Better of British and saying who cares about either the English and scots

@@roosterbooster6238 Better off as English and scots and not caring about Britain. Too vastly different countries with completely different cultures and both with a proud identity shouldve never been put under one flag.

@@CalumOH Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but Scottish and English cultures are pretty much indistinguishable. We eat mostly the same foods, we speak the same language, we watch the same TV shows and movies, read the same books, our high streets have the exact same shops, we celebrate the same holidays (except maybe saints days), we enjoy the same sports like rugby and football. And to be brutally honest if you walked through an English scheme or a Scottish scheme, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference 🇬🇧

@@RetroSegaMaster no the Scots are Celts the English are Germanic the only reason that lots of those are the same is because we're in the same country

Frequently they where allies though

yeh fun fact during the times of william wallace and robert bruce, one of the ways scotland pissed of england was by making friends with france. we actually did that alot throughout history

@hyndergogen we are the auld alliance kinda funny as well because we are the oldest alliance not longest but oldest

@hyndergogen Moreso based on the very real possibility that England would conquer you both. A war on two fronts makes that a virtually impossible task.

“Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots. Or Welshmen and Scots fans. Or Japanese and Scots. Or Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!” -Groundskeeper Willie

I thought he was trying to sound Japanese or Russian before I remembered I'm watching a video about Scotland. Blue, please, if you want to sound Scottish at least take the easy route and go for something more like Glaswegian...

It's not that bad, he just has trouble with some of the vowel and 'r' sounds (it isn't always rolled, but when it is it's only done as a half roll rather than a large exaggerated one). Trust me, my partner tries to do a Scottish accent around me all the time and, let me tell you, it fucking blows.

He sounded Jamaican by the end of it.

@@guardianofasgaard7469 true

The accent is better than some I've heard.

This is a more accurate description.

And “gay-lick” is Irish. Gah-lick is Scottish

What about when he skips over the Jacobite Rebellions as "wars for independence"

His pronunciation of inverness aswell

Isn’t it “Edin-bruh”? That’s how I’ve always pronounced it and I live there

@@jossephrhue8886 Depends where you're from, some parts say of scotland say "Edin-Brah" others "Edin-Bruh" and then some say "Edin Burah"

Wow. I know there’s a ton of Scots with Polish ancestry because of the War, but I think you’re the first Pole I’ve ever come across with Scottish blood. Cool. Human migration in action, as it should be.

He sounds more like a jamaican with constipation than a scotsman. It hurts my ancestry.

I'll sign up the audible if you use it forever

Is it just me or does he sound like a french man who learned english from a scot?

I thought he was a confused Dracula for a moment.

He sounded like a Russian trying to imitate a Jamaican.

I'm not Scottish and I was physically hurt by that accent.

@Skelly Arts same, I physically cringed at the accent

I'm also Scottish and I can fully agree

But he did have “Bawbag” in the speech bubble...

im of welsh descent on my moms side well im descended from welsh immigrants from the 1800s who came to the states as indentured servants.

Hate to shoot you down mate, but Robert the Bruce's heart is buried at Melrose Abbey with the inscription, "A noble hart may have no ease, gif freedom failye" on the gravestone. It is true that James Douglas was taking the heart on a tour of the holy land, and it is true that they never made it there, but there are no records of flying hearts, either his or any other. There is a legend that, before Douglas was killed in a surprise attack during this voyage, he threw the urn with the heart ahead of him and cried "Lead on, brave heart, I'll follow thee," but regardless of whether or not this is accurately, the heart was brought back to Scotland with Douglas' body. Both of which they buried near Melrose. Many years later (I think 700, but don't quote me on that), the urn was exhumed and interred within Melrose Abbey, as Robert the Bruce had originally desired.

I'm English and I'm trying to think of a counterpoint to this for own national pride... But........ Yeah

Thomas Edgerley Humans existed as a species for 250,000 years. Spent that whole time as apes screaming mad. First cultures arrive about 10,000 years at the most reaching. Sticks and stones. England exists for a few hundred years and now everyone is up to date. They arrived and upheld their treaties with he Indians... until Puritan Christians reach the land in mass exodus and literally every treaty was soiled after that hand over. Also carried diseases unknown to the world and made because of the cultural development and human life population allowing diseases on the tier of plagues to develop which would’ve happened anyway. Introduced live stock and work animals to the west, Africa where none were before of such size and quantity, look at how use the zebra and buffalo domestication is going compared to dogs, cows and so on A few hundred years too early for vaccines to be invented (can somewhat blame Christians for that with the burning of the Alexandria Library and the hoarding of knowledge which to this day exists in 52 miles of shelf space- of which is off access by even professionals) Also a somewhat fair deal and trade with colonies after the 1950’s which tagged with shitty understanding of resources resulted in a famine which swayed them to “fuck England rule” Also the war with America was the dupe the French to spend all their money supporting America which secured England as a global power until WW1 which is when it started to decline. Even slaves of Romans benefited by being conquered compared to what they lived in before. And thanks to capitalism you no longer need to store food, your store of food, supplies and so on can be kept in your pocket wherever you go. Look and Venezuela to see when the blood of a nation’s currency is infested by parasites. ‘The oil price drop did it’ they say, none of the other even more oil dependent nations were so affected, however the workers lowered and dropped as the price rises- they didn’t believe the price would ever stop rising or prepare for it. It now allows you to make trade with a paper card from one end of the world to the other and you to support people there.

@Afra The Cat Girl why?

@Afra The Cat Girl again, why is it rude?

@Afra The Cat Girl First of all he never "wasted" his time on this video, that time was everything but wasted. I am not mocking his accent, I'm making fun of it, I am laughing. His accent was not sarcastic, it was exaggerated, and he included himself doing that accent because he thought it would make people laugh, guess what, it worked. My comment is not complaining, it is stating a funny fact, Blue tried (or didn't I don't know) and it didn't work. He made an entire video about Scotland, he must have know that his accent doesn't sound Scottish, and as he's well aware of that he must have consciously included himself attempting to recreate it badly to make people laugh. Seriously, do you even know how complaining looks like? Because this ain't it. Okay next, this is not his channel, this channel is two people, Red and Blue. And lastly, stop being so overly sensitive, not everything is a hate comment. Don't waste *your* time by trying to scold people for making light hearted jokes you misinterpreted.

@Afra The Cat Girl lol okay I give up, trying to explain anything to you is pointless. Maybe when you grow up you'll understand the concept of a "light hearted joke". Also try to maybe turn off your RU-vid notifications if it bothers you so much you can't sleep?

What isn't talked about is that those MPs in the Scottish Parliament's First Bill that they passed was... a pay raise...

@@mmouse1886 With Labour in the majority at the time. One of their very first acts was to put together a committee / task force. To determine the EXACT blue for the Saltire. The investigation involved Labour MSPs with their friends / family / mistresses traveling all around the world to hot sunny countries (Staying in luxury accommodation of course) for years. Before it was eventually determined that the blue currently used by flag makers was the correct one....

I support the idea of a Scottish Parliament, but as long as under the British Monarchy. Aye, many identify as both British and Scottish. Deal with it.

@@maddoctorscientist9472 That is oddly an aggressive statement. No one has said anything about people not identifying as British and Scottish.
