it relative at the time. However, after watching your presentation (26 November, 3 days before the American celebration of "Saint Andrew's night,"), I realize there are some relevant and vital points that relate to Poe's psyche. You are an unpretentious authority on Scotland whose knowledge reaches me in the most fluid way, through video. I am dyslexic, and truly hate reading. So grateful for your knowledge, research, and programs. Sgt. Brill, USAF (Ret), Thailand [P.S., I have been reluctant to write of my findings on the Scottish African Slave trade in which Burns, Galt, and Poe connectionsappreciate
