    No armor plaits no huge as thick shoulder armor, no huge bastard swords, No armored fucking Horses!, just a kilt and cloth yet we still managed to wreck the English back into next week, now that's a fucking true warrior.

      the last time the Scottish fought against English knights was at the battle of Flodden, the Scottish were massacred and their king was killed. Also they would have been wearing plate armour anyway, this sort of attire wouldn't have been used against Knights.

    • @discipleofkhorne9472
      @discipleofkhorne9472 8 років тому

      *****​ The weapons however aren't 17th or 18th century (aside from the backsword). Conzo referred to knights so I did as well, I do know that this clothing isn't 16th century in anyway and is more akin to what was worn during the Jacobite rebellion, hence why I said "this sort of attire wouldn't have been used against knights". I probably could of mentioned the Battle of Solway moss as well where the same thing happened, but I don't think knights were used at that point.

    The basket hilted sword with the targe and dirk was interesting to me as I wear those but was never shown how to use them. I wear them as part of a uniform in our pipe band.

    Men look GREAT in kilts.....................Highlander. The scottish accent is sublime. That was a hell of a lot of fabric, but then I could see why, as they could wear them like a cloak. Who knew? But a great idea. Could have doubled as a blanket too. Great video, informative & interesting.

    Great video, I always wondered how the kilt turned into a cloak, and now I know! I went to Scotland for two weeks as a family vacation, and now I embrace my Scottish roots much more. I got a kilt (for 50 pounds at the Crieff Highland Games, a full 8 yard too!), and have been wearing it on special occasions, though I'm starting to wear it more regularly. I've also been learning Gaelic, but I only know some basic sayings. I would do almost anything though for a formal lesson!

  • @kimdkus
    @kimdkus 12 років тому

    I love how your brother showed how to make a REAL kilt. It seems most cut the fabric lengthwise, then sew the pleats down. Their kilts look like something I'd find at Kohls. This seems more realistic and a lot easier. Thank your brother for sharing. :)

    That pole arm is similar to the Swiss and English halberd or as a matter of fact it looks like a combination of the Viking pole axe and the English bill hook the only difference being. That it has an actual meat hook near the tip ,but I must say it looks very different from similar weapons of the period thus it has its own Scottish style.

They and i are so jealous. Fantastic clothes, accent and music. If i started to wear viking clothes the others would laugh their ass off but kilts are supercool.

As I was preping for my lesson I knew I wanted to show them Kilts because we had such a wonderful presenter while we were in Kenmore, Scotland and he made it so interesting. I was so surprised to find your video because your brother was the presenter I had! it made it all that much more special to share the video with my class!

  • @TheCitadelSix
    @TheCitadelSix 12 років тому

    @wedingo Not sure about width but traditional kilts are approx. 1 x 9 yards (hence the term, the whole nine yards). That one may be the 9 yard done as a great kilt (60in x 4 1/2 yards - note: also 9 yards total). The long length can be longer than 4 1/2 to accommodate larger waists.

    @lewismurray1 you can legally own a sword which has been traditionally hand crafted by the methods indigenous to the area with which it represents. This means you can own a Katana so long as it's made the traditional way... Which means shelling out at least a couple of hundred quid for one. The idea of this law is that it prevents the sale and ownership of cheap replica swords which are the ones commonly used in gang cultures (although it is more common for them to use kitchen utensils than swo

    @d00ft Thank you soooo much for the program. I think the best way to learn would be going back to Scotland and taking up my great great aunts offer of teaching me. Maybe I should get a foreign workers visa....

    Fantastic! What is the name of the music? It's so wonderful and I believe I heard it in Braveheart when they were having a party.
