Scotland - Geography, Culture and Economy

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

You're welcome Kilted Bill! Glad it stirred!

[@PaulineCook-fy5po]

Nice and concise, the pictures fill me with the desire to visit Scotland. My family was from Ireland but I heard many stories of how sometimes the men went over to Scotland to work and we did have relatives from there. Thank you for the information. Especially appreciated how you explained the connection to England. Never knew or understood how they were connected. Again, a clear and easy to comprehend history. Thank you.

[@Geodiode]

Thanks! Good to hear of your family history. I'm about half Irish on both sides of the family.

[@ianhigh4354]

History of Ireland, Scotland, England and even Wales cannot be isolated from each other. The ties between the countries are so deep and intertwined that they truly are brothers within the UK. - An Englishman happily living in western Ireland for 30 years

I’m American with Scottish ancestry. This two part series was a real privilege to watch. Thank you!

[@Geodiode]

Thanks!

[@scottdunham978]

This was quite helpful and informative. I watched it because we will be traveling around Scotland for 12 days in June. Good perspective on Scotland for those of us who don't know. Thanks again.

[@Geodiode]

Thank you Scott. I hope you get to get to check out Part 1 on History too.

I was lucky to visit Scotland. I was smitten by the beautiful nature.

[@Geodiode]

It really is!

[@Goatsmore]

Well done Sir! My family visited Scotland back in '15 from the States and were told by a few friends we had to try Anstruther Fish and Chips Bar since we were staying near Anstruther, best fish and chips I've ever eaten. I was very surprised to see you had included them in this video.

[@scotland638]

Haste ye back.

[@Geodiode]

Thanks, yes, I had mine from "The Wee Chippy" back in '12 - definitely the best in the world, and I'm from Yorkshire (that also claims to have the best).

I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I'm so interested in Scotland because it's a wonderful country in the world. Hence, I wish to migrate to Scotland.

[@JasonBellrealestate]

Brilliant video- so well done. Born and raised in Scotland, I moved to the USA, and everywhere I go people hear my accent. Always proud to be a Scot. This was a great wee gaze into some of the different aspects about the old country. Cheers everyone- here’s to Scotland!

[@Geodiode]

Welcome Jason! Yes, I lived in the USA too, and the British accent got me a long way too. The yanks go mad for both!

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.

As a native, I would say that you did Haggis a disservice. You don't become a national dish if you weren't tasty. Ignore what's in it, and taste it. If you can eat a Hot Dog, you can eat Haggis...

I lived in Scotland in a town called Aberdeen. I have never ever met such unwelcoming, angry, aggressive people. I lived there for 2 years and my neighbour not even said hello once but never skipped giving me evil looks. Not just that but I've had days where gangs would push me on the streets deliberately. A lot of people are drinking like crazy and take drugs on Fridays and Saturdays. I feel like people in Aberdeen have lost it. But hey - there's nice outdoors areas , parks and seaside. Also Aberdeen Angus is delicious.

[@craigsymington5401]

Tears to my eyes laddie. Both my paternal grandparents were 100% Scotish heritage (note my Scot surename), I'm 4th generation South African, and one of many self-exiled, now in New Zealand. I loved this series and yearn to Scotland. My lucky brother now lives in UK and gets to travel to Scotland frequently on business. I always love the photos he posts from there.

[@Geodiode]

Thanks - so nice to hear. At least you got out. NZ isn't a bad place to live at all, and plenty of fellow Scot-descendants there also ;)

[@LinhHoang-uw6jp]

I learned about Scotland through the novel by writer Lynn Kurland. I was fascinated by the majestic and poetic scenery of the steppe through the pages of the book. Now seeing the images in this video, it's even more amazing. Hope to go to Scotland one day not too far away

[@sampitmoberutu6766]

padahal scotlandia begitu cantik tapi mr Dale Phillip malah buat vlog di Indonesia yang mana beliau menjelajahi tempat wisata yang sudah kurang populer dan kurang menarik lagi sekarang. meskipun begitu saya sangat begitu senang karena beliau juga termasuk sudah mempromosikan wisata itu dengan cara beliau. kadang saat melihat vlog beliau yang berjumpa dengan orang2 yang suka bercanda(troll) di Indonesia agak sedikit geram tapi untungnya beliau menanggapi hal tersebut dengan canda gurau juga, mengingat beliau juga sering melakukan candaan kepada orang yang menurut dia kurang menghormati dirinya. mr Dale ayoo ke Indonesia lagi. kali ini anda harus mengunjungi papua supaya perjalanan anda di Indonesia sudah lengkap. tapi kalau anda sudah berencana untuk berangkat ke papua tolong sedikit berhati2 memilih tempat anda berkunjung karena disana sedang ada penjagaan ketat terhadap separatis papua yang bisa membahayakan nyawa anda. tolong jangan pergi ke tempat terpencil kalau anda di papua seperti yang anda lakukan di Sumatera Utara. terimakasih mr Dale Phillip. saya salah satu pengagum vlog anda.

As a Scot who has lived here all my day, I very much enjoyed that, and learned a few things too. Two additional things I'd probably include that are important to modern day Scotland is Irn Bru and football and its impact on culture, particularly in Glasgow. Fantastic video though, well done.
