The Italian Alps, home to countless quintessential Italian villages…and one not-so traditional. Welcome to Gurro, the Scottish village in Italy.
So what actually makes this village Scottish? Legend has it that the population descended from Scottish soldiers, who stumbled across the area whilst fleeing a battle 500 years ago. But it’s not just their supposed ancestors flying the Scottish flag - the inhabitants today wear traditional tartan, grab drinks in their local Scottish bar and they even mix Scottish into their language…Ay, can you believe it!
These are the Italian locals keeping this delightfully unexpected Scottish tradition alive.

I’m from Scotland. And this makes me so proud and it literally brought a tear to my eye. My great uncle was in WW2 as a pilot and he was transferring food etc to a small village in Italy called Ostana but unfortunately my great uncles planet crashed due to poor weather conditions. The Italian villagers gathered up the remains and made a grave for him and his crew members. They marked them as hero’s and for many years my grandad didn’t know what happened to his brother that night and in 2001 they discovered this. It’s such a beautiful story. God bless the Italians 🩷🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Scottish traced they origins from Hungarian-MacAr-Scythian whom as such lived and live in a much larger area.For western Scythians where a Finno-Ugric meaning Finnish-Hungarian alliance from which Hungarian-Macar-Scythian where a Gál-Gaelic-Gaul while Eastern Scythians where more Turkic . Gál-Gaelic-Gaul appeared and moved between Portugal,BenGal and Mongolia and so have connected Iberian Peninsula with Caucasian Iberian Kingdom and Siberia which is why Scottish-Irish genetics appears in this Scythian region like Hindu-Kush,Iran,Middle East....and Italy for they where a Hun-Han which is a name and so a identity just as title of nobility with its religious significance.

In my hometown, Piacenza, there is a neighborhood dedicated to Saint Brigid of Ireland, where the city's Scota (gaels) community lived. The most important historical figure of Piacenza is Alberto Scotti, lord of the city between the end of the 1200s and the beginning of the 1300s, and he was of Gaelic origins. Near Piacenza there is the sanctuary with the tomb of Saint Columbanus, and during the Middle Ages it was a pilgrimage destination for all the Gaels who traveled the Via Francigena

no she doesn't sound like a native speaker for sure. But a lot of old people in Italy aren't native speakers and have local dialects as their first language. Alpine dialects in particular are very different from Italian. And they're even more distant from the Southern accents mostly heard in Italian communities abroad

The battle at Pavia, their glory shone bright, Against the French, they fought with might, But winter's grip held them tight, In Gurro they remained, 'neath starry night. With Italian belles, they found their love, In the shadow of peaks, like eagles above, Their hearts entwined, in Gaelic and Italian speech, In Gurro's embrace, their dreams did reach. Through the ages, their tale resounds, In whispers of mist, in Highland sounds, McDonaldi's legacy, forever told, In Gurro's valleys, where memories unfold.

Italian "cotechino" Is somehow similar to haggis (but with different ingredients), so there it is!

In ancient times, at the time of ancient Rome, northern Italy was called Cisalpine Gaul and was inhabited by Celtic peoples, so those populations were already related to the Scots and the Celtic culture.

Well if they are having fun then go for it! I'm Sottish and it's alright here, if only we had better weather it would be absolute paradise, especially the Highlands. I'm from Edinburgh and sometimes I forget how lucky I actually I am that I get to pass such historical landmarks like Edinburgh Castle every day ❤

The Italian surname "Scotti" means "From Scotland". Whoever has that surname probably has ancient Scottish origins. As a generalization, the same surname was also used in the Middle Ages for people with origins from Ireland. In fact, the nobleman from Piacenza "Alberto Scotti" was probably Irish.

There are fascinating stories like this all around the world. A Polish village in Haiti. A Central African village in Abkhazia!

@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 2 месяца назад

There is no central african village in abkazia.. There was once africans there, they were slaves from the turks probably given as gifts.. The local abkazians were not familiar with enslaving africans and had a feudal society of sorts they settled the africans on several estates growing fruit mostly and aquired african wives for them from the turks, these africans assimilated but stayed seperate mostly till the russians arrived at which point intermarrying increased, during connunisim they vanished as a group as intermarriage was the norm.. Today there is no africans there.. You might see a darker person but they are no darker that greeks or palestinians or persians.. The africans were mostly from the sudan probably

I know it, it's in the Valle Cannobina, a nice motorcycle fare. The sad part, not said here, is that it's one of the very few Alpine valleys that extends horizontally, East-to-West, so they don't see the sun for more than six months (say September through April), and it's also very rainy. So much for "better weather than Scotland".

Nice, it's a plausible story, there were many Swiss and German mercenaries in Pavia, the Scots aren't mentioned but that doesn't mean they weren't there. Escaping from Pavia, the only road controlled by the Duchy of Milan to northern Europe, passed along Lake Maggiore. Having arrived in front of the Canobin valley, which flows into Lake Maggiore, they will have stopped to wait for the good weather. It can be seen that the Cannobine girls of 1525 were as attractive as those of today and the Scots decided to stop......

Lake of Magiore -Magyar. Scottish traced they origins from Hungarian-MacAr-Scythian whom as such lived and live in a much larger area.For western Scythians where a Finno-Ugric meaning Finnish-Hungarian alliance from which Hungarian-Macar-Scythian where a Gál-Gaelic-Gaul while Eastern Scythians where more Turkic . Gál-Gaelic-Gaul appeared and moved between Portugal,BenGal and Mongolia and so have connected Iberian Peninsula with Caucasian Iberian Kingdom and Siberia which is why Scottish-Irish genetics appears in this Scythian region like Hindu-Kush,Iran,Middle East....and Italy for they where a Hun-Han which is a name and so a identity just as title of nobility with its religious significance.

@laurencedarabia2000 2 месяца назад

Wat geopardising answer😂 . The italian word Maggiore come from the latin major and signify " bigger" because it' the bigger lake of glacial origin in front of the other that surround it. In Piedmont we had a little comunity of magyar soldier of fortune in Baraggia, near Vercelli. They came two hundred years after Pavia battle and fighted at Assietta battle.

@@hondacbrification You are talking about the migrations by the Indo-Europeans in successive waves over the last 25,000 years. It's a complicated and constantly evolving issue, it seems that the latest DNA research shows a Caucasian origin common to all Europeans but it's a topic that has little to do with a group of mercenaries lost 500 years ago in the Cannobina valley
