[@Wee_Langside]

Hi Bruce good to see you back. Background for me

[@Andy-m3l]

To be fair Bruce, it was simply the fact you'd posted a video that inspired me to click on it. But if you're going to insist I would prefer more background. Thank you so much ol' bean 😊

Fair enough, I'll keep posting😜

I'm more curious about the background of King James I's murder, to be honest. As brutal and as gruesome as that execution is, the history is fascinating to me.

[@peterscrafton5212]

I admire your videos, which are both educational and entertaining. Only my lack of mobility prevents me from applying to join your eleven-day tour. Thank you. Were it to be possible, I should like to learn more about the background AND the execution, please

I love learning about the background of events. It helps me understand how they came about. I learned some of this in college, but you are much more easy to understand than some university lecturers.

[@elizabethparker2017]

Background. And I agree with everyone else's nice comments. Your videos are great! Scotland is high on my list of places to visit. I'll get there eventually, but in the meantime, I get to watch your videos! Thanks!

[@benjaminmaybury4238]

Background please. I was the guy who saw you at the Parliament and briefly said hi. I’m glad to see the video you were working on. Love your work.

Clicked on out of curiosity, really happy to find a very well presented video. Nice wk fella

[@paulhooton6261]

I've never come across you before but I'm impressed. Yours is a very entertaining and informative style. I like that you don't try to sugar-coat the horror and brutality of those times. So, for anyone who yearns for a return to the good old days, there weren't any!

Hi Bruce , nice to see you back after your break. A background episode would be great, thank you.

[@nancyholcombe8030]

A new video from my favorite bard of history! That's why I clicked this on! I've missed my Saturday story but hope you had a fantastic birthday! From what I've seen in the comments, I think your pointing out the grusomeness of this execution with sounds of it curdled more than a few stomachs! It made me thankful that we don't think that such a thing as public execution is necessary anymore. Of course, the local newscast tells me that others think we do. I'll look at both of the other videos as anything you put out is worth watching! Please take care now! May God bless you and yours. 😊

[@gryffydd42]

I’d like both eventually, but would like Background first, please. Thanks again for more learning Scottish history. And very glad I got to meet you, Bruce, in Vancouver, WA this past summer.

Apologies Bruce but I saw Celtic deliver a 3-0 execution of Rangers recently. Watching the Rangers analysts explaining their teams loss makes that the most brutal execution in Scottish history. Excellent video as always. Canadian fan of the channel.

You mentioned the Proclaimers in one video. THANKS. I'm a contemporary of theirs but was, er, studying Greek and Latin in those days instead of watching MTV. Anyway-skipping a lot of narrative-I looked up their music and can't thank you enough.

Background please Bruce. Thanks for another fascinating story.

[@Hiltok]

Lovely seeing the doggos playing behind you at the end, Bruce. The reign of James VI certainly was consequential, uniting the Scottish and English crowns and starting the plantation of Ulster. It's hard to warm to many of these historical leaders when their methods were so damaging to common folk.

Hi Bruce. I clicked because I wanted to see another of your history vids. Keep up the good work. Bye!

[@resourcedragon]

I would have thought that with such a brutal execution there would be a good chance that the victim would die before they'd finished. In particular, if he were left out at night, there's the risk of hypothermia. Shock can also kill. The violence of the process makes it likely that a major vein or artery could be ruptured. Dare I say it, the fact that poor Walter Stuart survived so long suggests that he was in very good physical condition before they started killing him.

[@chipjohnson9283]

Execution. If your speaking about the Wigtown Martyrs, then Yes!!! Also, are you planning a Halloween in Scotland video for next month? Spent Halloween in Edinburgh in 2019 and it was the best! 💚

[@gailsears2913]

Well, not exactly what I was expecting for my breakfast entertainment/enlightenment! I kept wondering at what point the prisoner would have passed out from the pain. Anyway, background.

[@alansmithee8831]

A'reyt Bruce. Background. I commented before that not all English are so keen to bow and scrape. My native Yorkshire has many Robin Hood place names. Our US cousins point to the Magna Carta, from that era as a confirmation that everyone is equal. Our ancestors accepted Scottish kings too, so long as they did not start overruling Parliament. Then it was execution time.

Hey Bruce. I took another lotto ticket, I am determined to annoy yer one more time yet, and even buy ye a dram...don't git yer hopes up. It seems we humans, Scots and others, are never so happy as when making other folks miserable. We are no different even today. Aroha

You forgot to mention the 'Warriston Horror' of 1600, when the young wife of the Laird of Warriston was beheaded on 'The Maiden', our predecessor of the Guillotine, her nurse was burnt alive at the same time, and the man who was paid to kill the Laird of Warriston was 'broken on the wheel', the first to be executed that way and NOT the last!
