    During the Normandy landing in 1944, the Black Watch regiment brought its best piper, who walked up and down the beach and played all throughout the landings (he was literally one of the first to hit the beach). The Germans never shot him, because it was considered very very bad luck to deliberately kill an insane person. Upon hearing this, a comment was made 'he's not crazy, he's a highlander'.

    I'm blessed with an almost even split of Scottish and Irish blood. Born and bred in Scotland and intensly proud of this. And yes this music stirs my blood to point that I would gladly pick up the broadsword,even at my age.Fantastic.

    I am from The east coast of Canada , of Scottish descent (Isle of Skye) I do agree they were great warriors. The trouble is most times they couldn't see past there own clan . Because of this The Brits defeated and subdued them . I met a group of Scottish tourists from Edinborough . I made a comment in the Gaelic . They just looked at me . I asked if they spoke the Gaelic to which one answered "No we are civilized " . I damn near puked on his fancy shoes.

    The word "Celt" derived from the Ancient Greek word "Keltoi", and was used to describe the people whom we call the Celts. The original inhabitants of Scotland were the Picts, also called the Pritenae. Later on, immigrants from Ireland called the Gaels settled into the region and originally fought against the Picts. Later, they eventually intermingled and formed the Scots we know today. Some clans also trace a heritage to the Viking and Norman invaders along with their Celtic ancestors. :)

    The modern English term Gael derives ultimately from the Old Irish (Ancient Gaelic) word Goídel. Ethnicity is a complex subject and difficult to prove on way or the other. But the gaelic family of languages, (Irish, Scottish, and Manx) had their origin in Ireland an so likely did Gaelic culture.

    @TheJacobiker Also, the Gaels were an Irish tribe called the Scotti from Ulster. Scotland has been a mix of Picts, Gaels and Welsh (all Celts), Wales has also been a mix of Welsh and Gaels. The Irish, Scots and Welsh are one people and should be brothers in arms. I will be voting Aye for Scottish independence and I urge my Scottish brothers to move to Wales before our referendum to vote Ie (yes) in our independence referendum when iut comes. Cymru am byth!

    Heather despite seeing Scottish Regiments in paintings from the Crimean War Defense of Balaclava and Wellingtons use of the Scots Greys at Waterloo. It is a fitting tribute. Those men who joined the Colours of the Scottish Regiments were still Scots. And Remember many of them joined the Army out of the need to feed their Families after the defeat at Cullonden and during the Clearances of the Highlands. Don't let any one disparge their Service and their Sacrifice. My opinion only

    @TheJacobiker I think no matter the disambiguation, we later also had Norse blood flowing in our veins and shared our cultures, I think today the best term, as many of the peoples today are more so intertwined in the northern reaches of Britain, it is just better and more encompassing to say CELTS!!!!!

    Consider this. That many of those same Scots were Farmers and Clansmen. They lived in an enviroment of Harshness of the Land itself. But loved their Glens and Hills. It was The Blood and their love of their homeland and their families. That made them fierce in Battle. Consider this too. That many a Rebel in the Revoluntary War wore stocking socks and knee length Pants. Yet fought the British. Tell me where is the difference lays

  • @glorfindelfgh
    @glorfindelfgh 12 років тому +1

    Gael just comes from the Latin root word for Celt, which is more or less Gal. IE gaul, gaelic, galicia, galatia, etc. Scotti was the Roman term for the Irish. The Irish settled the western islands and coast of what is now called Scotland, and through a dynasty switch Pictland became gradually know as Scotland. IE the Gaelic Scots are directly related to the Gaelic Irish.

    the tune thats played on the bagpipe is the theme from the last of the mohicans isnt it? incredible song nonetheless, it awakes an archaic instinctual rage within a person that motivates one to go and tear something apart with your bare hands
