How terrible to take advantage of women in difficult and vulnerable situations.
@@Orpilorp yeah what he did was horrible at least in the End he was brought to justice.
@@AlbaHistoryYes, that's true. And God will certainly judge him.
Hello from Nebraska! Some of my family came from Scotland to America, so I have a piece of my heart still there. America has some very interesting standing stones that they believe even pre-date the indigenous people who they believe came across the Bering strait. They even believe they might have been giants. History is so fascinating.
Aw that's awesome yeah alot of Highlanders left Scotland for the United states and Canada during the highland clearances glad you checked out my channel I didn't know about standing stones in America that's really interesting. The legends of Scotland talk about giants aswell the giants causeway in Ireland and a place called fingals cave in Scotland were supposed to be linked like a type of bridge but the two giants that lived at opposite ends of the bridge didn't get along. I might do a video on the legend 😊
@@AlbaHistoryThat would be very interesting. There are histories about giants in America as well.
@@Orpilorp its interesting all the story's that are past down to us that some people don't believe I think there's an element of truth to the legends that are told by our Ancestors.
Such ashamed some historicial society has not restored it

Introduced indigenous species to continents they don’t belong in but at the same time they kill indigenous species wolves , bears, buffaloes, mountain lions etc etc. These day these same none indigenous that were introduced centuries ago are labelled pests, wild boars, carp from Asia who out number the natural fish inhabitants. Cats, rats, sheep and camels amongst others in Australia, whilst the dingoes stock are low, Tasmanian tiger already gone forever, kangaroos culled. What a mess.

No matter how it happened you can't help but Love the Bruce for being on the front lines with the men not afraid to fight, to risk his own safety and not afraid to kill. A leader of men at war with few equals!

McCulloch. I know it is one of the old Gallic Clans of Galloway. Sir Godfrey McCulloch, who was executed on the Maiden for murder was a seven times great uncle. Anything about origins before that would be of interest!

I'd like to know whether there was a similar ancient forest in Argyll, which is outside the area on your map.
Tbh its entirely possible we don't know everything about the ancient forests most of the information is written down about the Area on the map so that's why we can say for sure a forest was in this area but similar Ancient forests would have been in England and Wales so it wouldn't be a surprise if there was a forest in Argyll at some point.
Amazing to see it! Also love the stunning landscape photos at the end! 😊
Thank's I appreciate it 😊
I absolutely LOVE these minor historical retelling’s…thank you! 🙂
