Land of the Elms- The Manor Home of Robert the Bruce
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- One of the great mysteries of Scottish history is the location of Robert the Bruce’s manor home in the ancient medieval parish of Cardross.
In this film I am guided by Stout Duncan Thomson of Strathleven Artisans and through recent environmental changes and discoveries, walking in the footsteps of what we believe is the location of Bruce’s home in the Pillanflatt, or Pailleanflath (Gaelic meaning Tent of the King).
I explore the King’s choice of home, the land he lived, passions he indulged in, and how he spent his final years before death took him on 7th June 1329.
Many thanks to Steve Burdett for the use of his eagle.

Seems very peaceful there by that river. Just by watching this on UA-cam make's me want to go there and spend the night
It is peaceful and beautiful, and I suspect even more so back in the medieval times where the forests it ran through would have been larger and inhabited by game. Bruce must have chose the location for giving him those same feelings of contentment and peace.
@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 contentment, and peace definitely with so many struggles with war and power with the English
Thanks min,that wiz braw ,being born a stirling lad,and raised
My dad was born in bannockburn,and took me to bruce"s monument at bannockburn when i was 4 yrs old,stirling castle many times,wallace monument,rob roy' grave and we fished on the river forth with boat and net every yr.
Now i live in the highlands sice 1977 its a braw place to be,but my home will always be stirling.I love the history min thanks.
Stirling firmly embedded in the heart!
Thanks for watching brother!
Fantastic. Once again you’ve produced another film looking at an aspect of Robert the Bruce’s life that is never or rarely talked about. Your enthusiasm and love for this period in history is manifest in these productions. Seriously well done.
That is deeply appreciated, thank you kindly!
very informative video.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching!
Yet another significant area, steeped in history, that has been kept from us and being desecrated. Remember 1320!! Ah Bruce ! Ah Bruce! Ah Bruce!
@@charlierobertson7784 Thank you kindly and yes, steeped in history and extremely important to the Bruce heritage!
I have lived in the renton all my days. This warrior King feels like my kith & King. I would follow such a man to hell and back and consider it a great honour to defend him. He certainly chose a magical place where two rivers meet.
It is a beautiful spot where the waters meet. Yes, you will certainly be walking where the king and his men once walked!
I am sure you have been to the Bruce heritage centre in Renton then?
Thanks for your kind reply. Yes, I know big Duncky well
@@k0smos798 a Prince among men he is!
Great enjoyable film. Many thanks. Can you consider a Carman Hill video with a view of King Arthur from an ancient Pictish perspective. Going back to the King Robert film, when you stood on that mound overlooking the King's estate at an "arrow shot" distance. I think that mound may have been some kind of burial mound, possibly. Havoc/Dumbarton has a cave next to a large unexcavated mound near the railway line and carpark. Thanks again.
@@k0smos798 Thanks for that, i may well do. i hope to be back through seeing Duncky soon. I release our discussion on the Bruce home this coming Thursday.
Brilliant video.. thank you for wonderful insights..
And many thanks to you for watching and supporting the channel, it is hugely appreciated.
Wonderful and educational film, thank you.
Fascinating to here about his nautical voyages sailing out of the river leven , then the Clyde and on to the islands.
Indeed. i look forward to doing projects about his life around the islands.
A great channel pal and you tell the history very very well articulate it brill too.
Are you org from stirlingshire,or the highlands pal? Funny that im fae cowie back in 70s born at stirling royal infirmary and now live in moray .my family history is from the coal mining,
My dad,grandad and great grandad were all coal miners as was my uncle,his 2 brothers and their dad.
My dad worked the maze mine,and grandad n great grandad the manor.which is now gone,and the enterance was where the old petrol station used to be on the way to alloa.
So much history on that too.
Thanks min for ye do keepin oor history alive n kickin. Tosh Quinn.
That means a lot brother, thank you!
I am from the Midlothians, just south of Edinburgh. Stirling has always been close to my heart (what's not to love?) and I visit it regularly now for years!
nicely done sir ! Thoroughly enjoy your telling 100%
Thanks for the feedback, I am very grateful for it.
Hi pal aye i cannae wait for the next bruce video.
Would love if you did a wee yin on the coal ind around bannockburn.
Aye n i used to play in the "white burn" with my cousin and friends fae fallin.and my family had a bit of land at the" old crook" thats noo the roonaboot before headin tae fallin.
Cheers pal love all the stories.keep deein fit ye de pal.
@@toshquinn2879 I’ve a few projects in the making. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
another great video, you do a great job of bringing the Bruce to life as a real person who lived, laughed and loved rather than the stereotypical historical view.
Thank you very much and thanks for supporting the channel.
Great video you’re knowledge always amazes me 🙏🏻
I am glad you enjoyed watching it as much as I did making it!!!
Thanks so much for doing this site. As you said, there's no other video about it like this, where you actually get perspective on his last home and days. Were you barred from seeing the foundations? There's a video out there that i saw a couple years ago purporting to be the foundations of his home. In case I'm lucky enough to get back to Scotland, can you give directions to this area?
I agree it's doubtful he had leprosy for all the reasons you gave. I'd have guessed a form of skin cancer from living outside all those years battling for Scottish independence, but I'm no doctor! I think I read something resently that debunked the idea of leprosy upon further medical investigation.
Thanks for doing this important work about an obviously great man. I bet he was larger than life and very imposing in a charming way.
I look forward to any comments to the above!
Hi Darlene
I released a video a few minutes ago where we speak about what was found and the area. More than happy to give you any details.
Thanks! Just watched it! I plan to watch it again. Great discussion.
merci, diolch
thankyou for very informative video...
could you do a video about
Isabella of Mar 1277 - 1296 the first wife of Robert Bruce VII, Earl of Carrick...
was her mother elen ferch llewellyn fawr, or lady helen of wales, daughter to llewellyn the great, prince of wales...
That will certainly feature in a future project.
Thanks for an interesting video. I didn't realise Robert The Bruce kept a Lion or Edward I had a Leopard. I wonder if Robert the Bruce had a skin condition that could have related to a degree of stress he might have been put under rather than Leprosy. Just a thought.
I think it is very possible, psoriasis is also possible, along with infection as he had a fair amount of battle wounds.
You're right. I hadn't thought of infection from battle wounds
@@sharonsharp4902 it’s very possible.
Braw 👍👍👍
No doubt about it!
How do you know Carman Hill fort is Pictish?
You are correct, I did mention Pictish fort in the film, just an assumption i made in my mind at the time of speaking with the knowledge it was an iron age hillfort. I don't think there are definitive conclusions about it being Pictish although it may have been.
Great video! Thanks 👍
Many thanks to you for watching!
I learnt recently that Robert the Bruce was Jewish.
It's even more weird. Scotland is actually biblical Jerusalem. Bruce knew. And no, I'm not nuts I know it sounds strange at first . David Alan Ritchie has some interesting decoding in his book We The Skythians if you're interested. Douglas never set off to the Israel in the Middle East.
@@Angel-zs9ln Curiously, Sir James, Lord of Douglas is only mentioned once, as a signatory of the Declaration of Arbroath. Otherwise, the author remains silent as to the peregrination of Sir James and his company, or their unfortunate end. The suggestion is that Spain is code for The River Spean. A conspiracy stretching over seven hundred years, led by such luminati as , Lord Hailes, Sir Walter Scott, Sir Winston Churchill and numerous churchmen masquerading as chroniclers, has succeeded in diverting attention from the truth. Or....
I did read something about Jewish ancestry in Scots in the periods they entered the land of Scotland.
@@Angel-zs9ln Now that is interesting...
Y-DNA R1b-L21 L513 and FTB15831
Overview of R1b-L21 L513
R1b-L21 is a subclade of the larger R1b haplogroup, which is one of the most common Y-DNA haplogroups in Western Europe. Specifically, R1b-L21 is often associated with populations in the British Isles, particularly among the Insular Celts. The L513 subclade, also known as DF1/S215, represents a more specific lineage within this haplogroup. Individuals belonging to this subclade can be found across various regions including the British Isles, Scandinavia, Benelux countries, France, and parts of Germany.
Significance of FTB15831
The designation FTB15831 refers to a specific individual or sample that has been tested and classified under the R1b-L21 L513 haplogroup within the Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) database. This identification number helps researchers and genealogists track genetic lineages and connections among individuals who share similar Y-DNA markers.
Genetic Characteristics
Individuals belonging to the R1b-L21 L513 haplogroup typically exhibit certain Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that define their lineage. SNP testing is crucial for understanding genetic relationships and ancestry. The presence of these SNPs can provide insights into historical migrations and population dynamics.
Historical Context
The R1b haplogroup has its origins traced back to ancient populations in Eurasia. It is believed that members of this haplogroup were part of significant migratory events during the Bronze Age, particularly those associated with the Bell Beaker culture which influenced much of Western Europe. The spread of this haplogroup correlates with the expansion of Indo-European languages across Europe.
