I dispise that all of the Scottish coutesses an barons being interviewed speak with an upper class English accent. You see the same with modern clan chiefs. Proscription an parcels of rouges did a number on the Scottish nobility.
Scotland was duped by the cronies of the then Duke of Hamilton, passing the Act in Scotland when the Scots Parliament was adjourned and not in attendance Hence the Burns poem ‘such a parcel of rogues in a nation’
It was never a union it was a stich up from the start and ut was centuries ago i think time has moved on sins then tim for big change for scotland ireland & wales 😊😊😊😊😊
Queen Anne is responsible she chose 13 commissioners mainly Conservative Lords to negotiate the signing of the articles of the treaty, these negotiations were not done face to face and done behind closed doors, in fact the people of Scotland were kept in the dark with a news blackout of the treaty signing or the results until they returned to Westminster. In laymen terms today, the signing of articles of the treaty was fundamentally flawed in everyway.
I am thankful to Paul Sherwen for having taken the time, in 1996, to reply to my letter asking how to become a professional cyclist. He firmly instructed me to attend university before trying to get into the pro ranks. Well, I did it the other way around. And, having first ridden with Raleigh and then a French team in my 20s, I qualified as a mine engineer at 34, actually, spending some time looking at the gold mine into which Paul had invested. Thank you to him and Phil for the years of inspiring and informative commentary on the greatest sporting event in the world.
You'll not see this on the BBC! The more I learn the more I'm determined to see Scottish Independence reinstated, for my children and future grandchildren. No amount of SNP baaad smear in the MSM will change that, it only bring more undecided voters to the conclusion that independence is normal. The Independence movement is NOT the SNP. England is the only country in the world afraid of its own independence, telling lies to the gullible to retain its strangle hold on Scotlands wealth and resources. Tick tock yoons! 🏴
As Burns said Sic a parcel o’ rogues this true version of history was not allowed to be taught in our schools, I only learned of this, as an adult, through my own research. We were robbed then & it had continued ever since.
This was & still is the definitive history of Caledonia One of the 1st things that I watched on the fledgling channel 4 at the time. It was never released on video or dvd unfortunately. X
Sir Billy Connolly was on Radio 4 this morning speaking very movingly of his Parkinson’s - and still with his trade mark good humour. Scotland’s finest comic! ❤
Absolutely brilliant - this is episode 5 of a 24 part series Scotland’s Story. Just think if it hadn’t been for the French vacillation on military front things could have turned out very differently. The whole celibacy thing was hilarious 😂
lots missed out and context not explained, quite poor in fact .the ban on clan mcgregor was lifted in 1661 by charles 2,in recognition of their services to the stuart cause in civil wars ..next James 6th is always blamed for the ulster problem ......wrong again!! the english parliament wanted full scale war in ireland when the irish rising took place, but james managed a compromise to avoid mass killing , ....i DONT like the way you nit pick on james ..... never a good word , james brought peace to the uk , the 16th cen was a terrible time in scotland with wars ,regents and extreme religion on both sides ..........james chose the middle road, also plenty gaels fought for the stuarts later ,in all the wars /risings,so the stuarts must have been liked in some way by the gaels .this video is one sided
Where can we find a more positive video on auld jamie the 6th? Someone did something right for the gaels at some point as so many went to fight for james great grand sons, the kinds o'er the water.
Greetings Robbie! I messaged you a couple of years back to ask if you would kindly be able to post the two jacobite -related episodes, 'An Imperfect match' & 'The '45 and its aftermath'.My own off air recordings from '84 are sadly a bit incomplete...here's hoping! Thank you in advance.....Sincerely, John K.
Seems plenty of Scots were more than willing to take their 30 pieces of silver. Or maybe they were just pragmatists and knew the benefits of Union outweighed all else. I see the nobility (still clinging to their titles despite their distaste for union) have much to say. Perhaps too much. Still, the money was too good to turn down. Patriotism eh!
The Reformation is the foundation for religious freedom we're barely hanging onto today. Read John Knox's own account before assuming the grudges of others. Same goes for the Puritans. Rule of thumb if you want to understand history. Read as close to original writings yourself. Anything else is regurgitated through someone else's worldview.
England, Wales and N Ireland are one Kingdom….Scotland is the only other Kingdom…the United Kingdom. Scotland is half of the Union. Scotland is also one of the richest countries in Europe! However the money from Scotland’s resources is taken to London and used for the benefit of England. #EndTheUnion….now!
John Knox the Heretic, the Usurper, The Butcher, the Tyrant, the mass murderer, the hater of holy women, the calvinist mason, John Knox anti christos and Holocaust reaper of souls, shame on him and all of the Scottish nobles that abandoned the true faith, monarch and their own people.
1-3) All Christians subject themselves to one of four authority traditions under the Son of the Living God: Catholic/Eastern Orthodox, High Protestantism (Anglican/Lutheran, etc.,) American Christianity (Reformed, Non-Denominational, Evangelical), or their own private Opinion. Of all these "churches," only the Catholic Church has the spiritual and historical commission back to the Apostles and Jesus Christ. Private Opinion is condemned in 2nd Peter, and thus as an Athiest would say, you are a product of your religious environment. 2) The Bible and Infallible Judgement. It is a historical fact the official closed canon of Scripture came in the second half of the 4th Century (Councils of Hippo, Carthage, Rome.) If you grant Scripture is "the infallible" word of God, you must give the Church Bishops "infallible judgment" by the Holy Spirit that picked the specific books of the canon. You cannot have one without the other. If you reject the 73 book closed canon based upon the argument of Martin Luther, then you are rejecting a closed canon of nearly 1100 years. If you accept any non-Catholic translation such as the King James Version, you still must grand the men who compiled that translation infallible judgment, which directly refutes the Protestant Position. Secondly, what Bible translation do you use, and is it a good translation? An excellent argument for an English translation is the King James Version (but not 1611); however, the Douay Rheims is a better version translated over 41-42 years. Thus what version do you give authority to, and why, and do you grant "infallible" judgment to the translators. If you don't, then your translation is not safe. 3) The 60-second Position of the Church for Salvation is a confession of belief and baptism, then love the Lord Jesus and keep his commandments: (Acts 8: "Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached unto him, Jesus. [36] And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized? [37] And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. [38] And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him. [39] And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more." "If you love me, keep my commandments."
Name independent countries that are part of the EU? All countries that are independent are ruled by nationalists. Ask an independent country to give up their sovereignty and join Westminster. You will be told to fuck right off. Independence is crucial for Scotland, sadly we still have too many traitors who value money over the wellbeing of their fellow countryman.
That is the plan of this SNP, not the plan of most Scots. EFTA is a much better deal for Scotland! The EU is a warmongering entity now and have captured the EU citizens tightly!
@@KizzieWizwarms my heart to see ppl who think the same as me for the EU. Or any "union" for that matter. Soviet, federal, someone always gets screwed over. Alba gu Brath!!! 🦄⚔️🏴⚔️🦄
You are mistaken. Scotland had an extensive history of military alliances, treaties and cultural exchange with European states, notably France, and was trading in the continent since before the days of the Hanseatic League. In 1707, Scotland had already been an organised kingdom for 860+ years.
@@SpiritEngine and yet scotland was poor, it's precisely why they joined the union.. france absolutely didn't do horseshit to help scotland in it's hour of need, it was the union that pulled them out of poverty
