Stockholm (where I live) is a city built on water (hence the name, which is derived from stock= log and holme= islet) and we have boats the cruise the waters in the city as an alternative to buses and subways. They offer this service from late spring to autumn. Rest of the year is cold and icy .
Please google - great fire of... and enter a city. Every major City has had a great fire in the 1800's. This is not a coincidence and the fires had a specific purpose to hide the truth of free energy and advanced technology. The Elites are the most evil people on this planet
Many houses in the centre of cities in Scotland were constructed of wood rather than stone, so caught light quite easily. It took a while for the city fathers to change how buildings were constructed. Thank you so much for watching the video.
The Red Wedding was inspired by not only the Black Dinner, but also the Glencoe Massacre. (I’m a McDonald descendant and still find myself looking suspiciously at Campbells.)
Another really interesting video. The Black Dinner was also the inspiration for the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. I always remember my dad telling me, when I was a kid, that one of the Douglas' was thrown out of a window in Stirling Castle, and their body landed in what is now called the Douglas Garden.
@@scotlandshistory My dad certainly enjoyed telling me some of the darker stories from Scottish history, even when I was a wean. Thank you for the video.
Blimey, what was this - the Wild West... but seriously, very interesting. Yup there were some formidable folks around in Scotland at the time. We could do with them now really...
Lol, handfasting a Scottish tradition, its a ancient pagan one that was once used all over the UK, Ann Hathaway used it to, after all isn't where tieing the Knot saying comes from..when will Scottish stop doing this appropriation stuff, its like Gaelic and the bloody bag pipes they say is their own ancient tradition to... Gaelic coming from Ulster in the Dal Riada invasion and settlers and the Pipes are from Anatolia once the furthest reach of the Keltoi tribes more than likely brought into Brittania from Roman Auxiliarys or Greek scribes accompanying them...
My mum born 1916 had a thing for searching out family and their graves. She discovered in the 1980's the someone other than her relative was burried in the family plot. As far as I know this was her first visit to Nellfield Cemetery, when I was a small child mum would take me through the graveyard besides the Duthie Park, she'd show me my grandparents grave there was nothing spooky in her interest and like everyone else wished to know where her family came from. The Nellfield Cemetery incident, mum went to the person in charge of the graves. She complained about this imposter in our family grave. Knowing my mum, I could almost imagine her telling the man to dig up the imposter and put them elsewhere! My Mum and her sister had a family pedigree which listed all those related to us. It was commissioned back in the 1800's and included were not just very detailed family trees naming just about every one married into the family. There are several family tree's as we are familiar with them plus stories about the people were included from interviews with family members. It traces back what would be my Great Uncle x 6 generations, Alexander (Sandy) Kinnarid who was born in Gamrie and ended up in Banff as a herdie a young male tended with looking after cows. on this paticular dat Sandy was tasked to take the cows down to the river Devron to water them. Like many others he was illiterate so he used a stick and would mark a notch with his knife on the stick for each cow he had. This dat he stood in awe watching boats of red coat soldiers coming over the river from McDuff. He missed a soldier that came up behind him, upon seeing 16 notches on the stick he arrested Sandy as a traitor he was taked to the Duke of Cumberland who upon hearing the tale declared sandy a traitor and had him hanged from the nearest tree. This was on April 13/14th 1746 two to three days before the battle at Culloden Moor.
That's shocking. He would've been unable to defend himself against them. So very sad what happened to him. Thanks for all the information regarding Nellfield and Allenvale. I think your mum would've been quite right. Thank you so much for watching the video.
PRETERNAURAL Royals & Elites are none for summoning entitles and evoking demons into people sometimes multiple times to perfectly possess a person through satanic rituals for thousands of years, they are truly evil.
I’ve been a number of times when I was younger and on the tour they tell you about the ghosts. I don’t remember them telling us about Jack and know they definitely didn’t tell us about what they did to him …or the little boy.😢
Yikes, some scary stuff there! I've heard of Glamis Castle being haunted but didn't know it's that scary! Still, it's a very old castle so a lot has happened there...
@@scotlandshistory I wasn't able to film inside, as it is still a private home, but the interior is stunning. They even take you into the chapel that is haunted by the Grey Lady, and tell her story. I do need to explore Angus more.
I remember the cheapside fire, and the woolworths in Argyle street. Another at an upholstery factory in Parkhead where some of the people died stuck behind barred windows, truly shocking.
I'm hoping to do the Cheapside fire at some stage, as well as the Parkhead one. It was horrific what happened to those poor people. Thank you so much for watching the video.
I spent a few days in Eyemouth in early June 24. It is a lovely place and the Widows and Bairns memorial is a beautiful and moving piece of sculpture commemorating this very sad event. Thank you very much for this video.
That was fascinating. It was just so easy for fires to start and spread. I wonder what became of the poor hapless souls who started them? I think even the apprentice deserved some mercy, but imagine having to live with that.
A very interesting video. My mother told me gypsies would visit the field near her village in Longston , Edinburgh each summer. They sharpened knives, shears and repaired pots etc. My greatgrand mother came from Kirk Yelthom, her father had the smithy for fifty years, up till 1900.
She sounds like a really interesting woman. I do hope that she found the peace and simplicity that she was obviously looking for. A "wandering disposition". That sounds like me.
Given the fact that people looked so much older hundred years ago, there is no way she was 45 in this picture. And if she truly had rheumatism she would have shunned the cold. I know this because my cousin (who is rheumatic) moved from Sweden (where we live) to France
I agree. I think she was in her late 20s or 30s. Rheumatism is a painful condition but the west coast of Scotland is warm due to the Gulf Stream. Rheumatism is certainly painful in cold weather. Thank you so much for watching x
❤ i had never heard of this before and it was extremely interesting. It does seem poltergeist are more often attached or around young people its amazing thank you x
@@scotlandshistory, thank you for posting. My husband and I spent two glorious months in Scotland (mostly in Edinburgh) during Covid and were treated so well and learned so much. We respect Scotland very much.
