Scottish Myths and Legends

[@patriciamoffat1542]

Come and experience Scotland anytime. Beautiful scenery, good fresh air, welcoming and friendly people, weather a wee bit unreliable most days.😅 I'm Scottish and live in Scotland, probably a wee bit biased.

[@AngusMacKinnon-xm5ko]

You are no biased at all laddie. As a Scot; I am extremely proud of my country, our banished Royal Family, and our prowess. Though as a young lad of 15, my father emigrated to Australia, much against the protestation of my mother and I, it broke my heart the day the ship pulled away from the dock at Tilbury. From then on (1961) I yearned to return to back to Scotland, but in order to honour the wishes of my father and my mother's father (Grandpa) I remained in Australia much against my wishes. I married 51 years ago to a Scottish girl who was never keen to return. However; she honoured my wishes to go back to my beloved Highlands and told me to go back for Three weeks. Twelve months later, I came back to Australia and to World War III. Two years later, when I asked the wife if it were OK if I went back to Scotland, she said OK but asked the question: "How long are you going back for" I said: "THREE WEEKS" My wife responded: I Seem to have heard that before"! However; three weeks it was that I was back for. There were tears in my eyne when I left home again; never to return. Regardless of how often I pleaded with my wife to return back home, I got a negative answer. There is an old saying: "YOU CAN TAKE THE LAD OUT OF SCOTLAND, BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE SCOTLAND OUT OF THE LAD!! ALBA GU BRAGH!!!!!

[@patriciamoffat1542]

@@AngusMacKinnon-xm5ko Australia seemed so far away all those years ago when you were 15, the opposite side of the world. It doesn't seem so far away nowadays. I've never lived anywhere but here. I'm close to my family, unless we had moved somewhere together, I wouldn't have gone too far. I suppose in your heart there's something always drawing you back to your roots. You don't miss much here anyway, the weather is worse than it was when I was young, I've got a long memory.

I spent the better part of a month in Scotland visiting our Family's Castle, the Scottish countryside, large towns and small quaint villages. I am a direct descendant of Gordon Highlanders. When I (we) arrived in Scotland and began touring/exploring, I had an overwhelming feeling that I was finally home; I felt as though I truly belonged there. I identified with the wonderful people and beautiful country; I felt very much at home. It was a spiritual & emotional experience, particularly when we visited our once Family Castle (I am a descendant of Gordon Highlanders & our castle is Huntly Castle); my mother & her sister inherited the castle shortly after The Depression here in America. As they didn't have the money to travel to Scotland to assume possession of the castle, my mom & her sister signed the it over to the Scottish Government. They did a wonderful job restoring it, though some of it is in ruins. My sister, myself, husbands & my 86 year old mother visited the castle (we explored every inch!). There were a lot of tears, joy and spiritual feelings of belonging there. It WAS an amazing day, a moving experience. We met our cousins over there, and they joined in on the Huntly Castle excursion. It was an Amazing day (and me Mum got to see her castle 😊). I've seen other comments here on how people were spiritually moved, felt an overwhelming belonging when they visited Scotland - I totally get that. I too felt like I was at/in a place where I'd been before, especially when I visited small villages where my distant relatives were born and lived. I truly appreciate this video: the folklore and true stories were of great interest. Though I've read & heard it before, it was a great refresher of some of Scotland's history. If you ever have an opportunity to see Scotland, GO! The people ARE wonderful, and the country IS beautiful. I fell madly in love with Scotland. ❤

[@lwilson123]

glad you loved our country

[@diane5124]

Bless such a sad time for you mum to give up a beautiful castle. I bet she was heart broken to let it go. The other side to your story is what happened to the Scottish people who depended on the lady of the castle for there lively hood. Their lives could of been totally different if you family managed to get back home. I too have a Scottish connection but sadly don't live there. But I live in Wales which also makes me feel like home like Scotland does.. x

Wow! I feel like I was MEANT to see this video. About 11 years ago I went on a tour at that cemetary. As soon as I entered the gates, I was so overwhelmed with the spirits of what felt like God or angles that I sat down. I told the tour guide that this felt like holy ground and I felt like I couldn't stand up. He asked me if the presence was coming from a certain area of the cemetary. I pointed towards an area that was maybe 30 feet away and he said, "that is where the Martyrs are buried." I have photos of it still and just looked at them. I still felt the same feeling... and I stopped looking at my photos. It wasn't a bad feeling, but it was HEAVY. LIKE SADNESS and holiness all mixed together. I've never felt anything else like it

When I was a little girl, 6 or 7 years old, I often heard the drums and bagpipes played by the high school band very close to my home in America. I would stop whatever I was doing and listen, mesmerized and then begin to weep silently. A decade and a half later, our family visited my aunt, and I was invited into her "Scottish Room". There, on every surface and every wall were maps, documents and photos, during which, she shared stories of our Scottish ancestors. I am truly a lucky woman. My aunt spent 50 years her life, as a genealogist, member of DAR- Daughters of the American Revolution, and Peace Corp volunteer, compiling, visiting world places, and sourcing proof documents, discovering and preserving, our family history. Up until that point, I knew nothing of our family lineage and suddenly it all made sense; my inexplicable, sentimental tears for the music of an ancient homeland I have never been to; for the soil I have yet to touch. I feel certain now, that not just the mind, but the body, remembers its roots, across generations and the centuries before. I have often argued this position, by asking: "Does not an Oak tree know where and when it will grow?", "Does not the tide return each day of the year, and at near precisely the same day and time as the year before?" My entire body tingles when the pipes and bouhdrans play, and the tears still flow. I am coming Scotland. Alba go bragh

"Once experienced, Stotland can never be forgotten!" You got that right! I've been there once and I absolutely LOVED being there!

Hi Neil, I love watching your videos here, and fascinated by your conclusions or thoughts in relation to wildfires and also concerning I ran Khan, I was a huge fan in his cricketing career and follow his journey into politics with interest, I read his books, learned about his struggle to get healthcare for his mother with cancer and setting up a hospital and education centres and I have also been curious about his demise. What a sad world this is becoming. Stay strong please and keep up the very very valuable work you are doing here.

My mom's side came from Scotland! Her maiden name was Livingstone. She passed away from cancer in 2011.

[@Mrs.Cadoux]

I lived my formative years in Livingstone, Lothian. I like coincidence like this 🎉 may your beloved mother rest in peace 🦋🎉🦋

After James II, those in line for the throne were James' daughters Mary and Anne, and after them William of Orange. Mary who was the wife of William of Orange was offered the crown, but William and Mary became joint monarchs. It has been suggested (strongly) they became joint rulers due to William throwing a fit at the thought of his wife being his superior. It would appear that Mary II being a joint ruler and the daughter of James did not make up for her husband not being a Scot.

13:21 there has been an expedition into the cave recently and they did find human bones inside a man made trench that could have attached to the castle above. I have not seen any update about those bones. One vertebrae was small like a child’s. There were animal bones as well.

So much history!!!

[@cynsi7604]

What’s kinda funny is that the Highland Scots (where my mom’s side of the family from the 1700s) are in the South as in SOUTHERNER in the Foothills of The Smokey Mountains in Western NC. 🤔 It’s just a lil fun fact from coming from the north of Scotland & then ending up in the Southern part of the USA 🇺🇸 x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 = 🩵 😎✌🏻

What an enchanted tale and beautiful history lesson! I wish I was Scottish, but alas, Germany is in my bloodline. But my heart is not. However, my high school (in USA) were the Highlanders and we had pipers and dancers, so maybe that's a part of it... ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🙌⛓️‍💥

As a human of Earth, I appreciate this.

I’m very happy that my dna is 38% Scottish, beating out the 35% English. lol I really enjoyed this video and would love to hear more like it!

Love these stories. My grandfather Sutherland was born in Inverness his mother was a Milne. I have always loved her name and have one picture of her that I wish I knew how to share. Her name was Queenie Alexandra Milne Sutherland and I wish I could share it like I said but she truly looks like a Queenie. My father and myself where born in Baltimore MD.

I was dreaming that I was climbing a hill out front of a cemetery and looked over in the distance to a hill with a scottish castle and I thought that must be where Im to go then a hand came out in front of my face and a man stood there wanting to help me the rest of the way up the hill but he led me away from my castle into a Gold truck. A few months after the dream I met a man who drove a gold truck.

I’m starting to take a look at what I should see when in Scotland. Had my dna done and I’m 53% Scottish! I had no idea. I knew I had some English and a Danish great grandfather but was completely surprised. My dad had some too but my mom was of people who came to Canada back in the 1700s. When I step onto the ground in a month or so, I am likely the blood of generations stepping back to their home for the first time since they left. Also going to Dublin and have a ‘wee’ bit of Irish as well.

The land is old and wild and full of magic ..🦌 The mountains there were once taller than the Himalayas. The 🎥🍿 movie Highlander was filmed there⚔️🗡️
