Hello.... My name is David Carnachan and I was born in Troon Scotland in 1954. My family moved to USA in 1959 where I have lived and raised a family. 4 wee ones and 9 grandchildren. I pass on stories to them all about our Scottish heritage. Your U-Tube videos' have given me so much history and presented in such a beautiful Scottish way that I pass them on to my family and others. Thank You!!!!!! Your awesome...

Keep up the great work... I'm watching.
My Grandparents were Scottish my Mum first born here in Australia I absoultly love the history of where my family is from and this channel is brilliant for helping me learn more and more about the land my family is from . Watching from my home in Brisbane Australia. Cheers to you

Boy...if I ever needed a diagram. Interesting story. Thank you. I enjoy your videos so much. I know so little, other than the big picture, about Scottish history, each video is a wonderful discovery.
I love the enthusiasm when you teach! Telling history as it should be told .my own history teacher was like you always gave you that little bit more knowledge. I do think if politics would have allowed she "Mary" had the potential of being a highly successful queen 👸 bravo Sir can't wait for your next one 👏 ps Bliadhna Mhath Ùr!
@@crazyjane6570 Probably not! 😂👍🏼 I find that the folk who tell you emphatically that they’re open minded are usually the ones who are the least tolerant. The padlock on their minds is immovable and invisible.
Always been intrigued by Mary Queen of Scots and Joanna the Mad! Both were strong willed and in many ways misunderstood and used like pawns. Really enjoyed your storytelling...definitely got yourself a new subscriber!
Your channel just popped on my home page. Not sure why, but I am so happy about it. I’ve always been interested in Mary Queen of Scots and seen all the movies and television shows about her that I can. Just before the pandemic I took a DNA test and found out (big surprise, but a pleasant one) that almost 70% of my DNA is from the UK, and of that 70% I am 29% Scottish. So I kind of feel related. Anyway, as soon as I’m done typing here I am immediately going to subscribe. I want to know so much more about my ancestral homeland.
As an exiled Scot who thought he knew the basic story of Mary Queen of Scots, this was a valuable insight into her early life. Bringing history to life is a great skill, you got it dude.
This is fantastic presentation, thank you! I am so fascinated by the life of Mary. I'm just an American, but I feel like I may have had some past lives in Scotland or something. My heart and soul are so drawn to Scotland, it's stunning land and rich history fascinate me to no end. Physically I have no ties unfortunately, and I've never been there. There's just something about it that's so beautiful to me.
I live in crookston in Glasgow, just next to Darnley. Crookston castle is the second oldest building in Glasgow (to the Glasgow cathedral) and is believed to be the place where Mary married her second husband (lord Henry Stewart of Darnley/Lord Darnley) who at that time owned the castle. It’s beautiful to walk to at night and is open to the public!
Just discovered this channel . My youngest(adult) daughter has tracked our ancestry back to Wiliiam Frank(the conquest of Edinburgh castle, Sir Randolph, nephew of Robert the Bruce I believe) the Kincaids, & even further 13 generations before the first Lord. So be it
@@ScotlandHistoryTours my first video and already in love less than half way through. You remind me of my world history teacher in HS. I'm still "friends" with her now in Facebook. She always made history and the people come to life just like you! Thank you!! Gonna binge some Scottish history!
I always thought the greatest tragedy about Mary of Scots was that from age 4 until adulthood she was raised in France to be a good consort to a French King, which left her woefully unprepared to navigate Scots politics. Granted that was never part of the original plan but it nonetheless played out. Her father and son on the other hand grew up in the midst of it and more or less learned to manage it to greater or lesser degrees.
You just popped up into my UA-cam feed and I’m so glad that you did....well, when I say “you”, I mean “your channel”. I love history, but focus mostly on The British Isles , Europe and the States. You are my first Scottish channel and you make history energetic, interesting, and even fun. You make it all the better with your amazing accent....although I, being of the States, in reality is the one with the accent. Thanks, so much!! I have joyfully clicked, smashed and rang the bell (icon).
Just adding to the comments on your delivery of this history. You make it a pleasure - almost a guilty secret - to watch. Please just keep on doing it.
Very cool video. Hi from Dallas, Tx USA! I have noble Scottish ancestors from Stirling, Clan Forrester. You are a handsome man, love your dreadlocks, I used to have dreadlocks myself. I just found your channel, dropping a subscribe and going to check out more videos.
Thank you so much for uploading this video about Mary Queen of Scots, she's my favorite queen!! Also, I'm a Thai student studying in Scotland, and I love scottish history so much! By the way, why wasn't she popularly called Mary I of Scotland? This would've made it clearer that she was queen in her own right!
Good question. I don't know the answer, though she was the only Queen in her own right, as opposed to a consort. Also she must be the monarch since the monarch is the monarch of the people. Compare Elizabeth Queen of England and Mary Queen of Scots
Any king or Queen regnant of Scotland is King or Queen of Scots. Scottish kingship is of the people. The idea is that the king was primus inter pares. The first among the equals of his people, and crowned (at Scone) by the nobles of the country. This is to be contrasted with England where the king is monarch over the geographical area and the people are subjects. Perhaps a subtle difference, but a very important one. So calling her Mary 1st wouldn’t make sense in a Scottish context.
The maid of Norway was never crowned dying only days after ascending to the throne on her trip back from Norway. William and Mary after 1689 ruled in tandem (as both were legitimately claimants) and Mary after William’s death. She was Mary II both of Scots and Mary II of England. Anne was another Queen of Scots. Technically, all British Monarchs are crowned on the stone of Scone. So. Victoria was a Queen of Scots, and so too is our current Queen Elizabeth I, Queen of Scots - and when, in 1953, she ascended, post boxes in Scotland with E II R on them were defaced by Scottish Nationalists. The Royal Titles Act of 1954(?)ish solved the problem because the English would otherwise have been confused.
As a Brit I find a lot about the history of England but not so much about Scotland. Thank you for a very interesting video. I look forward to seeing more. I've subscribed so I won't miss any of them. All the best from sunny Thailand.
I do hope you teach at uni; University students really deserve better teachers, both for the info and to learn and master analysis. Not to mention they would appreciate you immensely.
You're a great talented story teller. I have a request which may be an interesting topic for you're consideration but of course I'm biased. My family is known as fighters here in Canada and my grandfather taught me the bagpipes so I did family research on Bell. I would like to see a video about the politics of "the last clan battle" The battle of Dryfe Sands. Appearently some Bells showed up and charged during the battle and helped to win it. If you find it an interesting enough topic no one else has covered it and it involves the Maxwells and Johnstones two great border names so people would watch it. My step mothers brother brought up that we Bells and Maxwells didnt get along historically, sarcastically of course at there wedding and noone got the reference except for me who had done some family history research. Anyways happy 2021 to you and I watch the videos. Great stuff man.
The Guise family were key players in 16th century French Politics, and are fascinating in a Game of Thronesy- kind of way. It's tempting to think that they're where Mary got her habit of getting involved in plots from, as it was a definite family trait. They never seemed to be happy unless they were scheming to murder or overthrow their enemies.

The Guise family were key players in 16th century French Politics, and are fascinating in a Game of Thronesy- kind of way. It's tempting to think that they're where Mary got her habit of getting involved in plots from, as it was a definite family trait. They never seemed to be happy unless they were scheming to murder or overthrow their enemies.

@@ScotlandHistoryTours Never sure how to reply to emojis. Love your videos anyway. If I'm not learning then I'm laughing.
My husband Peter Silva is related to Claude, Duke of Guise
Personally I like history that is rather history that could have been. Thank you though.😊
Stunning municipal car park.
