@illmitchjax "its coming home" every single tournament youse enter. Argentina have won more trophies so if anything if they win itll be coming home. England hasnt even been the home of football hahahah
Wow. As a Turk, I had heard of the Scotland-England rivalry, but I did not know it was this competitive. I thought it was based more on one-sided English superiority. I congratulate the Scots for their honorable struggle.
The weather i imagine - Being a resident of the mojave desert it was a real shock to be stationed in glasgow for the time I was there mainly due to the ever changing weather which seemed to change from Super ridiculously cold, to EXTRA super ridiculously cold with sideways sleet on the turn of a dime.
The Scots are the friendliest people you will ever meet. But a word of warning do not turn against them as you will live to regret that as we are also the fiercest race in the World.
Aye fight off the hardest warriors in history then years of generations endocrine and brainwashing willingly choose to be colonised by voting No to Independence in 2014 Indy ref! Any opt for the like of David Cameron and Boris Johnson to have to final say on our political landscape and drag us out of the European market! Aye resilient as fuck……….ma hole! 😂
You didn't do William Wallace any justice in this . He lead the rebellions single handedly for years and had the English invaders living in fear . He paved the way for Bruce and died a hero freedom fighter .
Thanks for this, well produced and explained. The Romans couldn't touch us and neither would the Vikings. Yet we still have the best comedy on the planet!
The Romans got as far as Orkney, and Garrisons reached as far as Stracathro, in Angus. It was the terrain of Scotland which beat the Romans, not the people. The Vikings took the Orkney and Shetland Islands, as well as the Hebrides, down to Isle of Mann, as well as Vast areas of the mainland, from Caithness, Sutherland, right down the west coast, into Strathclyde, and down to Dumfries and Galloway.
As a Cummings i loved this video as we are of the same clan as Comyn, the name was just changed over the centuries as they moved to different areas of Europe and the United States. Ive read about John but seeing it put in a video like this really brings it to life, thank you
The King of Scotland is the head of the England Why don’t the Scottish understand the English are the subject of Scotland as The English don’t even have a working Government
That’s because Scotland rules England as the English don’t have a independent government unlike Scotland The King of Scotland who is a member of the Scottish church is head of the English and the Church of England The English lost the war a long time ago the English are subject of the British Empire
@@rossstewart9475 yo boys can have independence of you want it god knows if anyone deserves it, it's Scotland but in saying that the UK isn't the UK without the Scottish
England's never been able to do very much without Scotland there, holding its hand. This explains why Westminster's desperate to keep Scotland in the union.
100% true. Funny how then repeatedly for years said we were a drain on the UKs resources, but once the independence vote came around they shat their pants and said its best if we stay together 😂
@@bud1876 Not because it would make England poorer if Scotland left but, believe it or not, we actually like not having borders on the island of Great Britain
Absolute nonsense, England was barely helped by Scotland when creating the British Empire. There were a few notable inventors who were Scottish but the industrial might and the Naval power of the Empire was almost exclusively English.
Well researched, as a person who grew up 3 miles from the birthplace of William Wallace I knew nothing about him other than his name, schools teaching English history... Sad that it took adulthood to know virtually anything about my own country. This video would be a good starting point in our schools, well done all who took part in making this video....
Fun fact scotland has never been fully invaded not once everyone that's tried has only got so far before they quit and go home or get their asses whipped in battle 🏴🏴
Yeah the English couldn’t achieve much just as the Romans learned. We are a resourceful bunch. English Gold eventually brought about the union of both kingdoms and then the dominance of Britain over the known world we possible with the Scottish help.
Tbh England got very very very close to winning. It was practically a miracle that scotland won. It was practically a civil war + an invasion whislt England managed to capture nearly all of Scotlands most important cities and England still lost
@@Crusty_Camper that will come as a MASSIVE surprise to Marcus Antonius Prattus, a Roman soldier serving in England in January XXIV who writes to his mother and mentions his orders to attack the “Picts and Scots” Crazy how you know better than him! Now take your humbling like a man, apologise, learn and move on.
That's how you colonise a nation, you deny them their own history, while constantly reminding them of how great your's was, glossing over *all* the evil you've committed, blowing your own trumpet, while denigrating them at every opportunity, stealing their resources, while lying to them about how they're paupers and savages, even though they own natural resources worth trillions, were teaching girls in school, centuries before you were, had their own imperial monetary system, centuries be you did and even that you stole from them, adding the letter 'o' to their _Pund._ Over three centuries of that kind of programming, generation after generation, 'til the colonised start to believe the lies!
Because Scotland had real men back in the 14th century William Wallace and Robert de Bruce and many more. They must be turning in their graves knowing their decendent's sold them our in 1709 and again in 2014. Scotland will never get the recognition many people including athletes deserve in their own right. Sorry to say you've sold your country out folks just an oppinion from a proud Irishman.
That's where you're wrong. *SALVO* are currently at the _UN_ courts, putting the final touches to charges, both civil and criminal, that they're bringing against the Crown and it's Wastemonster govt, including the *illegal* _colonisation_ of Scotland! Maybe you could elucidate on what occurred in 1709? The _Acts of Union 1707_ occurred, strangely enough, in that exact year, 1707. Were you, perhaps, thinking of that event? As for 2014, it was gullibility, rather than cowardice, that led about *30%* of the voters to believe the constant lies and false promises made by Wastemonster and reinforced by the English controlled media.
I am Scottish and I understand the sentiment behind your post. It's important to remember however that a lot of data shows that in 2014 it was people from the EU who swung the referendum against us. They were fearful of independence resulting in Scotland leaving the E.U. Ironic eh? We should also remember that Scotland has a much greater history of resistance than Ireland. Although obviously you, our Irish brothers, had greater success more recently.
@@sky37blue the thing is Scotland's resistance was actually successful un like Ireland's Robert de Bruce actually won independence for Scotland but between the union of crowns which was the beginning of the end of Scottish independence and the eventual act of union you gave away your sovereignty. I think that Scotland leaving the UK would be a bad idea your better off togeather but shurly you could do something like the EU and become independent within the UK where every country got credit for their achievements unlike now, Scotland don't have an official Olympic team that's sad in my book. You are a great nation who've contributed great things to the world but don't get the credit you deserve.
We Scot’s like the Irish have fought for centuries. We are fierce protectors of our people and our land. We are used to the awful weather and vast empty land. Romans and English could not hack the severity of our life and fight to the last man attitude. It’s genetic and still here today.
I remember years ago having a conversation with my father about why the Irish were considered such good workers we were both wet to the skin fincing on our farm and my father said this would be the nicest country in the world if we got abit of effin weather and I said the weather's the reason we're considered such good workers abroad because we get to take our coats off and out feet aren't been dragged down in the wet ground. As you said Scotland has far worse weather with your driving snow and your northern coldness so I'd definitely say climate has something to do with building resilience and toughness.
It's still here today? No, it's not. We allow anyone and everyone into our country, as a result our culture has changed radically over the last 50 or so years. You're obviously young, and have only known this 'new' changed culture. Scots today are weak. Stop living in the past, Hazel.
Get over it. I definitely agree the fighting prowess is still in the blood, but you can’t say the English couldn’t hack doing battle with yous. You clearly don’t know your history. What would you say to the Scottish clans that forfeited to the king and sold out various other clans? Acting like the king doesn’t have full control over your land now😂 … it’s ok suffer defeat it was almost a thousand years ago.
I think you'll find that the Romans did actually conquer most of Scotland then return back to the English border. It's an urban legend that Rome didn't conquer the whole of Britain..
@RoyalRegimentofScotland I believe you are wrong. The Romans conquered most of Scotland but were then told to return to Rome. Learn your history properly and stop listening to myths.
@@jimmyavpi - Scotland was never brought fully under Roman Administration. Scotland was too hot to handle, and too costly to hold under military occupation, in the areas that they did hold which is why they withdrew to Hadrian's Wall!! It was the same solution that Rome applied to Germania and withdrew behind the Rhine!
There were no Kings of Scotland. They ruled the people not the land. South of the border they owned the land and not the people. It's simple, get it right.
Why can't I watch the Jacobite rising, this video is now for sponsors. You said that sponsors get access to videos before everyone else, but you didn’t say that some videos are exclusively now only for sponsors!😔😭
I'm Scottish and British and Glaswegian and proud of it, Rule Britannia from Glasgow, but if pushed into War I have to back my own People, the Scots, just saying 🇬🇧💙
As a Scotsman I can confirm freedom is all we’ve wanted for centuries, even if I’m proud to be apart of the UK I still like to look at Scotland as independent sometimes.
@@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons Scots literally rioted on the streets when the union was announced: What you mean is that the Scots landowning elite wanted the union because they were all going bankrupt, and the regular resident would've happily let that happen to them. As any student of Scots history will attest: Scotland's greatest enemy has always been the Scot.
Once you're past the Central Belt and the East Coast (as far as Aberdeen) the whole exercise becomes a logistical nightmare for a conventional army. Even the Romans failed but left us some nice roads, two walls and the occasional camp. The areas further North were home to the brochs which the locals used to delay invasion by posing the questions "what are we and who made us ?"
Fantastic video and I am totally fascinated with the history of Scotland which is one of my favourite ever countries despite I am part English through my ancestries,good friends!!!LONG LIVE SCOTLAND!!!🏴
@@paulwoods3078 he likes scotland he obviously knows the history already and decided to give kudos regardless of watching the entire thing. Scotland is great!!
@@paulwoods3078Haha!!!Actually,after the video was being uploaded but I am not sure for how many minutes after that,I did comment and the conclusion is a fact where my great great grandfather was an Englishman from my mother's side who worked as a British army,good friend!!!🏋🏻♂️
Not just this they both had clans that fought each other i read a book about this forgot the name of it. It mentioned scottish and english clans scottish v scottish or vice versa and english vs scottish clans killing each other bet this had a huge impact on outcome too.
As God said: I've made the most glorious place on Earth. Beautiful snow capped mountains, untouched rivers, streams and lochs, timeless beauty. The people will make Whiskey "The Water of Life". The people are good looking, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as magnificent warriors, engineers, inventors and pioneers. I'll call it Scotland. Gabriel gasped "isn't that a bit unfair on the rest of the world? God replied. "No, Not at all, just wait till you see their immediate neighbours."
When they eventually realised that they could not do it militarily they tried to do it using bloodlines, a plot that backfired (that's why Mary was Elizabeth's cousin)
Ianherd5y9,you can't be talking about mary queen of scots,she's only scottish and French because of her mother.her father had married henry 8th daughter,she died,he married mary disguise,French.
The Troubles and the Sectarianism affected the American/Canadian east coast specifically in Newoundland in Boston, Bridgeport, New Haven, Providence, NYC, NJ, Delaware and Philadelphia, Baltimore, all the way down to north carolinas outerbanks where the hoi toiders live, it even had effects in places you'd never imagine it affecting like Denver ffs, smh. I grew up in a split household my mother was protestant (orange) and my father a catholic (green), I was forced to learn all these songs for each parents family it was definitely unique.
@@RoyalRegimentofScotland Ma baws! 😂😂😂 Each time they play dead, so we, being idiots, clear out and they just pick up where they left off, regardless of who swaggers about, thinking they have a big dick. They've played any enemies from the get go. How long were we in there? Twenty years, give or take a few months, then we left, after the US bailed on us, then what happened? It went back to the way it was. Same story, every time
Only Scotland is unconquerable! The other 2 u named just have harsh conditions and terrain. Floodplains and Jungles are brutal but come for a fight in the scottish Highlands and I'm pretty sure ur fuckedd.
Go further back you'll find vikings invaded and killed all the males. So it wasn't Norwegian to start with, same for Orkney and lot of other islands on Scotland's western seaboard.
@Wull-cfc67 to be clear vikings were Scandinavian. Denmark Sweden and NORWAY = Scandinavian? In 1469 shetland was annexed to scotlland as part of a dowry for a marriage. Before then they were used as stonghold for vikings under Norwegian and Danish rule for about 600 years. Also there's historical sights in shetland that predates the vikings and the picts with neolithic archaeological sight dating back too 2500 bc filled with norse cutlery bowls tools ect but yeah not Norwegian at all 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@wetflannel6343 the neolithic sites date to between 5000 and 6000 years ago. The picts around 300 AD. Scandinavian to 8 & 9 century. Where did you read Norse artifacts dating back 2500bc ?
@Wull-cfc67 being from shetland I've seen them. You should watch a guy called bruce fummey he done videos about Jarlshof Prehistoric and Norse Settlement and explains it in more detail. And the Jarlshof Prehistoric and Norse Settlement has 4000 years of human Settlement on one site. Dating from 2500 bc all the way up until the 17th century. They found some neolithic pottery nearby roughly dated to 3200 bc
@Wull-cfc67 and it's literally on the visit shetland website shetland herratige and visit Scotland website. Its all well documented and acclaimed as one of the best archaeological sites on the British Isles
Conquering Scotland has never been a worthwhile effort. Defending England was more important and if that meant invading Scotland so be it. There has never been an abundance of resources till coal, oil and transport came along
Does Scottish culture look like it was dominated by anything? English culture consists of poncing about in streets with flowers in their hats and wee tinkly bells on their ankles. Bowler hats and a brolly. Seen any of that in Scotland. Or anywhere else for that matter. Then ask yourself whey almost EVERY country in the world has pipe bands wearing kilts.
The late Queen's mother was from the Castle of May, North coast of mainland Scotland. The late Queen''s's father as a German, name change from the German family name around the time of WW1. So, no English blood at all. The current King's father was a Greek, with some European royal family blood. King Charles has no English blood at all. Prince William 's mother was a Spencer, a family that has its roots in Jacobite history. So, Scotland has conquered England already.
It's not about ancestry or DNA. That's a very ethnocentric view of things. I'm Scottish, and while my ancestors have all been Scottish for a millennium, that's not what makes me Scottish. When Charles isn't cosplaying in his kilt, he's clearly English. I'm clearly Scottish, even in a bathrobe. That's what makes the difference.
Was neat to find out from dna and family lore we came from Scotland in the 1700’s thus in my family’s line, the English were beat 3 times if you count the war of 1812😊
Because we are warriors by blood - the meaning of Calidonia is Unconquered land - I proud of my linage and would lways fight to protect it - we have a bloody history no wonder the romans couldnt do either. Ne Obliviscaris 'Never Forget'
@@darkstarr2321 Aye mock a mans heritage the FACT is they didnt and neither did england - which was more politics than war.

@@michaelburns8519 Wow, you are a sensitive soul aren't you. You clearly cant handle the truth!

@@DaveArguesback Not British, either. Only 8% of people in Scotland identify as British, according to the most recent census data. And it's still shrinking. Only a third of Scots feel a common bond with those south of here. According to a poll commissioned by arch unionist Gordon Brown. So you know it must be bad, when even he could only find a third.
@OneTrueScotsman you obviously don't know what british means do you .The english are not British, but the scots ,Welsh, English, and ni ,combined = British, do you understand !?
This is quite an amusing title-at the same time the Scoti were "fighting for freedom at all costs", the Scoti were marginalising, suppressing, and obfuscating the native Britons in the region-the Scoti are, of course, Irish. Made more amusing when the American accent started!
Scots are gaels who are natives of the isles they are the same as picts and the Strathclyde britons ye talk utter pish and im from the central belt in scotland
Not really. The briton identity had been completely destroyed by the scotti at this point. Wide range british identity would not return till the 17th century under james VI
@@gallantscotland8590 I don't need to keep telling myself that. I seriously don't understand why gaels are ferocious in trying to claim gaels are native to britian when they literally aren't. The gaels invaded around the same time the angles , saxons and jutes began to invade britian. Gaels and the Irish language are not native to britian
Scotland and France always had an issue with England and made the oldest standing alliance, the Auld Alliance 🏴♥️🇫🇷 Gum bi sinn nar caraidean gu bràth!
The Auld alliance is not a standing alliance, it was formally dissolved in 1560 by the treaty of Edinburgh. It would have been the oldest alliance had it not been dissolved but as it was, the oldest surviving alliance is that between England and Portugal, that was never repudiated.
It has been well documented that the reason the Romans and later the English could not conquer Scotland was not due to resistance but because of midges. The Antonine wall built by the Romans was constructed of timber and turf, which when made damp by the inclement Scottish weather, made the perfect conditions for midges. No medication was available back then and the constant itchiness became infected due to scratching. This caused the occupants to beat a hasty retreat. Even today, mere tourists are advised to medicate before going there. You can be wandering peacefully through the spectacular Scottish landscape when suddenly clouds of the bloodthirsty creatures appear out of nowhere and attack relentlessly.
@@henrydale8783 Yes, whilst ferocious wild haggis sightings have been claimed, evidence is rather sketchy. A bit like the Loch Ness Monster. Whereas, owners of pharmacies right across Scotland will testify that supplies of bite and sting cream always seem to be sold out.
@@henrydale8783 Yes, although evidence of ferocious wild haggis sightings is rather sketchy as with the Loch Ness Monster. Whereas, plenty of Scottish pharmacy workers will testify to supplies of bite and sting cream being sold out on a regular basis.
Nonsense. They Romans were only too aware of the antiseptic qualities of both honey or garlic and the insect repellent quality of garlic, which they introduced to Britain. I'm sure I remember Billy Cornelly had a comedy routine and was making a joke on the circuit, way back in the early 70's, at the latest, about it being midges that repelled a full scale Roman invasion of Scotland. Someone has cucked you with that tripe. 😂😂😂
@@billyandrew And you thought I was being serious🤣I suppose you are going to tell us that there is no such thing as a ferocious wild haggis next. By the way, it`s Billy Connolly not Billy Cornelly.
Scotland had the chance to vote for independence and said no 😮.Theres a lot of people in Scotland who are more British than the English...William Wallace would turn in his grave.
For 200 years the Welsh resisted them, Wales had a population of around 200,000, England was 3 million, Scotland was much further away. Bigger armies invaded Wales than Scotland , Longshanks took 30,000, Henry the 2nd took 35,000. Wales is always ignored. i have a blog post thats 77 pages long of Welsh battles.
@kennymoore1480 The scots led a full invasion for Henry the 1st. thats how it was back then. The English conquered Wales so the people had no choice but to fight for them when required.
Watching an ancient history documentary about the Wars of Scottish Independence: When the Scots decided that freedom was worth more than haggis, bagpipes, and yes, even whisky!
Firstly, *no* such thing as an 'American', at least, there's maybe a handful, maybe not. Let me explain... The *United States of America,* along with the people, were *sold,* in _1913,_ by Wilson and *both* parties to a cartel of _zio bankers,_ who *legally* converted the entire package into a _Corporation,_ which they *registered* under the name _United States,_ dropping the *America* part, in order to comply with International Law! The _zio owners_ employed the former politicians as *overseers* to supervise the slaves and to act as their proxies, in the day to day running of the _Corporation._ The zio owners, in some dodgy but ironic twist of fate, pay full Corporate tax, on due date, to none other than the *English Crown!* So, you see, unless someone is over the age of one hundred and twelve years of age they are *not* an *American,* because the country *ceased* to exist in 1913, I mean it *legally* ceased to exist! They are *slaves,* whether they like it or not, know it or not (few of them do) the *property* of the _Corporation_ trading under the name _United States!_ Right, that's out of the way, so here's another set of factoids, which also have a link to the OP question... Scotland, way back, comprised of *40%* of the UK population. Surprised? This was in the 1800s. Cue the clearances, supressions, transportation, low life expectancy of those staying, starvation, casualties in wars and emigrations and the figure stands at it's current *8.4%* of the UK population! Our population has dwindled, it has been reduced by over *three quarters!*. Some ended up in the Carolinas, cotton picking, incidently, sold by their *own* clan chiefs to a life of slavery, having been lied to and told they were headed off for a new life in the Americas, a life of luxury, rather than the truth, that they were sold into slavery or, if lucky, indenture. What I'm saying is a lot of our _near_ ancestors were sent to the English colonies for things as desperate as stealing a loaf or digging up some potatoes to feed their kids. Some went voluntarily, in the hopes of escaping starvation, hypothermia or both or just to give their family a better chance in life. Me, I spent 30 years in England, where I met other Scots, some shifting with their families, at a very young age, some born of Scottish parents, or one Scottish parent or maybe a grandparent and I have never met folk so fearsomely proud of their Scottish ancestry! Same with those in the former English colonies, some regarding themself as a fifth, sixth, seventh, whatever, Scottish exile, joyful and proud of their ancestry. We're aw Tam's bairns. 😁
In-between scotland and England was the border rievers , when the map shows the map of Scotland the border was Cumbria, although it was Edinburgh,, the rievers stopped the Scottish and the Romans, THE BORDER RIEVERS
Aye, is that right? 🙄 So, are you descended fae ravers (ah suspect yer aff yer heid) sorry, reivers? They were a few small clans, either side of the border, so hardly a dinnertime entertainment for either army, besides, they didn't even exist in Roman times, but if your wee story brings you comfort, well, just you keep kidding yourself. 🤪😂😂
@billyandrew amazing the Romans have records and accounts of fighting the rievers . It was the Romans who drew the line . Look at historical maps . Before the Romans. The Romans made the picts land bigger . Like when scotland went bankrupt and the Scottish king moved to England . Because Catholic King would not rule england, they bailed them out 1707 . Forming union 🤷♂️ sorry just facts . Not woke agendas
Robert the Bruce and other lord was just a cowards. William fight for Scottland without the help of these cowards. Because they know if they win the war Sir William will be the King of Scotland. So these coward playef Neutral and wait for the throne to be given to them if England won. Imagine if Robert The Bruce and othet Lords help Sir William? Im a Filipino and I love Scottland. And I love Sir William Wallace. Damn that was brave! ❤
Scotland was never conquered by England because when we entered Scone Abbey, we couldn't any biscuits. It really crushed our dreams of a biscuit-laden existence.
_Agenda 2030_ - nwo does *not* intend on their being any mouths to feed, *beyond* their chosen minority, the other *7.7 billion* of us to be eradicated. This was clearly sandblasted into the Georgia Guidestones and mentioned in Jake Rothschild's (may he rot in hell) 2011 interview with _Fortune_ magazine, which he later bought, destroying all back copies!
At no point in history was the map shown in the thumbnail accurate! Also Wales was defeated by the Romans and when they pulled out it was controlled by the English, but never subsumed.
Please, do. We'll take our *22%* of the _Shared Assets,_ which topped out, 12 yrs ago, at around *£14,000 billion,* making Scotland's settlement just over *£3,000 billion* What, that alone will _bankrupt_ England? Yes, it will, won't it? The _IMF_ and others have reduced England's credit rating to it's current *AA-* and failure to pay our share would see their credit rating probably drop to at least *A-,* causing their lenders to call in all debts with nobody willing to give them credit, until their debts had been vastly reduced. Poor English taxpayers, who'd bear the brunt! Of course, it would also put an end to the *£200 billion* Scotland puts into the UK economy, *annually,* as David Cameron let slip, in a _BBC_ interview, *after* Indyref! Luckily, the Governenor of the BoE backed up those figures, just a couple of months later. So, just on those figures alone, not taking our resources, illegal plundered, into account or the stolen revenues, I say, let's go for it. *Hansard* made _official_ notice, mid 2023, that the _Acts of Union 1707_ did *not* permit England *any* rights to Scotland, it's territories or it's resources, leaving the door wide open to criminal charges of *fraud* and *deception,* against the Crown and Wastemonster, at some future date. In fact, that date is almost upon us. *SALVO* are currently over at the _UN_ courts, putting the final touches, after two year's work, to the paperwork that involves bringing civil and criminal charges against the Crown and it's govt! I know for a fact England will miss us, as the gullible cash cow we have been, for the last three centuries and their spending has been crazily spiralling out of control, borrow amounts so large, around *£3.3 trillion,* that, without Scotland, they *cannot* afford their annual interest payments! So, yeah, it's time we got this show on the road, it's time we got the financial millstone of England off our necks, so we can finally raise our heads to see the bright future that lies ahead of us!
The Scottish king Bruce was a norman. It is like if the anglo Irish had broken from England and set up their own monarchy. The Scottish people got played.
Nonsense, The Norman leader Malcolm, after conquering England he was given the lands of Northumbria (that was like a country between Scotland and England at the time. His son David, married the Scottish queen, he was King David the first of Scotland was well loved by Scots, he was responsible for many wonderful things in Scotland.... Scotland has ALWAYS been part of Europe and further, more friends than country we're bordered with.

In the words of Billy Connelly, there is no such thing as bad weather, Just the wrong clothes.
Summer just means hot rain in Scotland
The Scots are the friendliest people you will ever meet. But a word of warning do not turn against them as you will live to regret that as we are also the fiercest race in the World.

Thanks for this, well produced and explained. The Romans couldn't touch us and neither would the Vikings. Yet we still have the best comedy on the planet!
The Romans got as far as Orkney, and Garrisons reached as far as Stracathro, in Angus. It was the terrain of Scotland which beat the Romans, not the people.
The Vikings took the Orkney and Shetland Islands, as well as the Hebrides, down to Isle of Mann, as well as Vast areas of the mainland, from Caithness, Sutherland, right down the west coast, into Strathclyde, and down to Dumfries and Galloway.

As a Scot myself this is totally different to what i remember being taught at school..
What was or were the main differences?
decently close to what I was taught, as a scot
In my high school, only William Wallace was taught, not really the entire Wars of Independence, unfortunately.
Strange since I never got taught Scottish History at School, I can remember only learning British History. I can understand how they did this.
That's how you colonise a nation, you deny them their own history, while constantly reminding them of how great your's was, glossing over *all* the evil you've committed, blowing your own trumpet, while denigrating them at every opportunity, stealing their resources, while lying to them about how they're paupers and savages, even though they own natural resources worth trillions, were teaching girls in school, centuries before you were, had their own imperial monetary system, centuries be you did and even that you stole from them, adding the letter 'o' to their _Pund._
Over three centuries of that kind of programming, generation after generation, 'til the colonised start to believe the lies!
Because Scotland had real men back in the 14th century William Wallace and Robert de Bruce and many more. They must be turning in their graves knowing their decendent's sold them our in 1709 and again in 2014. Scotland will never get the recognition many people including athletes deserve in their own right. Sorry to say you've sold your country out folks just an oppinion from a proud Irishman.
Well said 👏👏👏
Whats being a man got to do with it? 💃
That's where you're wrong.
*SALVO* are currently at the _UN_ courts, putting the final touches to charges, both civil and criminal, that they're bringing against the Crown and it's Wastemonster govt, including the *illegal* _colonisation_ of Scotland!
Maybe you could elucidate on what occurred in 1709?
The _Acts of Union 1707_ occurred, strangely enough, in that exact year, 1707.
Were you, perhaps, thinking of that event?
As for 2014, it was gullibility, rather than cowardice, that led about *30%* of the voters to believe the constant lies and false promises made by Wastemonster and reinforced by the English controlled media.
I am Scottish and I understand the sentiment behind your post.
It's important to remember however that a lot of data shows that in 2014 it was people from the EU who swung the referendum against us. They were fearful of independence resulting in Scotland leaving the E.U. Ironic eh?
We should also remember that Scotland has a much greater history of resistance than Ireland.
Although obviously you, our Irish brothers, had greater success more recently.
@@sky37blue the thing is Scotland's resistance was actually successful un like Ireland's Robert de Bruce actually won independence for Scotland but between the union of crowns which was the beginning of the end of Scottish independence and the eventual act of union you gave away your sovereignty. I think that Scotland leaving the UK would be a bad idea your better off togeather but shurly you could do something like the EU and become independent within the UK where every country got credit for their achievements unlike now, Scotland don't have an official Olympic team that's sad in my book. You are a great nation who've contributed great things to the world but don't get the credit you deserve.
We Scot’s like the Irish have fought for centuries. We are fierce protectors of our people and our land. We are used to the awful weather and vast empty land. Romans and English could not hack the severity of our life and fight to the last man attitude. It’s genetic and still here today.
I remember years ago having a conversation with my father about why the Irish were considered such good workers we were both wet to the skin fincing on our farm and my father said this would be the nicest country in the world if we got abit of effin weather and I said the weather's the reason we're considered such good workers abroad because we get to take our coats off and out feet aren't been dragged down in the wet ground. As you said Scotland has far worse weather with your driving snow and your northern coldness so I'd definitely say climate has something to do with building resilience and toughness.
It's still here today? No, it's not. We allow anyone and everyone into our country, as a result our culture has changed radically over the last 50 or so years. You're obviously young, and have only known this 'new' changed culture.
Scots today are weak. Stop living in the past, Hazel.
The Welsh to..
Get over it. I definitely agree the fighting prowess is still in the blood, but you can’t say the English couldn’t hack doing battle with yous. You clearly don’t know your history. What would you say to the Scottish clans that forfeited to the king and sold out various other clans? Acting like the king doesn’t have full control over your land now😂 … it’s ok suffer defeat it was almost a thousand years ago.

@RoyalRegimentofScotland I believe you are wrong. The Romans conquered most of Scotland but were then told to return to Rome. Learn your history properly and stop listening to myths.
@@jimmyavpi - Scotland was never brought fully under Roman Administration. Scotland was too hot to handle, and too costly to hold under military occupation, in the areas that they did hold which is why they withdrew to Hadrian's Wall!! It was the same solution that Rome applied to Germania and withdrew behind the Rhine!
There were no Kings of Scotland. They ruled the people not the land. South of the border they owned the land and not the people. It's simple, get it right.

As a Scotsman I can confirm freedom is all we’ve wanted for centuries, even if I’m proud to be apart of the UK I still like to look at Scotland as independent sometimes.
It was Scotland who wanted to form a union, Scotland who refused to leave in 2014. So I'd say Scotland want more than 'freedom'

@@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons Scots literally rioted on the streets when the union was announced: What you mean is that the Scots landowning elite wanted the union because they were all going bankrupt, and the regular resident would've happily let that happen to them.

Once you're past the Central Belt and the East Coast (as far as Aberdeen) the whole exercise becomes a logistical nightmare for a conventional army.
Even the Romans failed but left us some nice roads, two walls and the occasional camp.

No we don't
The late Queen's mother was from the Castle of May, North coast of mainland Scotland. The late Queen''s's father as a German, name change from the German family name around the time of WW1. So, no English blood at all. The current King's father was a Greek, with some European royal family blood. King Charles has no English blood at all. Prince William 's mother was a Spencer, a family that has its roots in Jacobite history. So, Scotland has conquered England already.
It's not about ancestry or DNA. That's a very ethnocentric view of things. I'm Scottish, and while my ancestors have all been Scottish for a millennium, that's not what makes me Scottish. When Charles isn't cosplaying in his kilt, he's clearly English. I'm clearly Scottish, even in a bathrobe. That's what makes the difference.

Scotland has invaded England at least 25 times. France and England were close and friendly nations until 1066.
Never ever forget this small statement “England will never defeat Scotland as long as 1 Scot is breathing”
It has been well documented that the reason the Romans and later the English could not conquer Scotland was not due to resistance but because of midges. The Antonine wall built by the Romans was constructed of timber and turf, which when made damp by the inclement Scottish weather, made the perfect conditions for midges. No medication was available back then and the constant itchiness became infected due to scratching. This caused the occupants to beat a hasty retreat. Even today, mere tourists are advised to medicate before going there. You can be wandering peacefully through the spectacular Scottish landscape when suddenly clouds of the bloodthirsty creatures appear out of nowhere and attack relentlessly.
Don't forget ferocious wild haggis..
@@henrydale8783 Yes, whilst ferocious wild haggis sightings have been claimed, evidence is rather sketchy. A bit like the Loch Ness Monster. Whereas, owners of pharmacies right across Scotland will testify that supplies of bite and sting cream always seem to be sold out.

Yes but the Welsh helped the English to invade Scotland also.
@kennymoore1480 The scots led a full invasion for Henry the 1st. thats how it was back then. The English conquered Wales so the people had no choice but to fight for them when required.
Watching an ancient history documentary about the Wars of Scottish Independence: When the Scots decided that freedom was worth more than haggis, bagpipes, and yes, even whisky!
Right how many americans are claiming ancestry on this vid???
I did a DNA & funny thing I’ve thousands of DNA matches in the USA & Canada over 17,000 infact
Half of them couldn't tell you where pretty much any country in the world was if you asked them
Firstly, *no* such thing as an 'American', at least, there's maybe a handful, maybe not.
Let me explain...
The *United States of America,* along with the people, were *sold,* in _1913,_ by Wilson and *both* parties to a cartel of _zio bankers,_ who *legally* converted the entire package into a _Corporation,_ which they *registered* under the name _United States,_ dropping the *America* part, in order to comply with International Law!
The _zio owners_ employed the former politicians as *overseers* to supervise the slaves and to act as their proxies, in the day to day running of the _Corporation._
The zio owners, in some dodgy but ironic twist of fate, pay full Corporate tax, on due date, to none other than the *English Crown!*
So, you see, unless someone is over the age of one hundred and twelve years of age they are *not* an *American,* because the country *ceased* to exist in 1913, I mean it *legally* ceased to exist!
They are *slaves,* whether they like it or not, know it or not (few of them do) the *property* of the _Corporation_ trading under the name _United States!_
Right, that's out of the way, so here's another set of factoids, which also have a link to the OP question...
Scotland, way back, comprised of *40%* of the UK population.
Surprised?
This was in the 1800s.
Cue the clearances, supressions, transportation, low life expectancy of those staying, starvation, casualties in wars and emigrations and the figure stands at it's current *8.4%* of the UK population!
Our population has dwindled, it has been reduced by over *three quarters!*.
Some ended up in the Carolinas, cotton picking, incidently, sold by their *own* clan chiefs to a life of slavery, having been lied to and told they were headed off for a new life in the Americas, a life of luxury, rather than the truth, that they were sold into slavery or, if lucky, indenture.
What I'm saying is a lot of our _near_ ancestors were sent to the English colonies for things as desperate as stealing a loaf or digging up some potatoes to feed their kids.
Some went voluntarily, in the hopes of escaping starvation, hypothermia or both or just to give their family a better chance in life.
Me, I spent 30 years in England, where I met other Scots, some shifting with their families, at a very young age, some born of Scottish parents, or one Scottish parent or maybe a grandparent and I have never met folk so fearsomely proud of their Scottish ancestry!
Same with those in the former English colonies, some regarding themself as a fifth, sixth, seventh, whatever, Scottish exile, joyful and proud of their ancestry.
We're aw Tam's bairns. 😁
In-between scotland and England was the border rievers , when the map shows the map of Scotland the border was Cumbria, although it was Edinburgh,, the rievers stopped the Scottish and the Romans, THE BORDER RIEVERS
Only in your head 😂😂
Aye, is that right? 🙄
So, are you descended fae ravers (ah suspect yer aff yer heid) sorry, reivers?
They were a few small clans, either side of the border, so hardly a dinnertime entertainment for either army, besides, they didn't even exist in Roman times, but if your wee story brings you comfort, well, just you keep kidding yourself. 🤪😂😂
@billyandrew amazing the Romans have records and accounts of fighting the rievers . It was the Romans who drew the line . Look at historical maps . Before the Romans. The Romans made the picts land bigger . Like when scotland went bankrupt and the Scottish king moved to England . Because Catholic King would not rule england, they bailed them out 1707 . Forming union 🤷♂️ sorry just facts . Not woke agendas
@billyandrew and from 1707 it was a Scottish king who ruled England . When did thar bloodline end
Well condensed I have to say!
Amazing video thanks again ❤
Wales isnt England
It was taken over by England
It was then
It was then.
How dare you
Robert the Bruce and other lord was just a cowards. William fight for Scottland without the help of these cowards. Because they know if they win the war Sir William will be the King of Scotland. So these coward playef Neutral and wait for the throne to be given to them if England won. Imagine if Robert The Bruce and othet Lords help Sir William? Im a Filipino and I love Scottland. And I love Sir William Wallace. Damn that was brave! ❤
King of Scots, not Scotland.
Year 1296 this is more than decade !! let Scotland Free 💙 long history!!!!!!!!!
Scotland was never conquered by England because when we entered Scone Abbey, we couldn't any biscuits. It really crushed our dreams of a biscuit-laden existence.
@TheMelbournelad What exactly was the circumstance there with England being conquered by Scotland?!
Scotland Forever!
Nice one braveheart
Your thumbnail map is incorrect
Next one 2030 where everyone is in jail for hate crime
It will be the usa to that's global
_Agenda 2030_ - nwo does *not* intend on their being any mouths to feed, *beyond* their chosen minority, the other *7.7 billion* of us to be eradicated.
This was clearly sandblasted into the Georgia Guidestones and mentioned in Jake Rothschild's (may he rot in hell) 2011 interview with _Fortune_ magazine, which he later bought, destroying all back copies!
At no point in history was the map shown in the thumbnail accurate! Also Wales was defeated by the Romans and when they pulled out it was controlled by the English, but never subsumed.
Scotland needs its own monarch! Separate from the U.K. The English are so different from Scots, especially us Highlander’s.
We dont need a monarch waste of money
We don't want a monarchy. But we do need political independence.
Is the playback volume low..?
We must Support The Independence of England from Scotland.👌
No
Yes
Yes
As a Scot we hope you succeed as we don’t need you and your compatriots
Please, do.
We'll take our *22%* of the _Shared Assets,_ which topped out, 12 yrs ago, at around *£14,000 billion,* making Scotland's settlement just over *£3,000 billion*
What, that alone will _bankrupt_ England?
Yes, it will, won't it?
The _IMF_ and others have reduced England's credit rating to it's current *AA-* and failure to pay our share would see their credit rating probably drop to at least *A-,* causing their lenders to call in all debts with nobody willing to give them credit, until their debts had been vastly reduced.
Poor English taxpayers, who'd bear the brunt!
Of course, it would also put an end to the *£200 billion* Scotland puts into the UK economy, *annually,* as David Cameron let slip, in a _BBC_ interview, *after* Indyref!
Luckily, the Governenor of the BoE backed up those figures, just a couple of months later.
So, just on those figures alone, not taking our resources, illegal plundered, into account or the stolen revenues, I say, let's go for it.
*Hansard* made _official_ notice, mid 2023, that the _Acts of Union 1707_ did *not* permit England *any* rights to Scotland, it's territories or it's resources, leaving the door wide open to criminal charges of *fraud* and *deception,* against the Crown and Wastemonster, at some future date.
In fact, that date is almost upon us.
*SALVO* are currently over at the _UN_ courts, putting the final touches, after two year's work, to the paperwork that involves bringing civil and criminal charges against the Crown and it's govt!
I know for a fact England will miss us, as the gullible cash cow we have been, for the last three centuries and their spending has been crazily spiralling out of control, borrow amounts so large, around *£3.3 trillion,* that, without Scotland, they *cannot* afford their annual interest payments!
So, yeah, it's time we got this show on the road, it's time we got the financial millstone of England off our necks, so we can finally raise our heads to see the bright future that lies ahead of us!
The English wonder why everyone hates them eh 😂
I don't hate them
Jealousy? Doesn't take rocket science mate
If you think everyone loves the Scots, newsflash, they dont
Well, we don't. It isn't worth wondering about. And they don't hate us either.
Long Live the United Kingdom of Britain and Ireland! You are proud to be English speaker. Welcome to the global language
The Scottish king Bruce was a norman. It is like if the anglo Irish had broken from England and set up their own monarchy. The Scottish people got played.
Bruce was born in Scotland and his mother was Scottish, his father was born in England, his grandfather was from Normandy!!!
Nonsense, The Norman leader Malcolm, after conquering England he was given the lands of Northumbria (that was like a country between Scotland and England at the time. His son David, married the Scottish queen, he was King David the first of Scotland was well loved by Scots, he was responsible for many wonderful things in Scotland.... Scotland has ALWAYS been part of Europe and further, more friends than country we're bordered with.
