How did a twisted method of execution become our national flag? 

Thank you to The Hoof Gp for the recommendation, Scotland Unplugged is brilliant. Please keep up the great work Robert

Love listening to you tell about Scotland. I was raised in a small town called Scotland Neck in North Carolina USA. Outside the town is a large river and its has what we call a neck or a meander loop. It was settled by Scottish so called Scotland Neck. My great-great grandfather (Samuel McKenzie) was a boot maker in Edinburgh and came to South Carolina around earlier 1800's. Thank you for bringing Scotland to me. 👍 say hi to Grame and family

I’m so glad you’re posting more videos……love your content 😍

Love your history lessons!! Such beautiful views. Thank you for posting

"Angry painted ginger hobbits?" ROTFLMAO

Thank you for more Scottish history. Scotland is a beautiful country. 🙂❤️

Your history lessons are fantastic! Thank you.

Love your tales and your telling. ❤️👍👍 It is amazing that as much of the church building is still standing.

This is awesome! Such a beautiful old building. We have nothing like this in America. Love your videos. Thank you for the upload.

My grandfather was of Scot heritage. He was so proud of that and passed that pride on. The history you share is so much fun and so well told.

Hello from New Scotland!❤(Nova Scotia)

Incredible history and a beautiful country!! Thank you for another great video!

Thank you-I enjoy your videos

Thank you for taking us along while you tell the story. Scotland is breathtaking.

Enjoy your videos. Like the entertainment value as much as the history!

Awesome video. I love listening to you tell stories.

Another great video. Keep them coming!

Great job, as usual! Really love these videos!

Thank you for your arial and street views for those of us who can't get there just now, as well as educating us about Scottish history, mth and legend!

Love your videos! You're a great storyteller! TEXAS Loves ya!!

Hi Robert! This is hysterical! Always nice to see your gorgeous assistant. And the kids. :) Thanks for teaching us about the flag. I recently watched "The Priory School" which has young Lord Saltire being kidnapped. River? *chuckle.* That's a creek.

Came from the hoof gp channnel, but enjoying The history!!!

I just stumbled over this episode that I hadn't seen before. Just an amazing work - more so that here in Spain, they are crazy about the crucification for Jesús right now - and you have such a nice way of referring to it. 😂

I just happened upon your channel and I’m so delighted! Such an amazingly beautiful Country you hail from and I would absolutely cherish the opportunity to visit there someday! I love your channel so far as well! Blessings to you from the town of McDonough, State of Georgia USA! ❤🙏🏻🕊️♾️

Well I watch Hoof GP and he mentioned your channel, so here I am. Interesting stuff,

great video, very educational and extremely interesting

I came from the hoof GP and I love your story telling your channel is very interesting and I plan on binge watching all your videos

Brilliant Bob. Loved it!

Love your videos!!

Another interesting, informative and entertaining video!

The hoof gp sent me 😁

Such interesting history. Thank you

Whenever I see St Andrew's cross over our American skies, I do think of Scotland, but no portents or omens associated with it, just warm feelings.😊

When I went to St. Andrew’s - not for to golf but to see the ruined cathedral - they said that female enrollment jumped tremendously when it was reported that Prince William was going there - so it was the other way around - she trapped him!

Angry ginger Hobbits 😂😂😂😂😂 (must be my ancestors). You are a true Bard, Sir, and I thank you again for a wonderful tale.

Thank you--I like your style!

The Hoof GP sent me over. You did a great job, very interesting video. Thanks

Didnt see notification on this one..glad you did it.

The Scottish Bard! Good name 🤔. Love your content AND your narration!

awesomely great again!!

From the Hoof GP, so glad i fo7nd you.

I am never gonna see the flag of Scotland without thinking about this 😬😂

Brilliant, fun and interesting!

awsome story! i think it would be a good idea to put these videos on spotify since your videos are far more audio based. Keep up the good work!

That English King was a proper git!

I love the old viking/saxon naming conventions: Harold Bluetooth, Edward Longshanks, etc. Pity we don’t have it today, although I’m not confident about the historical resonance of ‘Trevor the Procrastinator’, ‘Kimberley the Perpetually Late for Meetings’ or ‘Wayne Never Puts the Seat Down’. 😂😂😂

"Half-inched the relics"!!!

I love your videos ❤

Another wonderful episode. Gotta love ginger painted hobbits!

Related subject: The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951. With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day ! So in the same BIBLICAL year: • 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ) • Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951. • Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated. i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 ! The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar. So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland. Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ. In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland ! Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”. When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process. The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later. Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above. When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???

I learn a lot of history from this channel. Are you a teacher?

As I live in Dunedin New Zealand I know Dunedin exists coz some of you left Scotland to start a better version (i think they wanted to be stricter religion wise) in New Zealand hence the name Dunedin which is apparently gaelic for Edinburgh, that is what they say here, so maybe you could unplug the facts here and do an episode on that? (of course the gold rush happened and buggered that up, but we are pretty Scottish here, our rugby team is called the Highlanders, we have a green belt here made by a Scots but he ended up in gaol coz he abducted a young girl and took her back to Scotland by saying it was ok with the parents or something and it was not he got caught, but the green belt is still here circling the city with green bush we have an octagon, moray place etc etc so we are connected to your homeland!!! i just love yr channel

I am supposedly descendant of King Fergus mor Mc Erc which is the direct ancestor of Robert the Bruce. Don't know for sure how true it is it's just a family legend as of right now. I would love to find out for sure.

The same way a twisted method of execution became a symbol of Christianity. the cross.

When you're outside, you're breaking up can't make out what you're saying

Okay,,, but I want to know about the golf,,I REALLY want to know about the GOLF!! Next,, really St. Mungo?? Would anyone take a country seriously who's patron saint is named Mungo?? Andrew was a much safer bet. Lastly, I envy you living in a lovely country with such amazing history. ps/ you're funnier than your brother,, but don't tell him that, I wouldn't want to burst his bubble 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Please linger longer on the landscape. Give us a few seconds of pondering what you said.

I have often wondered why Christianity didn't pick a statue of a hanged man or a man burning at the stake as their icon. Maybe too many tricky details.

youre comment about kate and wills is the wrong way round....she stalked him by changing unies to be at st andies to get him

so your GRAMS BRO? Hum
