Lawlessness is still living within the upper class and rarely held to account for every criminal act known to man

Its amazing how many of these crazy relatives get locked away all by themselves.I wonder how the kid died..he wouldve been 18.I couldnt imagine how disturbing it would be,living with an insane child locked up in yr own house.Worlds 1st purpose built parliment eh ,did not know that.Thanx eerie🙂

@eerieedinburgh Год назад

My pleasure 😊 He died in a place called Londesburgh, East Yorkshire i think. Couldnt find a cause though.

@barbarat5729 9 месяцев назад

Please stop calling him "crazy" and "insane." It was barbaric to lock him away. I imagine it made things much worse, and I don't believe a child who had been locked up would have a clue how to cook anything. Gruesome as the story is, I don't believe it happened.

@@eerieedinburgh I remember my dad asking me if I fancied a day off school (I was 15 or 16 at the time). So, dad’s idea of a day off school was me lugging bags of plaster up to where he was working, repairing ceilings & cornice work in the old parliament building. To be fair, the reason why he couldn’t do it was he was starting his inevitable slide with asbestos related Mesothelioma. Can’t say that we went downstairs & can’t recall anything too creepy there in the upper part of the building.

There seem to be several Scottish great houses with this sort of story attached to them. So was this a common way of dealing with insane children of the gentry? I know the song, 'the foeman's steel we did disdain, secure in valour's station, but by English gold.....' but didn't know it was composed by Robbie Burns. Thanks for widening my knowledge.

@eerieedinburgh Год назад

I mentioned in another comment how, until a few years ago, i thought this was just a legend, but yeah its true and people were dealt with that way, which beggars belief.

@scottw.3258 11 месяцев назад

Those with a standing in society could not be seen to have any weaknesses and so any family member(not only children) who developed or were born with any mental disorder or indeed physical deformities, were locked away (out of sight, out of mind). Having someone who was seen as broken in the family would bring shame to the family. In many instances the poor folk would simply kill such family members at as early an age as possible, for the same reason. It was bad enough to be poor, never mind to se seen to have a mentally ill or deformed child under your roof. The Rich were in a fortunate position, in that they could still afford to feed such a person, the poor had little to no choice.

@noreenclark2568 Год назад

One more tale of horror in old Edinburgh, but why the law of the day saw the need not to do anything because of who his father was beggars belief, the son murdered , cooked and ate a kitchen worker because the family and thereof knew he was mad. Had the boot been on the other foot .... Need I say more. ?

Money and power talks, sadly.

@JohnDavies-cn3ro Год назад

@@eerieedinburgh My sentiments exactly. Come away south a couple of hundred miles, and you'll find quite a few examples of similar doings here in England. Remember the border Douglases, the reivers who were caught, hung and then tried in court and convicted, and yes, in that order?

My mum worked in Queensburry hospital and the ghost stories and the one about the wee black boy hes not black coz he got burned alive by lord hattons son was not all there he was the servant and forgot to lock the door and got oot and done what happend

@eerieedinburgh Год назад

Did she experience anything?

@GregorM420 5 месяцев назад

Yes she did meny times one time she could smell smoke in the toliet and she never smelled any smoke when she first went in and it was like someone was always watching her one day she told me she time one of the old pasion to the toliet and the woman keeped saying to my maw can you tell that little boy to go away he keeps watching me. And some times a would pop in after skool over from queensberry house and the old men's hospital think it was called Pam more skool and a spoke to an old woman and she said see would see solders walking through the walls and you could hear the solders horse's from the stables at the front of the house. Soon as you went in to queensberry house you could always feel how cold and era it and will still be that way?

Yep, he was 2 years older at 12. Must have either had some strength on him or take him by surprise. 2 years at that age is quite a difference.
