Haha - "Shite on yer shoes", love it! Btw, Scottish horse towed the canalboats by swimming ahead of it. They were specially bred with webbed hooves and worked in teams of six, called a Kelpie!
Spent 26 years living 10 miles south of Glasgow, it really is a great city. Scotland is a great country, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Hopefully get back there later this year as I live in Australia now.
I live in Stirling where I grew up, so I’ve been to all these places around me, many times in my life. The Falkirk Wheel is a wonder of engineering and well worth a visit. The Kelpies are magnificent especially at night when they are lit from inside with varying colours. Scotland is such a beautiful country with so much history and so much to see, you really must visit 💚🏴
The very best content by Rick Steve - entertaining, educational, interesting - well filmed and done with style. Something that was well worth reacting to.
Glasgow (pronounced GLAZ-GO) is 30 miles from where I am sitting - wonderful city, I spent the vast majority of my working life in the city, and was my home for many years too.
That was a fun video, especially the Highland Games. I used to be a Highland Dancer. It takes alot of stamina. I remember all the dances but I think I'd have a heart attack if I tried doing them now lol
You don't need to have a drop of Scottish blood in ya to love the sound of bagpipes. It just stirs something in the soul. There's a reason Canadian soldiers in the World Wars had a bagpiper play them into battle.
The Falkirk wheel is genius engineering it takes only a few Kwh to turn it because the gondolas carrying the barges are automatically always exactly the same mass on either side no matter how much either barge is loaded. A full barge can go up while an empty barge goes down because enough water is displaced out of the "heavier" gondola to perfectly balance with the "lighter" one.
I live about halfway between Glasgow and Stirling, I don’t visit Glasgow so much but Stirling is my stomping ground. Love your reaction to my home 🏴
James the sixth of Scotland is the confusing King you are thinking of. He inherited the English throne while still King of Scotland in 1603 in an event known as the Union of the Crowns. Scotland and England were still independent kingdoms from each other but both ruled by James. He is also known as James the first (of England) because there had not been any Kings of England named James prior to him.
Glasgow has its own whisky distillery too, right on the River Clyde, in a building that was part of the shipbuilding industry. St Mungo is the affectionate name for St Kentigern, mungo means darling. I live in Glasgow, we also have a Viking history that connects St Mungo to the Kings of Strathclyde. You'll have to visit here 💛, bring your wellies and your waterproofs, it rains a lot 🌦️ (Edinburgh is drier but colder, and completely different. ) 😊xx
He never mentioned it, but the castle in the background with the piper was Inveraray Castle. With its gardens, nearby sea loch and 18thC planned village it really is a lovely area.
Glasgow is miles better than Edinburgh. I'm English so not biased. Glasgow people are so friendly and you could spend a week there without running out of things to do.
Thank you McJibbin, cannot remember when last I enjoyed a UA-cam video that much. Have subcribed, in appreciation. Much love to you and family from the Irvine valley in East Ayrshire, Scotland and the sight of the iconic, extinct volcano and it's plug, known as Loudoun Hill standing proudly over the surrounding landscape, a truly awe inspiring place of silence and ancient spirits,. It was here where two important battles were fought and won during the Scottish wars of independence against the English, first by William Wallace in 1297 and then by Robert the Bruce in 1307.
There is a new video, where they found graves of soldiers from the AR battle of Camden, one of them was a British Highlander, the Scots came all the way to the States to honor this one lost soldier.
As a Scot who lives near Stirling I loved seeing your reactions. And don't believe folk who say Glasgow is better than my home town Edinburgh, it's not. Wait until you see where Edinburgh Castle is, it will blow your mind...
Your comment that some paintings just make you happy , I absolutely agree with you 👍 yes look up the Falkirk wheel IMO it’s a world engineering wonder 👍🏴
Tom Scott did a video on the Falkirk Wheel. It really is a special piece of engineering. I would also highly recommend looking into Charles Rennie Mackintosh a bit more. I don't think people understand how important he and his wife was to the world.
I know that accordion player!! ... when he was a baby I was in the same car when we had a nasty accident ... fortunately neither me nor him were injured. He's a great player now.
I live the next county along from Falkirk and I've been to the Falkirk Wheel a few times. It's fascinating to watch it in action and tourists can go on it.
The Glasgow City crest depicts a tree, a wild robin, a bell and a fish with a ring in its mouth. All of them are connected with the legends of St Mungo, also known as St Kentigern
It’s Glasgow’s Coat of Arms…. All four of the symbols depicted in the coat of arms are attributed to legends regarding Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow. St Mungo, who founded the monastery which is now Glasgow Cathedral, died in the year 603 and his feast day was set to the January 13. Given how far in the past St Mungo lived his life, the stories and legends of his time can vary. Most people remember the symbols depicting his relationship with Glasgow by the following short poem.
Yeah the battle of Stirling Bridge was a William Wallace one , you’ve heard it from Braveheart probably . lol you got that one right . I think the black paint on the cannons is just a relatively modern anti rust paint an wouldn’t have been original . 👍🏴
Whisky in Scotland is mostly all made in the Highlands of Scotland like the part seen in the video is just one of many . Whisky is Scotlands largest export to the World with both Blended but also Scotlands unique Malt Whiskies which is only country in the World well known for its making of Malt Whiskies .
He actually said Falkirk correctly, I mean local would be Faw-kirk, but Fall-kirk is good. I once watched a whole documentary about the Wheel & not once did he get right, drove me nuts. Falkirk has been famed for many things down the years - battles, bits of Antonine Wall, cattle trysts, cannons & red telephone boxes 😁 Surprised he didn't nip along to Linlithgow Palace. You should check out the Billy Connolly murals.
Glasgow is still recovering today with the mistakes of the past glasgow always re invents itself with new regeneration projects hopefully the city will improve even more glaswegians are friendly witty and very helpful
Ben Nevis is so beautiful to climb, there are pockets of lakes in the mountain, really nice that there is a decomishioned weather hut on the summit, filled with snacks by others who reached the peak for anyone who may have travelled light when walking up..no view and few to no people at the peak, nor can you see well due to the fine rain like snow, so stone clusters help guide you instead, my condolences to anyone who reaches the peak as the sun is going down, as you'll go walking back in the dark, prompting helicopters to look for you. As almost happened. :p Will get there by sunrise next time on the longest days, as those mountain lakes need to be explored.. come on Summer!!! Forgot I was using my Father's tablet after he forgot to take it. :p
For a short while my parents had a flat in Glasgow, and I often passed through. His comments about the Glaswegians are spot on - it is a very friendly city. The whole UK plays bowls. Whereas many areas play Flat Green Bowls, here in the West Midlands of England many play Crown Green Bowls, where the green is deliberately not made flat, and each green is different. Stirling is at the end of the Firth of Forth. There is no big distance between the Firths of Forth and Clyde. Anybody trying to get between southern and northern Scotland has to go through this narrow gap; but this is further narrowed at Sterling because a huge bog - Flanders Moss - was impassable for armies, further west was dense woods, mountains, and a huge lake - Loch Lomond. Therefore there was only a strip a few miles wide any army could go, with Sterling Castle blocking it! I have not visited the Speyside distilleries, but the Upper Spey is one of the most beautiful places I know. There are virgin forests - not densely packed together like plantations - of a very beautiful tree, the Scots Pine, and the pure light is extraordinary.
They got the horses to pull the barges by swapping their hooves with flippers. We also used to get them to pull our trains by swapping the flippers for wheels... We left pulling our planes to the unicorns.
Glasgow is a very harsh city but underneath its beautiful... Like a lot of cities i guess... Glasgow is special though as it was and still is a jewel of the industrial revolution that somehow got forgot about despite it exsisting even before london did. Its a touchy subject.. most Glaswegians cannae wait to tell ye they are from there...that in itself speaks volumes ❤
Battle of Stirling battle William Wallace won the battle, Robert the Bruce won at Bannocknurn but it’s commonly known that it was his general Murray who was the mastermind behind the victory
The original Kelvingrove Museum opened in 1876.[3] It was housed in a much enlarged 18th-century mansion called Kelvingrove House, to the north-east of the current site, Which then the new museum was built back to front in error and that the architect committed suicide when he realised what had happened - the tale is always strenuously denied of course, but it`s part of Glasgow folklore.
My great great grandfather Allan Carswell was a school master - but also a farmer in his later years and he farmed North Greens at Airth ( where the games were held in the video).
like australians we call everyone mate till you aint lol ,,,Harry potter reference mungo could be from the town she mentioned only in the books ,one which they flew over in the car has a famous mungo ,hadnt thought of that till you said it .Battle of stirling bridge was genius in warfare using a macedonian Alexander the great style combat ,15 foot long spears or sarissa against a mounted charge
Oit, Connor, You should learn violin. I started at around 7 and picked it up fast, as I am certain you will. They do say learning an instrument keeps your mind young and helps ward off many diseases of age. You never get bored when you have an instrument to devote time and thought to.
He didn't mention Glasgows Grand Ole Opry in Paisley road West. The home of Scotlands Country and Western live music. Often dreadful but mostly a good night out.
Highland Dancing is a mans dancing, The Sword Dance Gillie Callum, for a victory, a successful cattle raid, Seinn Briogais(OLD Trousers)first part is dancing in trousers, the faster second part is the freedom of dancing in the Kilt, there are others, the Hawaiian Hula for men and women also used for story telling!

Some Weegies are hauf biled like Govan for instance. Edinburgh folk, unless they're hauf biled, call it Glesgie Ken. Lanarkshire is doon the road fae me and Glesga is common there. Nae hope fur them. Glezga is a shibboleth, by that word shall u know them.

I was a bit worried about watching this at first because often things arent exactly correct in videos in my country and city of Glasgow, especially done by Americans, but he done not bad.

You don't need to have a drop of Scottish blood in ya to love the sound of bagpipes. It just stirs something in the soul.
There's a reason Canadian soldiers in the World Wars had a bagpiper play them into battle.
The Falkirk wheel is genius engineering it takes only a few Kwh to turn it because the gondolas carrying the barges are automatically always exactly the same mass on either side no matter how much either barge is loaded. A full barge can go up while an empty barge goes down because enough water is displaced out of the "heavier" gondola to perfectly balance with the "lighter" one.

James the 6th of Scotland becames James 1st of England - so he gets known as James the First and Sixth.

Enjoyable video of Glasgow showing a lot of the really nice places to go here and our great art work. Also other places in Scotland aswell
Walter Scott wrote many famous novels , inc Ivanhoe 👍🏴
James VI of Scotland was James I of England. He was the the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. I'm impressed by your knowledge of Scotland. Well done
The piping demonstration was at Inverary Castle, and the ending was at Eilean Donan Castle - a long distance apart, but well worth visiting.
Gotta say my eyes got a bit wet there when he was at the Highland games and the pipes were playing 👍🏴
