The innaccuracies described are not surprising but the overall power of the movie was tremendous! This episode of "Forgotten History" was, as usual, very educational. Thank you Prof. Heaton!!
I never understand why film makers don't just show the true story, when its 10 times more interesting that the Hollywood version. Recreating the battle of Stirling bridge would have been just as entertaining, if not better than the movie's depiction.
I never saw the movie, and I'm only 1% Scottish, but all history is interesting. I watch Neil Oliver, and I've learned some things about the current situation in Scotland, it's certainly a very different world we all live in and we could all use a hero.
You have made as many mistakes as the movie , As a Scotsman it's as plain as the nose on my face , Scots Highlanders have always worn kilts ,it's clan tartan that came later ,and it wasn't the black Douglas at the Battle of Falkirk bridge it was Wallace and Andrew Morray , that's just a few mistakes ,but overall not to bad
My grandpa×7generations is Gen'l John Buttrick. On April 19, 1775 at The Old North Bridge in Concord, MA, he gave a command which was posthumously deigned "the shot heard 'round the world" (via Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Concord Hymn"). This designation continues to be controversial (particularly in Lexington). PLEEEZE investigate my G7's TRUE contribution to our American 🪖 military history. imo: John Buttrick deserves massive street cred & a good amount of glory, yet he's rarely (if ever) mentioned in American history. How do YOU view his efforts as a Colonial Minuteman? I'd love hear your voice tell his story...?

You are welcome. We will have many more to follow.
Anytime!
Hard to believe the Braveheart movie is just shy of 30 years old. Time passes far too quickly. Enjoyed your video, watching from Canada🇨🇦🍁
Thanks for watching!

Every nation needs its hero’s.
Indeed.
More on Friday the 13th and the templars… please
Great idea. We will consider. Thanks again.

Watch the Outlaw King instead
Neil Oliver is a right wing conspiracy twat - 0r is it birds of a feather flock together?
Look to Jesus.
Just want to say I'm a new viewer to your channel and the contents are fantastic. So glad I came across your channel. Great work.👍🏼
Awesome, thank you and thanks for watching!
There were a few howlers in the film, but good entertainment
Great job 👍 Thanks for sharing ,!

The satue in your thumbnail is in my home town Aberdeen, Scotland and that ain't no statue of Wallace.
Hahaha who is the statue
Didn’t know any of the facts. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
After watch brave heart next film follows it is the outlaw king
Saw that film, Outlaw King is more historically realistic.
Great video! If you take requests, would love to know about how accurate is the movie “The Last of the Mohicans”.
The story was fiction, but what you see on film is pretty damned accurate. Thanks for watching
Great movie and any other Michael Mann made
Thanks, I would never have known. It was indeed great entertainment.
Thanks for watching.
The only real thing between the movie and the man,,, it was inspiring
Can't argue that point. Thanks for watching
scary that only the awful gore was accurate. 🙄.
I think there is another more older reason for the Friday the thirteenth thing.
Iam really liking this channel. But I love the movie and sure like that version 😁
Thank you and concur, great movie indeed.

Colin lived in Scotland for four years and researched through the University of Edinburgh. The first official mention of the kilt was around 1500.
