Rock on Rockall

Attempt to land team of Belgian radio experts on to remote Rockall. It failed due to ever changing Atlantic moods..
Music by the Wolf Tones.

I remember at school the British empire coloured in pink spanned a quarter of the globe and now this is all that is left and even that is questionable due to various territorial disputes with Ireland. W

[@francismcmenaman1417]

The Sun never set on the British Empire because you couldn't trust the English in the dark.

[@michaelmccloskey3893]

Denmark also dispute the claim too I think

[@MarkFeltonProductions]

Hi - I'm seeking permission to use a couple of clips of Rockall from this video for a programme I'm making about the history of Rockall. I run Mark Felton Productions, a KZbin history channel with over 280,000 subscribers, and in return I'd promote your channel in my description. Look forward to hearing from you. Mark

[@balachmor1]

Yes thats no problem Mark !!

[@MarkFeltonProductions]

Many thanks. I'll place a link to your site in the description.

Once Scotland gets her independence we'll make sure ireland gets it back. We'll have to sort out a few hunovarians first who are still loyal to Britain, sorry I mean Ingurland, sorry I mean the crown, sorry I mean their Anglo Saxon masters. Alba agus Èireann gu brath 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ☘️

[@SlavinChris]

Yet a Scotish naval ship interferred with an Irish fishing ship yesterday.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@francismcmenaman1417]

Alot of Scots want independence and back in Europe. We need European countries like Ireland on side. Scotland technically isn't seen as a country just now (EXCEPT BY SCOTS) but part of U. K. So its a british vessel that is patrolling the british/irish/nobodies waters. Conveniently described as Scottish when it's problematic or difficult but if it is the finding of oil or gas it would be described as British vessel or British waters. Our media and many of the other infrastructures and heirarchy are British ruled and led. We have a small opportunity for independence before our Anglo Saxon masters end our hopes and dreams by lies, mudslinging and suppression. Is Andy Murray Scottish or British? Depends if he's winning 😂 3,2,1,and sleep.

[@SlavinChris]

Maybe Scotland and NI should secede together:)

[@francismcmenaman1417]

@@SlavinChris 😂 we might aswell. Weve been emigrating back n forth for thousands of years. Pirates, Pagans, Papes n Prods 😂 The dna research shows the ties between much of Scotland and The North of the Island of Ireland are pretty tight. More so than the invading Anglo Saxon types 😉☘️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MountAnalogue]

You are so lucky to see such a beautiful sight. I have always wanted to photograh it and had a crazy idea once of creating and publishing a photobook on the simplistic majesty of the island. It's funny though, how we can have such a interest in such a tiny place when on this very day the tallest structure ever built way completed on the other side of the world...

[@balachmor1]

Hello there ! I was out there May June 2009 as a paying passenger to help a five strong Belgen radio team to do what they had to and get on the rock to break some records with transmitions of i think for over a 24 hour period !! It was not achieved due to ardverse weather conditions but a brilliant time had by all

[@OlauspetriGoomba]

Thanks balachmor1, excellent footage, fantastic song! Three tumbs up!

[@DonSimonUK]

Not sure what anybody wants to do with a tiny rock in the middle of nowhere. Is it more to do with what is under it? I.E. Oil?

[@7183d]

It’s part of Irish folklore
