Love the lesson!. My father's family are from Scotland and some still live in that beautiful country. My son and I visited Scotland and visited the area of the battle. Thank you.
Bruce, I'm glad you made it clear that William II & William III (William of Orange) were one and the same person. This was something left out of the history book given me as a child. I believe many more than me were duped by historians with their own religious/political leanings.
Love your history Bruce, my name is Morrison, But my Grand Mother was a MacDonald, Im 77yo and live in Quebec Canada , My Dad spoke Gaelic before ever speaking English, my Dad was born in 1895, when i was born my Dad was 55yo, thats why the age Difference, Keep up the great work
Hello Bruce. I really enjoy your videos. Serious history with a touch of humour. I asked my Scottish wife ( Fifer, no less) a question and she suggested I ask you. With all the joint history between England and Scotland what part did Ireland and Whales play? PS: we look forward to seeing your shows in western Canada. Cheers.
Always worth hearing your commentary on these matters. I always wonder what happened after such horrific events. I don't have a head for political manoeuvres but the lawsof karma are unfailing
As ever a very thoughtful and learned look at that terrible event. I've been threatened so many times over what happened hundreds of years ago. I wish I could say my replies were of the type to cool down hot heads. I am glad I can't remember them anymore. My best to you sir!
My old granny Munro enjoyed a wee whisky occasionally and always raise a toast to the little gentleman in a black velvet jacket. As a young curious boy I asked her about it one day and she went in to tell me about it and Glen Coe and various other Scottish and Irish points in History, which, in turn ignited my passion for Scottish History ever scince.
Bruce's parting comments about William's perspective on the Glen Coe Massacre reminds me of M Bison's line in "Street Fighter", "But, for me, it was a Tuesday."
JUST ANOTHER PHENOMENAL PRESENTATION!😎👏 (These are all totally brilliant, Bruce!) I had NO IDEA, myself, about any of these details & found it totally riveting... (I meant to comment as well about last week's video!)🤭Only Fummey could make a talk about money😜both entertaining😆& hilarious!😂👌 😊I absolutely love the Ochils💙btw... (Castle Campbell's gotta be my favourite!) 👀Wait!😳Did "someone" just say Campbell?!😜 😱"RUN FOR YER LIVES!"😂😂
Hi Bruce...I'm always amazed about the telling of the Glencoe massacre that its rarely if ever mentioned about the massive massacre of some 1200 plus men women and children by the McDonald's and other clans. This i believe happened about 20 years earlier and its frequently and conviently ignored?...both obviously not right but 1200 plus souls slaughtered verses i think about 38 souls. The link is there between the two massacres...it would be good and interesting to redress the telling with some facts showing the two incidents in comparison and the chronological connection.
Your all mixed up it was the campbells that did the slaughtering they fought with Cromwell and William off orange and George the hanoverian German king and his butcher son the Duke off Cumberland traitors to scotland and scotlands shame
As someone who comes from MacDonalds on both sides of my family, the massacre at Glencoe is particularly close to my heart. Thank you for covering the details so thoroughly Bruce. Appreciated!
MacIain is something like my 10th Great Grandfather we are descended from his surviving son John of Glencoe.... but you've got to remember that these families were all related to each other.. Robert Campbell of Glenlyon was related to MacIain of Glencoe through marriage. There's a high possibility that you are also, like me, descended from the Campbells of Glen Lyon and Robert is an 11th Great Uncle of mine. History is complex
Kinda does sound like fate had his number and called it. Thank you for the amazing history lessons. Also, I dont do pubs or bars but that one there was calling my name🍻
Aye Bruce, it's the old Intensive Care doctor in me that is piqued by this yarn. Anyone who has fractured their clavicle will tell yer, it is painful and takes many months to heal. I suspect the dear king probably had also fractured his upper ribs, a terrible injury that would kill many a young man in those days and a few older ones these days. I do hope the sweet man did not suffer too greatly. No, I do! Honest!
Let's hope you are not actually doctor, sneering at the suffering of others like that. William III was the first constitutional monarch, and held by people far brighter than you to have been our finest King.
Bruce, you should have mentioned that, after a wee skirmish in Ireland, Wullie also came out with a line of merchandise…..from big sheets on sticks, tae tea towels and polo shirts. He was a complete canute, but had a great marketing department….
For an excellent book on the subject, John Preebles "Massacre at Glencoe". Still in print. Also his whole catalogue of books dealing with Scottish is outstanding. I encourage anyone with an interest in History, to collect his books.
It has always struck me as very strange that Scotland went for union with England after Darien. I guess bribing MPs was even more rampant then than now as was being economical with the truth.
The Alien Act, confiscation of land owned by Scots in England, along with an implied threat of invasion from English forces just over the border and in Ireland, didn't help either.
The reason you find it strange is because you've taken Scottish lies as the truth. I admit the Scots aren't on the same level as the Irish & welsh when it comes to bullshit, but they do like to distort the truth. The portrayal of England vs Scotland only came about 20 or so years before the union, as before that, the Scots hated each other far more than the English. England or the rulers of England had no interest in Scotland or Ireland, they were only interested in stability, the only real invasions was by the church, any other conflict was in response of aggression. There's a reason they built 3 great walls to keep the Scots out(not that they worked)
@@chrissearle6176having lived in England for a number of years I can say without fear of contradiction as far as bullshite goes the English are hard to beat. I say that as someone who lived in France for nearly a decade and they have their own version of the truth on most things
what a video, i've been subbed for a few year now. saw your gig & the stand Glasgow, after failing to get a ticket to a local to paisley show. i took my dad & before it he was talking about billy Connolly, & i said don't be expecting the greatest comedian in the world, who happens to be Scottish, you will see the best comedian that will tell you a bit about Scotland's history & he also happens to be Scottish, with dredds, lol. my dad loved the show & then when you announced some dates & 1 was kilbarchan, I booked a ticket for me & a pal I knew would love it. I don't know why this Story hit different. the wait for it, the way you told it, the way it came full circle, probably the fact i've been stuck in hospital fae Tuesday & know I wasn't getting out till moday, & that you usually drop the video at the weekend. i'll be trying to get tickets now for this new show, even if I need to travel.
You can say that again my macdonald ancestors lived near glencoe in the 1600s many in the area had to drop their name for a few years or hide some macdonalds were tipped off it was a cowardly act to take hospitality then murder people in their beds
The gay prince prodestant lowland Scots fighting on the English side slaughtering there own people on a foreign king say so first a dutchmen then a German 🏴🇮🇪🇲🇫🇻🇦🙏
...come to think of it, a slightly beside point; shouldn't the King's tittle be ''WILLIAM I of GREAT BRITAIN'? -Maybe you've already made a program about this.
No, nobody has ever been a monarch of Great Britain. The concept came in with the Union of Crowns in 1603 and James was VI of Scotland and I of England, Similarly his grandson James VII and II. The argument you put would be better made for the United Kingdom, but that wasn't till 1707 after William's death
My Dad was 100% Scottish. My Mum was 50% French, English. I was totally confused. Sunday morning would deliver the stench of kippers. Every other day would be a repast of overcooked slush. The first Campbell I ever met gave me a feeling I could not shake.
And why do you think they asked King William in the first place, he had the Royal Stuart connections , his mother was Princess Mary, daughter of Charles 1 and he married his cousin Mary Stuart , daughter of James V11. They all acknowledged that she was to known as Queen Mary. That’s the reason William became King . Get the facts right. I belong to the Stuart line .
Met many people in Australia with the Surname Munro and Campbell in my life ,seem to be decent people.Lot of them also on the War Memorial list of fallen in Canberra.I think this is a bit of toss by people with too much spare time,and pint's.😮
In February and March I'll be visiting the major towns in Australia and New Zealand with my live show Scotland Made the World. It would be great to see you. Get info at www.brucefummey.co.uk/shows.aspx
Little dig on the Scottish descendant, The DONALD…..I’m extremely confident, he would assist and recognize an independent Scotland….so put that in your pipe!!!!!🏴🇺🇸🏴🇺🇸🏴🇺🇸

Cracking story, Bruce.

Hi, always wondered what the aftermath of the massacre might be, not taught at school! Love your work my friend! 👍👍👍
Thank you
@ScotlandHistoryTours You are more than welcome 😁
Thank you Mr Fummey. Great history lesson shared in the most inviting spot. We wait all week for your newest upload. You never disappoint. 🖤
Ah, so nice of you

Brilliant
Another fascinating video Bruce. Your videos are one of Saturday's highlights for me 👍
Brilliant
Hello Bruce great video Scotland is so beautiful
"Here's to the wee man in the velvet jacket"! An old Jacobite toast.
Bruce, I'm glad you made it clear that William II & William III (William of Orange) were one and the same person. This was something left out of the history book given me as a child.
I believe many more than me were duped by historians with their own religious/political leanings.
Aye cus Bruce doesn't have any prejudice or bais. Scots killing Scots again and blaming everyone else for it.
Love your history Bruce, my name is Morrison, But my Grand Mother was a MacDonald, Im 77yo and live in Quebec Canada , My Dad spoke Gaelic before ever speaking English, my Dad was born in 1895, when i was born my Dad was 55yo, thats why the age Difference, Keep up the great work

Thank you for that Bruce.

Stop trying to deflect what the murderous campbells did with there orange king scotlands shame
As someone who comes from MacDonalds on both sides of my family, the massacre at Glencoe is particularly close to my heart. Thank you for covering the details so thoroughly Bruce. Appreciated!
Campbells back stabbing bar stewards on a foreign king say so this action was vilified world wide
MacIain is something like my 10th Great Grandfather we are descended from his surviving son John of Glencoe.... but you've got to remember that these families were all related to each other.. Robert Campbell of Glenlyon was related to MacIain of Glencoe through marriage.

what is with that sign in that museum... "No Hawkers or Campbells"?
What do you think.
It's at the door of the Clachaig inn at Glencoe.
A tounge in cheek reference to undesirables.
Aye Bruce, it's the old Intensive Care doctor in me that is piqued by this yarn. Anyone who has fractured their clavicle will tell yer, it is painful and takes many months to heal. I suspect the dear king probably had also fractured his upper ribs, a terrible injury that would kill many a young man in those days and a few older ones these days. I do hope the sweet man did not suffer too greatly. No, I do! Honest!
Let's hope you are not actually doctor, sneering at the suffering of others like that.

Is there anywhere a compilation or account of the deaths and other suffering that occurred in support of the "bloodless" 'Glorious Revolution?'

I think some people take pride in hating Campbells even today. I think that's slightly ridiculous.
I agree
I think my family was on the wrong side. My aunt did a family tree going back to the reformation to prove there were no Catholics in the family.
William the second???
Of course
CHILDREN O THE MIST.
Maybe not straight after but after culloden these clans and many like them were decimated and ancestral lands taken.
If you are not going to drink that pint then please give it to me!
This king William was a right prick .
Aye, he'll split opinions right enough
They all are the history of royalty and nobility is full of them.
The pricks were the easily bought Scottish clans
William 111, the king . Not William 11.
Ah, a Dutch usurper followed by a parade of Hanoverian usurpers to the present day. How lucky we are in Scotland.
As opposed to the Italian bloke Charles

Just a pity a lot of folk in Scotland worship this guy after he things he done
Maybe ask what other Kings did to Scottish people simply based on a different religion to theirs.
Explain your self.

What country are you in?
He was William III in England, but William II in Scotland.
@@Rockall57yes
Yup. We from the US have recently been very unfortunate to be reminded what a failed assassination attempt can do for someone's popularity.
True
Bruce, what happened too those Campbell's who committed the massacre? Even today the clan Campbell has a bad meaning for me.
We’re probably rewarded by the government for carrying out their business. Just as today’s royalists are rewarded for support in many professions.
