@@mariosuarez3411 Thank you very much for the encouragement and greetings from Scotland. Roxburgh castle will also be included in other films when I make projects on the knight James Douglas. It is indeed a fascinating place!

@@paulmuir2184 I really has a good time doing this one. I was here for the first time many years ago…it was a dark and gloomy day, and when I stepped out onto that Solway coast and walked through the mud towards the monument it gave me a tremendous sense of place, I could see the event all those years ago in my mind, how the army had paused as the news of King Edward was passed around, and how they made their way to the village where he lay in state. It’s more than just the monument, every single step one takes around there stimulates real emotions. I wonder the mindset of Bruce when the news got to him. He knew Edward didn’t have long, but that he would certainly take it to him with his last dying breaths and movements, which he did.

@ @ I get what you mean about having a sense of place at these places, it really gets the mind and the senses going mate honestly fascinates me. The Battle of Sark site is just over the water although to be honest when I was there I wasn’t sure exactly where that happened although I did visit the illustration board and the lochmaben stone as well.. so hopefully I was walking where it’d happened 🤣 you could just make out the Edward I monument across the Solway Firth that day

@ I will be visiting that again.

Indeed they were, and were about to do something never been done before.

@@carmichael3594 it really is and over 10 foot deep in some places, in additions the river banks churned up into mud.

@@charlestibbitts2216 thanks for your feedback. I will have projects for that in future on the harrying of Buchan.

@@briancarno8837 he did it for the Bruce following of Scots, after he won his battles at home and rid the land of his enemies, including Scot’s who were against him. Once he did that he was known to be a great and charismatic leader who people followed. The Bruce under his version of Scotland prospered as long as he was alive when he won the land of Scotland over. The declaration of Arbroath announced that they had the power to remove him if he failed to live up to this. He did live up to it.

@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 one lot of Norman descended aristcrats fighting against another for land and power, the Scottish people (ordinary people) didn't come into it.. any more than the Engish or french people did

@@briancarno8837 Opinions differ...

@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 I guess we will have to agree to disagree...and not fall out about it "doon the pub"

@@ladybearbaiter Thank you kindly for your feedback and support. I am very happy you enjoyed the film and I also look forward to doing more projects involving Edward, which as you know are inextricably linked with Scots medieval history. Greetings from Scotland!

The Bruce Scots were glad to see him go...

@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 Yes,exactly.

@@garyhyndman1105 Cruel times both side of the border.

@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 Yes, but I'm biased.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@@garyhyndman1105 of course...

@@rattleshakti no it was open, you can see the insides of this amazing place in my Death of King Edward I film.

@@carmichael3594 it’s a very beautiful place, well preserved, and to think that Edward Longshanks lay in state in here is phenomenal. I can imagine all the medieval local villagers and the soldiers outside while this was going on. And of course the villagers would witness the arrival of Edward II.

@@carmichael3594 you are very welcome. Aside from the The Bruce he is my most fascinating character. As cruel as he could be, love him or hate him, he was elite and stands alone as the greatest enemy and battle warlord ever to turn his head towards us. Great enemies bring forth great soldiers in opposition, and I truly believe he contributed to how great Bruce was!

@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647both Bruce, and Edward are my two favorite from that era for the same reasons. Edward demanded respect, and I'm sure Edwards rage was out of this world when he knew Bruce went against him probably even more than Wallace

@@carmichael3594 Far more…Wallace was nothing to him but a rebel,but Bruce a betrayal.

@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 Edward probably looked at him in high regard perhaps more than his own son l, Edward probably looked at him like that as a son.

@ Edward admired greatness and he saw it!

@@carmichael3594 enjoy my brother!

@@Balach-c4c aye, aye Sir!

Thanks for your feedback and the information on pronunciation. Always a learning curve for me...

You're welcome. I have seen several documentaries and TV programmes where Burgh has been pronounced in various ways. You're not alone. Now you're one step ahead in your knowledge of the area.

@ indeed, thank you!

@@Seekerfilms Many thanks for that. I enjoyed this trek.

@@Macmillan-mt1xm Your feedback is much appreciated. I am grateful and thank you. It’s an intriguing prospect to think upon had Edward I lived, or had he been in his Kingly prime when Bruce raised his rebellion. However, I think in all the wars throughout Wales, France, and Scotland never had the English faced a leader of the calibre of Bruce. Indeed, the mind boggles to what may have transpired in the years leading up to the battle of Bannockburn. We will never know…but Bruce knew the calibre of Edward also.

I agree, I always thought of “The Bruce” as a Scottish version of “Longshanks” . My feeling was he did to? Can I ask, I take it, you the author of that great book “ The Genius of Bannockburn”

@ the author of that book is my friend William Scott, whom I speak to regularly and we have met , studied, and walked the Bannockburn battlefield together,.

Great book, I bought it many years ago, still my go to reference for anything related to the battle,.

@ there’s no better, and Bannockburn Revealed also brilliant.

I agree. the feather just appeared, blown by the wind and I felt compelled to place it on the stone monument.

I am very happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for your much valued feedback in supporting and help me build the channel.

Thank you kindly. I learn as I go but it primarily runs on passion!

Thanks for the feedback and supporting the channel. all i know is that nearby is under development. too much of our heritage being swallowed up by modernisation these days...

I sung something to that effect when I was a kid!

What a thought with that in front of you...

Hugely grateful for your support and thanks for the feedback. I really enjoyed making this film and had been itching to do it for a while.

Thank you very much. Bruce was a man of strong character and a calculated risk taker. He had enormous self belief, a great leader of men who flocked to him, but he had his enemies also... That's an interesting question you pose...

@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 It is, I suspect he’d be horrified that a Saracen was leading the government. Sadly we’ll never know. Thanks for making these films.

Thanks for watching!

I have certainly walked in those footsteps and I do feel that when I am there. every Comyn structure is a symbol of power, and I can imagine even when the English passed through that message was a powerful one. Edward always wanted the Comyns onside. Bruce opposed anything that symbolized power in opposition to his quest and he tore it down without thought, no question. The greatest accomplishment apart from defeating Edward's army was winning his battles at home, an enormous feat considering he was also ill during the harrying of Buchan. He had to put that Comyn power and all who sided with them down before he could do anything else. The momentum in how he carried it out is remarkable.

Nothing short of amazing. Bruce was truly one of the greatest kings in history.

I am positively sure that he did. there was a lot to be learned from the Spartan fighting and Bruce was an avid reader of history at the time. He used to read to his men. can you imagine that! Bruce inspiring his men through great accomplishments in history.
