I knew Scotland was in the British Isles, but I consider it separate in my rant sent to you. Though please don’t think that I’m a typical US citizen (when applied to the ones who are rude, ignorant and basically sleeping sheep. I know those type are everywhere, but I’m sure the US is seen having its own particular blend of the less than admirable human traits. THANK YOU for the personal note back to me; your Grace (though just because I subscribed) and you absolutely made my month (if not year) by writing: good lad Dann. Blessings; I can’t wait to hear more!

Fascinating, but remember if remotely interested ~ reincarnation has a way of upsetting ALL Apple carts when perceiving this ongoing physical reality😆 I could tell u a few stories that upset ALL claimants to perceived GREATNESS via past life...Guess what, most of us have famous past lives thruout the millennium of Soul's sojourn down here in this physical reality. So what's one of my male past lives claims...lol? Well, I caddied @ Bill Kidd's Interlaken Country Club in Hopkins, MN for 6 years in my youth. Only later did I figure out who Mister Kidd was in one of his past lives...but that's another story😇 Anyway a certain now very famous bisexual caddy was murdered in Scotland after fathering a future king...I wonder who?🎶 Huuuu💙

I live in crookston in Glasgow, just next to Darnley.

It’s beautiful to walk to at night and is open to the public!

Your channel just popped on my home page. Not sure why, but I am so happy about it. I’ve always been interested in Mary Queen of Scots and seen all the movies and television shows about her that I can. Just before the pandemic I took a DNA test and found out (big surprise, but a pleasant one) that almost 70% of my DNA is from the UK, and of that 70% I am 29% Scottish. So I kind of feel related. Anyway, as soon as I’m done typing here I am immediately going to subscribe. I want to know so much more about my ancestral homeland.

I always thought the greatest tragedy about Mary of Scots was that from age 4 until adulthood she was raised in France to be a good consort to a French King, which left her woefully unprepared to navigate Scots politics. Granted that was never part of the original plan but it nonetheless played out. Her father and son on the other hand grew up in the midst of it and more or less learned to manage it to greater or lesser degrees.

[@TragicallyDelicious]

You're a great talented story teller. I have a request which may be an interesting topic for you're consideration but of course I'm biased. My family is known as fighters here in Canada and my grandfather taught me the bagpipes so I did family research on Bell. I would like to see a video about the politics of "the last clan battle" The battle of Dryfe Sands. Appearently some Bells showed up and charged during the battle and helped to win it. If you find it an interesting enough topic no one else has covered it and it involves the Maxwells and Johnstones two great border names so people would watch it. My step mothers brother brought up that we Bells and Maxwells didnt get along historically, sarcastically of course at there wedding and noone got the reference except for me who had done some family history research. Anyways happy 2021 to you and I watch the videos. Great stuff man.
