Scotland is related to even more important people and events than was mentioned here. Charles Darwin was apparently educated in Scotland, and although he now lives in England, Gordon Ramsay is Scottish.

[@pedanticradiator1491]

1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them: 2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race. 3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them. 4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, "No!" And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9] 5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37] 6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3] 7 NOW WHAT DOES THIS MESSAGE OF THE LAMB SAY? This Message says that we are no longer in the evening time but at midnight. However, it is the same age and the same Spirit of Elijah, but a "New" Message which is a high scope of the one of the evening time. Zechariah 14:7 is therefore different from Matthew 25:6.

Born an Aussie of English parents. As boy, I grew up in the company of many Scots who made great impressions upon this wee lad. Throughout my life, I could often be quoted as saying that if I were not an Aussie, my one desire would be to be a Scot. The pipes cause my blood to rise and my skin to goosebump. If I thought I had the right to wear a tartan, I'd have a kilt in my wardrobe. Alas, I've looked extensively and cannot find an ancestor (even a distant one) from whom I might inherit that right. Lang mae ye lum reek.

American, here. The Mrs. and I took her mother to Scotland for 2 weeks. Let me say that Scotland is glorious and achingly beautiful. The food was amazing, including lamb, taters and neeps, not to mention the salmon. I even had 3 helpings of haggis. Almost every day it was ~70F and sunny, and we were told we were very lucky. I'd have to say that the weather and vibe in Scotland (to me) is comparible to the Pacifiic Northwestern USA. Everyone we met was delightful. The land is steeped in history, and it really blew my mind. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Me mum came fae jis ootside Aberdeen wie her kin tae Canada in '69. I've never been yet, but I feel so drawn to Scotland. Maybe being born in New Scotland (Nova Scotia) and my blood being what it is does it. Been living in Canada far north for almost ten years now, working outdoors. Either foolhardy, or good genes! I dearly miss seeing my older relatives from Scotland come visit us. And I miss my grandfather. The banter at the table. Crazy tales "fae back hame." Was married in a kilt. Planning to graduate college (better late than never!) in a kilt. Every vehicle I have owned has St. Andrew's Cross on the front bumper. I learned to make my own haggis, and used to make my own spice mix for oatmeal. The wife and I are really hoping for a visit and tour once school is done. Loved this two-part series. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers!

One omission in the actor category is Sam Heughan who has risen to fame for portraying the lead actor in the series "Outlander" which was written about Scotland, Jacobites, and Scottish immigration to the US. He is a huge cheerleader for Scotland. My 3X great-grandfather was born in Greenock.

[@Geodiode]

An oversight! Sadly I couldn't get past Season 1 "Wentworth Prison" - the torture/humiliation scenes were just too much. Which is a shame as much of the other content in the series was excellent.

[@rebeccagumm65]

@@Geodiode For many fans that is a very hard episode to watch, and those who rewatch the series over and over again, many say they skip that episode because of the brutality. The rest of the series is excellent. I started watching the series in 2020, and read all the books (at that time) in under 6 months. I have since finished the novellas and the most recent book.

[@marlannaconnell8707]

I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. All though they are just books and a TV series which some will take lightly, the history the author has researched and included in the books is excellent. And the TV series has brought that history to the screen. I do understand how hard it is to watch the "Wentworth Prison" episodes. I have watched the episodes now more than once and it still is very hard to watch. But if anyone will brace themselves and watch you will see acting than can compare to no other. I cannot imagine where an actor has to go to in their minds to protray such a horrific situation. Sam Hueghan as the victim was outstanding. If you can bring yourself to watch, pay attention to the his facial expressions. He established himself as a great actor. I did read where he said it was hard and stressful to do the scenes. History shows life in the eighteeth century was hard and for a highlander death was an every day occurance.

Scotland's rich history is filled with tales of resilience, culture, and fierce battles for freedom. Every corner of the country whispers stories of its storied past, from the clans and kings to epic battles like Bannockburn. A well-made history documentary can bring these chapters of Scotland's past to life, showcasing the legacy of a nation that has always stood tall, even in the face of adversity. Truly fascinating!

[@prospektarty1513]

My grandmother is Scottish and both my parents have Scottish ancestry. It's an extremely beautiful country. Proud of Scotland.

[@Wisdom1944]

My grandchildren are 1/4 Campbell on the paternal grandmothet's side, and Im proud to help nurture their respect for and understanding of that proud heritage.

[@darylwilliams7883]

Scotland. Definitely on my bucket list. It's been there since the first time I heard the pipes. A common enough thing here in Canada.

[@Geodiode]

Get yersel o'er there, laddie! And indeed, I do see bagpipes a lot in videos about Canada!

[@cadoo5591]

Love this video! John Rennie, Sr b1761 was quite the bridge builder and was my 1st cousin 6x removed. His father James was an inventor of agricultural equipment.

[@TheTaotheawakenedone]

Awesome. Mother's side is Rankine. Born in America, I've managed to trace my family back across the pond, from Virginia to LondonDerry in Ulster, eventually to AyrShire south of Glasgow. My family fought in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Very, very proud of my lineage

[@Geodiode]

Fascinating. I wonder if your mother's side is related to the great Rankine of thermodynamics I mention in the video...

[@TheTaotheawakenedone]

@@GeodiodePossible. There are also Hamiltons and Steeles in my family, and we may be related to Alexander Hamilton through his mother. i do know the Rankins are a big clan, and Rankine means WolfShield. The earliest records of the name are from the Outer Hebrides, 12th century. My great grands crossed the frozen Missouri in a covered wagon in the 1800s and homesteaded in the Nebraska territory for 60 years. There's a town just west of where they lived called Rankin, NE.

[@isaacw1752]

Fantastic video. So comprehensive, well done and really respectful of our country and culture. Only one inconsequential detail which is now incorrect - the forth bridge no longer has to be painted continuously as new long life paint has been developed and in use since 2012, meaning they finished painting it after 122 years. Phrase is still in use anyway.

[@Geodiode]

Thank you so much Isaac! Yes, I did know about that special new paint they began using... but it wouldn't be as poetic, would it? ;) Still my favourite of all bridges, regardless, and inspiration for Iain Bank's "The Bridge".

Great Video. I had the pleasure to visit at least a small part of Scotland with my two sons in 2015 to play golf courses around St. Andrews, including the Old Course. The golf courses were quite an experience for we three, being Americans who are used to playing on manicured courses. I rather enjoyed the Haggis and Black Pudding each morning for breakfast at our small hotel in St. Andrews. Those 2 dishes are quite similar to my experience as a southern Indiana farm boy, with Swiss and German heritage. We called the Haggis by the name of Headcheese, and the Black Pudding was Blood Sausage. Of course we tipped a few grams of the local Whisky each evening as well. The history and the present day Scotland are magnificent to behold. Cheers! jca

[@Geodiode]

Thank you John, and great to hear of your visit to St Andrews. Quite an experience!

[@sapien82]

Being born in Scotland and having access to such a wealth of history in such a small place is great always plenty of things to go and see. I think I love the rain and the green of Scotland more than anything but the landscape is beautiful and always fun to explore. Also extremely proud of Scotland and its contributions to the world despite being such a small population.

[@ivanphilp7911]

Great video, however how could you miss one of the most influential Scots of all time Andrew Carnegie. Without him the railroads of America most likely would not have happened, and the ability of the common man to learn by reading books due to his funding of public libraries are two of many things Andrew Carnegie is world famous for

[@Geodiode]

A very grave omission! Yes he should have been included. Making these lists is such a difficult task, because there are so many, inevitably some greats get missed!

[@desiredibi1621]

1 Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14. This is the account of my conversion, as well as the three great visions of the call and commission as I received them: 2 I came to conversion on April 24, 1993 according to Daniel 10:4 to 11 by a vision in which I saw myself standing on the sand of the sea and then on top of a high pyramid and then again on the sand of the sea in another place and I saw an old military truck coming out of the depths of the sea and leave behind me. I turned and I saw that it contained living people. They were women and one of them was mixed-race. 3 Then two doves came toward me and went back over the waters. And there was an eclipse, then a man having the appearance of a Cloud and holding a sword came down from Heaven with a Lamb and the earth was illuminated again. They stood on the waters and the Lamb began to speak to me in an unknown tongue. The sound of his voice came into me and I fell dead. My soul went to stand on the waters with them while my body was lying on the sand of the sea. When He had finished speaking to me, my soul came into me and I became alive again but I no longer saw Them. 4 Then a crowd of people came toward me from the right side and I asked them if they had seen the Angel and the Lamb. They said, "No!" And I said: “But, how did you not see the Angel and the Lamb and all the things They have done?” They replied, "We have not seen the Angel and the Lamb and we have not heard the Words the Lamb pronounced, but we entirely believe It because what God gave and that the devil took, has now been restituted to you ". I looked up and I saw a ladder set up between the sky and the earth, above the waters and angels ascended and descended. And the vision ended and I felt what I know today to be the Holy Spirit and I wept and I believed in God on the spot. [Kc.64v3] [Kc.130v9] 5 The following day at around 3 p.m. while I was sitting with my family, I was transported again in vision into a totally desert country and I saw eastward Words that were coming down from Heaven carried on Clouds. It was after these two visions that I got up and went to church for the very first time. [Kc.137v37] 6 In a third vision, we were sitting in an examination room for the Advanced level test and the examiner was distributing the test-papers. I said to myself, "But what am I doing here? I do not have a good school level and what am I going to write?” And later, It was said to me: "The same way that Mary conceived miraculously, without knowing any man, the same way that Moses received in details what happened at the creation, you too, you have received the Words of eternal Life on this April 24, 1993 and it is decreed by God. At the appointed time, you will understand and you will teach what you did not learn in order that whoever believes has eternal Life". [Kc.9v34] [Kc.30v1-3] 7 NOW WHAT DOES THIS MESSAGE OF THE LAMB SAY? This Message says that we are no longer in the evening time but at midnight. However, it is the same age and the same Spirit of Elijah, but a "New" Message which is a high scope of the one of the evening time. Zechariah 14:7 is therefore different from Matthew 25:6.

[@Griff_JR]

Nice video, there's couple bits I think worth highlighting. The mention of tartan sounded like the use of kilts and tartan weather naturally established into family patterns, but the family named tartan was a fashion creation in London, which the clan cheifs liked the sound of and adopted. Original, as with most things traditional now, tartan was just any pattern as kilts (full kilts more then the short kilt) were workwear and functional rather then a statement of family/nation As the union with England is covered a in a few parts; the economy section would have been good to include how it was the driving factor for Scotland in creating a union after it lost a 5th of its national wealth in the failed Panama colony attempt as I think that's on overlooked but key part of Scotland's history with the UK.

[@Geodiode]

Thank you, that is useful info about Tartan and clan ownership. Regarding Darien, this is discussed in Part 1, although many Scots take issue with my treatment of that affair and the Union with England (which was very complex and difficult to condense in a short video about the country's history as a whole).

[@mcdibbern9919]
