The Animated History of Scotland 

Suibhne Please mate, do an Animated History of England!

Suibhne q

Dude, make a video for England

Suibhne, Love your videos! Nice animations. Do start doing videos on countries outside Europe too!

Suibhne you left out Mary queen of scots

I'm English and it pisses me off when Americans refer to British or the UK as England as it doesn't egknolage the part the other groups play

What... the hadrian's wall that is in england...

@@chiefgilray lol yes and Scotland

@@Nozylatten mainly in England but "old Scotland"

@@chiefgilray what's old Scotland? Mate you are talking out your arse lmao I am Scottish my self. There is part of hadrians wall less than 5 miles from me at an old Fort in twechar. It's called bar hill roman Fort. Stop lying bud.

You mean you can call Scots British? Because that part confused me. In any case it was a good video and you can do some text edit for stuff like that.

Sara Samaletdin Don't call scottish people British because alot of people hate the union of Great Britain in Scotland

It's okay, you may have mixed up British and English, but you didn't make the world-ending mistake of calling us English, so you'll live :D.

@Mark Lynch, I know a lot of Scottish that support the union.

It's about 50/50 right now, so you'll hear a lot of support from both sides.

or the jacobites and bonni Prince charlie. 1745-46. jacobites was the Scottish clans that faught for our independence and our rightfull king but no one ever mentions the jacobites uprising. they play a huge part in Scottish history just as much as Wallace and bruce. but it's funny how the jacobites rebel army was named the 45 and in 2014 only 45% voted yes and was named the 45. 45 is a fighting number

@@chriscarr6884 I thought the Jacobites were fighting for a unified Britain, not a independent Scotland.

Correction: Jacobites weren't exclusively Scottish clans, but a large number of Jacobites did come from the Catholic Highland clans. Jacobites were just supporters of the Catholic Stuart Dynasty: the name coming from the Latin for James II & VII (Jacobus). There were many Jacobites and Jacobite sympathisers across the British isle in Ireland and England as well as in Scotland. It's interest to discover that the Government troops that fought against the Jacobites in 1745 were actually Scottish from the lowlands, whom were primarily Protestant and had a distinct culture compared to the Highlanders.

Scotticus so if I’m Scottish, catholic and want independence am I a Jacobite?

@@itz_justj6117 Jacobites were more concerned with a Stuart Royal dynasty of Great Britain rather than an independent Scotland

The monsters you’re referring to are of course the Glaswegians.

if you like that sort of stuff then Scotland has allot of mythical creatures, demons etc. Mostly told in stories but as a Scotsman I allways had beliefs and been open minded about the loch Ness monster or nessi for short. just with photos that have been shown in the past, only the photos you can't edit anyway

And we invented tge TV

@@athing9916 and the phone but of course everyone knows it as a British Invention taking almost all credit from Scotland and giving it to England

@@josephinestalin7414 well tbh when i looked up who invented the phone i got three answers one was born in Edinburgh one in italy and one in new york so ur right that England gad nothing to do with it but we didnt do everything

Scotland did nothing for my Royal Zulu house. My ancestors warded off the English in the 1800s

Aside from inventions Scots brought a lot of economic and cultural benefits to places like Canada and Australia

I'm more upset he completely ignored the Scottish Enlightenment and the 'Athens of the North'

Union of crowns occured in 1603, in the 17th century.

Also Shetland and Orkney became part of Scotland in 1472, not 1367

- ‘Scotland voted to remain the rest voted to stay’ - except NI - The map of the 2011 election suggests it was UK-wise. It was just Scottish elections. - The use of the polling about a referendum to be held in the next two years is, well, not ideal And there’s no mention of any Scottish philosophers and inventors in the bit about enlightenment/industrial revolution!!

Just watch tv show Reign people. Is about Mary Queen of Scots.

Think it depends which Scots you call British, I know a few who might be a bit touchy about it.

J Macc exactly. Even though they are on the island of great Britain. British just had connotations of English it seems

no just don't call us british

That's your problem mate, Stop thinking about England all the time, you're not that bad off and we aren't all a bunch of evil little englanders that chase off foreigners with torches and pitchforks. Just be Scottish and do your Scottish thing and stop comparing yourself to us,you're doing alright in the grand scheme of things. Did we send in the police/army to smash Scottish voters heads in like the Spanish did in Catalonia when the you had your referendum? No we did not. We're not actually the arse holes of the world, funnily enough. And we don't bang on at the Germans for that bit of nastiness we had to go through, twice with them (other than singing a silly song at football)

Scotland has it better than england in the union, we contribute much more than you but scotland still gets more benefits such as free prescriptions etc

@@sausagejockyGaming 😂😂 Scotland pays more tax per head of capita that’s why we have free university and prescriptions, England benefits from Scottish trade in fishery, whiskey and oil just to name a few so your theory is bullshit all that saying ‘EnGlAnD fUnDs ScOtLaND’ which is what you’re implying is a lot of crap because you wouldn’t want use to stay in the union if it cost England money

@@MyVanir wait until he gets his sword and bag pipes and gathers the L A D S

Oh no :(

chatting shit, 52% wanted to stay, but its biased because it doesnt match your opinion right? freak

cjonesabc Nope, YouGov isn't biased and they find that Scots don't support independence. There are plenty of unbiased polls that show results on either sides. I also think it would be wise to realise that even YouGov stated there is a growing support in urbanised cities like Abderdeen, Livingston, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Dumfermline all in support of independence.

cjonesabc But hey, I guess if it shows they support independence then it must be wrong! Even though Scots voted for a party with a manifesto call a referendum if it is needed. Even though Scots have overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU and many, as said, support the EU over the UK; and will not make any stance over the referendum until it is either happening or Brexit negotiations have initiated to find our standing right?

I see why we had two world wars with you. Divide and conquer, am i right?

Josh Parry economic failure is what you're thinking of. The fact is that the British isles are best and strongest United.

Interesting, you're the first Welsh person I've heard from who has expressed support for independence from the UK/England. I've heard people talk of a "Gaelic Union" - either a country or partnership - between independent Scotland and Unified Ireland, but you're the first I've heard to suggest Wales also being a member.

@@freddiet.rowlet525 It's called a Celtic union

@@scotlandballmapping3378 Ah, see I wasn't sure whether "Celts" referred to a specific tribe or to the peoples generally, so I used Gaelic to try to avoid offending people

Your way was pissing me off I'm sorry pal, Scottish people are British and there's no changing that till you get independence

+gamestunts yes you're right. I should have caught that in the edit

+gamestunts I think I meant to say English. Typo :)

I am Scottish I do not want to be called british and I do not regard my self as british ! if someone called me british I'd tell them I'm not british I'm Scottish ...

But the independence wars, Jacobite uprisings and, genuine hate of England and the fact we also support whoever plays England in a match of football never the less when Westminster voted for the removal of nearly all Scottish regiments such as the Black Watch, the Gordons and the Cameronians each time we were in uproar does that prove that we adore being British or the does it prove we dislike England and Britain over what they decided for us rather than what we decided for ourselves.

Peter as much as I agree with you about how the English ruined the regiments, the history is still spoke of and many of the regiments do still exist and operate such as the 52nd Lowland Regiment which still operate to this day, also the history is still with the army especially the Royal Regiment of Scotland where the 3rd Battalion of the Black Watch still operates thankfully under 3 SCOTS. So I have to disagree with you on the histories being ripped from the books per say. As for the tartans what you state is entirely untrue Stewart tartan is formally used by all of the SCOTs however they still posses their previous tartan as does the 3rd battalion of the Black Watch which they wear upon ceremony.

sorry to correct you mate... The Bruce "restored" our independence not "won" it

Yes, it seems like this guy just watched Braveheart recently or smth LOL

+Ahura Mazda and what are you watching, the Tudors? Robin Hood? Das Boot? or are you just reading Mein Kampf?

Karim Moukaouame hmm not really I prefer the stories about king Robert like the one about the cave and spider. Fun fact William Wallace's dad was born at the site of my local fire station!

You'll be pleased to hear that the Scots have a deep respect for the Polish, as many took refuge in Scotland during WW2 and made great contributions in the war effort

We were at war with Norway?

Ryan Mckie476, when I was researching the history of my Scottish roots, I saw that after the Viking ages, Norway claimed some those Northwest peninsula and islands in Scotland. At that time most of the highlands and lowlands were united under the kingdom of Alba/Scotland. So they said, let’s get them back. So I guess they declared war on Norway. There was the Historic Battle of Largs in where Scotland won. Scotland invaded the rest of Norway’s land and then the Norwegian king died, and the heir of the Norwegian throne made piece with Scotland and gave Scotland its stuff back.

JohnnyAppleSeed 49 yes but that war was so short the Scots lost automatically England destroyed the vikings Scotland helped what not enough

gamers55, the war was short yes, but the Norwegian King died and thus the war ended. It’s really a stalemate, but the Scots won the battle of Largs, which was the major battle so they are credited to winning.

_becca _ Yeah... That can means you can be a redcoat... But, English were like Germans on Jews for you, that was creepy... I respect you old friend... Eeeer, HEY, YOU FOUGHT AGAINST FRANCE IN NAPOLEONIC WARS!!? I WILL TEACH YOU A LESSON TRAITOR!!! XD

I'm from Northumberland and hate being called British and so do many other English people and also those stereotypes are of the southern English.

Don't know any Scot who would take kindly to being called "British". Especially in Dundee as it is a Yes city and proud.

_becca_ I'm not going to as my first time in Scotland I got stuck in a riot in a shop...

YES!!! Exactly! I also ALWAYS try and put my country as Scotland because it is, but every single online thing insists that it's Great Britain or the UK... :(

Exactly

I can

really ? must be an American you guys talk so bloody slow its unreal

0.75 speed with subtitles lol

James i’m from England and I agree! Britain is MORE!

Neil Cole don't call us British either , Scottish is fine

Well, the reason I say that is because our citizenship is British. To call us English is just factually inaccurate, and ignores our separate Scottish cultural identity. But I figure 300 years of history makes being British part of that identity, so it's okay. No?

Neil Cole we are born in scotland, so we are scottish, thats our nationality

Well, yeah mate I agree. It's just that we're British too. If you're Scottish you have a British/EU passport, if you're Scottish you can vote in British elections, If you're Scottish you hold British citizenship, if you're Scottish you pay British taxes, if you're Scottish you live by laws made in the British Parliament as well as the Scottish Parliament, if you're Scottish you are protected by the British military. Scottish MPs sit in the British parliament, our head of government is the British Prime minister (I think about 7 of which were Scottish). The Scottish government has powers that have been devolved by the British Government. Even the heir to the British throne has the title "the Duke of Rothesay!" Is it not possible to be two things at the same time?

We're born on the island of Great Britain as well though. You can be both, just as much as you'd consider a Catalan Spanish or a Bavarian German.

How many of you lot want independence?

Beetlejuice good question. As you know, the last vote was 45-55. However, the Yes camp made out that Scotland would be rich in oil. Soon as we voted, then oil plummeted. We are better off in the U.K., particularly financially. The yes camp just have not got a valid argument for economics, which should scare anyone against voting yes! At the moment, the Sturgeon of the SNP (Scotland’s admiration Leader) is very good at copying the U.K. government and bringing out exactly what they say, but a few hours earlier. Where as, it’s hard for the U.K. government to come off well. It’s always easier for them. We had a fair vote, we said no. That shouldn’t change. We can’t keep having votes when we get something the SNP don’t want. The Yes camp will ageee to ANYTHING that gets them another vote. Even if they don’t believe it.

+Flibbitt _ thanks man :)

Suibhne agreed

Aye but the Gaels who were cleared off in the Highland clearances were not a majority in the country at that stage and were culturally at odds with the rest of the country so screw 'em. (Although through the work of romanticists Scotland did later culturally appropriate their traditional dress and instruments.)

I mean Glasgow was known as the workshop of the British empire , we have been scarred by the highland clearances this is a fact but you can’t ignore the fact that major Scottish cities saw large industrialisation , the shipbuilding industry on the Clyde and at rosyth , the coal mining in the Lothians , the jute industry in Dundee

@@joshuacampbell3605 just as you can't ignore the amount of human suffering the overcrowding of those cities brought on by their mass industrialization caused

Evan Browning yeah that happened everywhere that industrialised though , not as much however but that’s cause The uk was first national to industrialise , also when he talks about prospering he is talking economically , this is the history of Scotland as a nation , not the experiences of the Scottish people

@@joshuacampbell3605 the experience of Scottish people is what allows the history of our nation to exist

And that was under a King who was Scottish

The Berkanian the britons were in the iron age. The Romans were in the bronse.

It's not just about representation in Westminster.. even though voting on bills is fairly skewered to the English votes, due to their overwhelming numbers in parliment. It's just Westminster are very stubborn and quite apathetic to the Scottish peoples needs. Basically, they aren't running the show very well, Scotland has no confidence in Tory governments to make any meaningful change to peoples lives. Funding for Scotland is based on the Barnett formula; Scotland receives a percentage of the money they send to Westminster in the form of a block grant; which since 2010, has dropped 9.2% under successive Tory governments, with many more cuts to come once Brexit kicks in. We're not getting money for nothing you know.

+Dave Peterson #indyref2

MANTLE see, that's the little Englander attitude that Scotland detests. do you think the Tories give Scotland money for nothing?

Let's be honest here.. WM is the English parliament as well as the UK parliament. Setting up an English parliament has been spoken of a lot in the past, but the powers that be always insist it's another layer of non required governance; so its never happened. England isn't the problem, It's WM's inability/refusal to change and adapt. If you really want an English parliament (which I think you should have one) then you must demand it.

Dave Peterson no lol I want a North english parliment. Most people in UK parliment only worry about london. That's what it seems like anyway.

Naem Khan but even the term British is false because your grouping different ethnic and cultural groups just because they were united under conquest. The Scotts are a proud people and they want to be their own entity which is valid. How would you feel if all of a sudden the Pakistanís took over all of India and called the two counties The United Kingdom’s of South Asia? You would feel as if your culture was assimilated and drowned out, you would feel as if you lost your national and cultural identity.

WLFGNGPHNX you can't just keep on having expensive votes just because your side lost. Plus no-one outside of London wants to keep Scotland in the UK. Until London realise that people matter outside of their city, we're stuck together, like it or not.

I'm late to this party but be aware our King inherited the throne of England. A Scottish King started the road to Union. Then in 1707 Queen Anne properly united us into one Kingdom, Great Britain. We would then later form the United Kingdom with Ireland in the 1800s.

MANTLE That vote was rigged.

What you’re saying is right: the parliamentarians in the old Scottish Parliament were bribed to vote FOR the Union. That’s the fact.
