The Power of The Land

- This film looks at some of the key events in the evolution of landownership in Scotland from the earliest times, to today’s land reform agenda.
How was land controlled in Scotland’s early communities? How did the Roman presence and the development of early states like Pictland, Dalriata and Alba affect control of the land? What was the impact of feudalism and what were the effects of the highland clearances?
The film provides a personal perspective on how Scotland’s land should be owned and controlled viewed through the lens of history.
Subtitles will soon be available by clicking on the small cc at bottom margin of the video.
That's how my borders Scot family ended up in Canada. My ancestor and his brothers were farm laborers and when the lord died the lord's lands were 'turned out', meaning no more work . My ancestors were given land in virgin Ontario Canada, this was 1821. All their neighboring farmers in Canada were from the borders area of Scotland or Ireland. And they were all strong minded Presbyterians who led a charitable, community minded life. But, as it was, there were large families back then with many boys, so only one or two could inherit the family farm. So, my grandfather became a blacksmith and worked as a blacksmith his entire life,, shoeing horses and sharpening lawnmowers. He was born in 1868.
Gask wall is further south and probably does not extend so much west, also Mons Grapius most likely further south as Caledonian
Picts held Roman army advance within Perthshire. Very interesting video and well put together.
As a Scot who has worked with Inuit for more than twenty years, I fully understand the power of The Land. Thank you for your thoughtful and well documented film and for mentioning the injustice of emigrants’ attitudes to the fundamental and spiritual connections of the native Canadians and Australians to their land. Is there some way that I can connect with your sources? I find it difficult working from the credits on UA-cam.
Slainte!
Thank you Jeanette. You can get a list of Alan’s sources from our webpage for this video. www.dipinvideo.co.uk/videos/power-of-the-land. I hope that is what you require.
great vid, interesting informative dialogue, great cinematography and editing - Well done for such a small production
Alba is a most beautiful land with a vista around every bend. Some places are primrose and it is hard to leave that spot! There is so much diversity from one area to the next. It has been my good fortune to travel through Bonnie Scotland many times and to see Skye and the Outer Hebridies. Scotland is wild, wooly and wonderful and when I am away I am always thinking about her. Some of my family were from Fife and Edinburgh and that makes me smile!
A fascinating story beautifully told. What amazing scenery as a bonus
That was brilliant, well done all involved.
Excellent presentation. I especially liked all the footage of the countryside itself.
Very interesting analysis of the core issue in social history over a period of two millennia. Would love for Dr Scott to undertake like series for Wales, Cornwall, Ireland, and even Brittany, Galicia,, and Northern England, so as to compare the various Celtic areas' experiences in this regard.
my grandfather came over to canada as a kid...moved to usa went to the army...ww1...big guns....went deaf...lived a long life...left us with a book about the Hubbards histery. I need to find the book and go through it . been forty or fifty years and is boxed in the garage. Thanks.
I have to say this was probably the most comprehensive and informed video on Land ownership , and indeed its historical routes that I have come across. along with Andy Wightman MSP book "The poor had no Lawyers". Went through a whole range of emotions listening to the video .. A huge thanks to Alan Short, Nigel Scott and the team for this presentation,,
great documentry please keep them coming. thank you
Excellent delivery and content, great stuff kid.
Thank you so much for this video and presentation of the history
People romanticize the wide-open countryside, but it only reminds me of the clearances. Let's continue by rewilding and replanting of the Caledonian forest so that the clearances apply to the landowners as well.
Can't agree less, less re-populate the empty glens and reverse the harm that the Clearances continue to visit upon locals. Affordable houses for locals are more important than 'rewilding' or such nonsense.
@@petemcdougall8619 The Scottish diaspora is huge as a result of the clearances. There's enough land between Glasgow and Edinburgh to house almost all of the Scots who are still there.
Fantastic! Thanks for such a good job!
Great video. Thank you!
Scotland is an amazing place. I think I've seen that Antonine Wall. No wonder Scotland seems like a National Park. Like Ireland it was depopulated. Very sad.
Bravo, My late mother always reminded me....'Your from hardy Scottish Stock'..
Thank you.
Great Video
Love your videos.
46:00 tiberius gracchus tried THAT and they lobbed 'im in the tiber. i shouldn't read too much into it through. they lobbed everybody into the tiber.
Lol
This Brig o Balgownie is late 13th Century as it was built using the timber arch centering from Drum Tower near Skene on Deeside which dates from the 1280.s the earliest complete stone castle in Scotland it was granted to the Irvine family by King Robert 1 in 1323 but the tower is earlier than this.
The whole of Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia and some overseas territories is owned by Queen Elizabeth the Second of England and the First of Scotland. In the U.K. etc. there are landholders, householders etc. Hence, compulsory purchase is often used. Interestingly two of the few countries where you can own your house or land are the U.S.A. and the People's Republic of China !!!
Australian Government Use Elizabeth 11 ? This Queen is Not Elizabeth 2 ! Australian Government are a Corporation operating illegally using a Bush Turkey as a Queen ! Why does She Know ? She Sold it to the Highest Bidder ! No Respect for This Queen ! I’m Scottish Not British !
Hope you will start doing videos again.
I've always been suspicious about Roman claims of victory at Mons Graupius.
For example, they claim that the Caledonian chariots got stuck in the mud but a number of things about this set alarm bells ringing in my head.
For example, wheeled vehicles were not common in Scotland even as late as the 18th century. The Scottish actually used a sort of sled, much to the annoyance of General Wade's engineers, as it tore up the road they were trying to build.
Why would a people that live on and know the land use wheeled vehicles in battle when they know perfectly well that they wouldn't work?
I feel it's quite likely that the Mons Graupine battle was a fabrication made to make Rome look good and in actuality they got bogged down in protracted campaigns against people that they fundamentally misunderstood and could not therefore control and that they likely were worn down by an attricious war without any real pitched battles.of the type they liked to fight.
Long Live the Commons!
All we want is to govern our country for thr people of scotland
a very wise account
Not that I know of...my mother's family were from Mayo and Donegal...Carr and Prendergast.
I've heard archaeologists saying over and over again that Neolithic societies must have been stratified because it's impossible to achieve this kind of organisation without stratification. However the stone circles are clearly community spaces built for the community to honour the ancestors, not built for some king or queen. Arguing that organisation can't be achieved without stratification is like arguing that a slave needs his master to be able to feed himself.
Is that a snow covered Lochnagair?
Proverbs 9:9 thank you
It is not the lack of land that causes high prices for a residential or other type of property improvement but the low effective rate of taxation on the value (i.e., the potential annual rental value) of landholdings. Every parcel of land has some potential annual rental value based on locational characteristics, including what restrictions are imposed on what can be constructed on the location and what activities are permitted. Location rent is societally-created and rightfully belongs to the community, collected to pay for public goods and services. Failure to collect this rent fund provides to private holders of land an unearned income stream capitalized by market forces into a selling price. Collect the full rental values and the selling price of locations would theoretically fall close to zero.
This form of land reform is long overdue.
not a tree left
It's beautiful , but man made, I wonder what it should really look like ? This is man
Like a Canadian forest .
Sheep ceased to be profitable after Bells?, built a refrigerated ship on the Clyde. NZ & Oz exported their wool to Britain and now had a market for the meat. Home produced lamb couldn't compete and sheep were replaced by deer. Many shepherd's left for the colonies and Argentina.
Sheep were never really profitable. A sheep could never be a great painter, philosopher or poet, let alone a crofter, mason, weaver or blacksmith.
The clearances were little more than salting the earth to destroy resistance to the union and to feed the Empire with manpower.
Brilliant as I knew this would be. Dip In Video's presentation, narration and filmography are extremely professional as always. Thank you for making this.
I DO get very very angry at people who think it's sport to shoot at an innocent animal or bird. They are obviously lacking in some psychological way. I feel just as STRONGLY about those who think fox hunting is a sport.
Just mind your own business. Problem solved !!
Shut it , pillock . @@redtobertshateshandles
The moral issue involved is
that every person has an equal birthright in the planet. Yet, (mostly by force
of arms) we have carved the planet into nation-states and carved the
nation-states into estates for individuals and private entities to control.
Controlling any part of the planet is a privilege, demanding compensation be
paid into a fund to be used to pay for public goods and services and to
distribute a citizens dividend to all. The amount of this charge must
equate to the potential annual rental value of whatever parcel or tract of land
is controlled. This approach to “land reform” will not correct all of the
injustice of the past, but it will create a better present and a far more just
future for all.
More resentful Socialist dogma, they love spending other people’s money. Fortunately or unfortunately we live in a system that protects the rights of ownership. What are the alternatives spoused by the Left? Nationalising land?!! Forming collectives like the Old Soviet Regime?? Handing over 10 acres of Land to every single one of the population, roll back the years to experience subsistence agriculture???!!!
It’s all smoke & mirrors, it’s the mindless rantings of victim hood particularly from the Left. Your Long March has failed go and grow the fck up, it’s a dreary, negative winge, it’s tough if you and your likes, (comrades) don’t have the ability to engage with the realities of a hard & demanding World, maybe if you got of your moaning arses and did something worthwhile & positive instead of looking “over the fence” and gossiping about “the Haves”.
Land owners are a embarrassment to humanity.
Yes.... if humanity exists.
Great UL
More people should have watched this excellent narrator , does anyone know their name
The narrator is historian Alan Short.
@@dipinvideo thanks 🙂
Excellent plain speaker. 👍🏴
Yup nothings changed. Still getting shafted right up the khyber 😂
So should all that history be done away with for some suburb?
*Have you knowledge about the klan Mac Key?*
It is a very interesting program but for the music.
My Scottish side of the family were Berry's from Fife and Edinburgh. Do you have Scottish heritage?
I'm 1/4th Hilton. Am I Pict?
naw
No. Probably English.
Great video. But all so serious. A little spicing with humor would make it even better.
What, you want a bit of the Big Yin ?
@@johnmorgan5495 aye.
Sounds very Red to me.
Do you think the future black population of Scotland will tear down Bruce’s statue and put up a statue of Nelson Mandela?
The population might slowly go brown but black?? Never. And I don't fall for this racist garbage. There's plenty of white people who'll sell you out. This is exactly what happened in Scotland. They'll get all defensive and deny it of course.
Rubbish, nothing for your thoughts.
@@simonbuller5461 cope
this movie is stupid....i dont believe in land ownership
You are stupid if you dont understand the film.
are you by any chance a Marxist?
Did you watch the video?
Tell it to the right people miss.
Wesrminster stripped/stripping Scotland of its investment and funneling it down to the bottom of England while the population down there flourish and come up to Scotland to buy second homes and force the native population of Scotland
