Such characters in Scottish history! Love the history lessons and the scenery to go with them! Thanks for another great episode! ⛳

[@michellevv46]

always look forward to hearing these little-known parts of Scottish history!

[@skyedancer3106]

WOW Robert, what a great history lesson. I love hearing you tell them. Thank you! Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤❤

[@janetmackinnon3411]

I admire both your research and your delivery. Thank you.

[@patriciamccormack7626Teashee]

Thank you Robert 👍 That was very interesting history on how golf ⛳ came about, and the rules, I'm so glad the art of being a surgeon has progressed since back then, and so say all of us 😂 Have a wonderful evening Robert and family ❤

Good to see that Mr Rattray has finally been unveiled. My late parents in law lived just yards away from this spot. For a long, long time the statue was in place but surrounded by high fencing while the location became more and more overgrown. Looks great now so it was clearly worth the wait!

[@tracylowe9570]

Interesting history. HoofGP sent me👋

[@CineMiamParis]

Good story. Also, I like this statue. It has personality and movement. Thanks for the video!

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Another well-told tale that answers a lot of questions.😊Thanks Robert.

[@cindyrissal3628]

YAY! It's Sunday & time for Scotland Unplugged!😊

[@shalacarter6658]

Hi Robbie! Thank you for the confirmation that Golf used to be played in the rough. And had to have been more interesting than the current sanitized version. Well, except for the Florida links where gators wander around. Blessings! xo

[@mschoy1597]

Informative as per usual! Thank you Unplugged! 😏🤗☺😘😘

[@herstoryswitness]

Golfing has always been addicting I guess. 😁 And in the middle of controversy. Thanks again 👍

[@stephenoran2019]

Very cool! Golfers are usually fairly dedicated to their sport, which I guess from your presentation, is a grand tradition. It's a shame that politics and war had to interfere with the evolution of such a pastoral sport! Another great video! Thanks for this!

[@Feline_Frenzy53]

I can't begin to imagine how today's golfers would deal with the rough of olden times. lol, thanks for another great story, Robbie!

[@giannabarrow7764]

Interesting! Great story. I especially like that they have recreated the rough and rugged one hole course. Actually, I might be a better golfer in those conditions! 😂😂

[@Make_Pepe_Great_Again]

Speed, bonnie ball, like a putt on the green!

[@vharrald]

I'm a golfer and i love the tales of how, when and where golf started. Please give more stories on the time and place of golf throughout history.. thank you

[@lorifromtemeculaca426]

Thank you lad, for ALL your stories!

[@TheMeg0128]

Great job Bob!! You’re such a great story teller… 👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️

[@hildabower314]

I had to look up what a Jacobite was. Great story. ❤😊

[@scotlandunplugged]

I did a video on the Jacobites in August last year. It’s on my Scottish people playlist 🙂

[@shalacarter6658]

ohhhhh, so that is what a Primus is! Been wondering.

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

This is off topic but you might want to get out with a good flashlight and investigate Borgie Souterrain. It was first found in 1997.

[@scotlandunplugged]

Interesting!

[@emmamaclachlan1971]

"Annoyed they weren't practicing their archery"...and yet now a golf club is one of the favoured household weapons! If only they'd known then 😂

[@FoulOwl2112]

One has to wonder. Were the ancient Scot's wives always pissed off with their husbands for two days after a round of Golf? Or is that just more of a modern tradition?

[@catherinespencer-mills1928]

I attempted golf once. I'm left handed and could not get the hang of it.

[@scotlandunplugged]

My Mum’s left handed. I think she has reversed clubs.

[@catherinespencer-mills1928]

@@scotlandunplugged I don't remember if those were available at the course. It was a small town with a big golf course. Whatever I tried nothing worked or I sucked at it or both.

[@cindyrissal3628]

Wow. Sounds like doctors/surgeons back then were almost as bad as they are now. Yikes...😮

[@davidcreager1945]

Would love to see the top ten golfers in the world try to play like they did back then ! 😂 Who knew that the history of golf is more exciting than playing it ! 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 / 🇺🇲

Ideally, yes 😂

[@SantiagoTM1]

What a magnificent piece of Golf history... I sincerely thank you my good Sir. Your parents raised U right, & U tell them, please, that I said that.
