Great video. A marker to Baird and Hardie and a plaque commemorating them are in Stirling, where they were executed. A real injustice. Thanks for this.
Thank you, Julie and Martin. I'm a U.S. citizen with Scottish ancestry and lived in St Andrew's and Edinburgh for a few years in the 1970s. Also a left radical. I hadn't known about this either. You're doing important work.

Thank you! It's not all castles and brochs..... I love the variety in the history. One day I'm clambering over a 3000 year old burial cairn, the next, exploring a victorian canal!!!

Yes, an unnecessary use of force. Poor folk just standing up for their rights 😔
@Exploring Scotland's History absolutely.
The victors write the history. Thanks for another informative visit.
Indeed they do!

Yes, this part of history is sometimes forgotten 😔
thank you for a fascinating and really interesting story.
You are most welcome!
Thank you for sharing, I'd heard of Peterloo but not the Radical War. It's important to make sure the past isn't forgotten.
I'm quite determined to make sure it isn't. Tbf, we don't seem to be learning from any of the historical blunders.....🙄
Good grief, I'd never heard of this! And I was at school in Paisley !Thank you for all your research..You are opening a closed book...
How much Scottish history did you get, though? I know in Northern Ireland we were subjected to Henry 8th and the War of the Roses 🙄
@@ExploringScotlandsHistory TIght enough, we got very little indeed.And so much about the Tudors! I hope things have changed.
Excellent video. I did know about this, but it's good to get it out there on this medium.
Glad you found it interesting
New subscriber. Good video and thanks for talking about this topic. Little known chapter in scottish history!
It's almost like history is repeating itself. We never learn!
Thanks for making this video. So sad.
Sad and avoidable 😔
@@ExploringScotlandsHistory Very true, just like our times now.

Thank you! Wellpark is nicer in summer, we lived in Greenock for a few years so saw it in all weathers!

1820 Scotland and many of us know nothing of this because it was hidden from us.
And tbf, happening again...just with different names as the players 😔
@Exploring Scotland's History you're spot on there.
