Anglo Saxons? Nothing to do with the Highlands...you mean Scots and Picts?

excellent video just subscribed

I've heard to this day at Clan Gatherings here in CALIFORNIA "Never trust a Campbell".

Nice one Sam. Your a master at alternative routes to these high places! Watched your videos for a long time now and still think these munro adventures are the best!! Paul

Nice documentary, many thanks for creation. Found this as part of my preparations for my 1st trip to Highlands. Hope his work will never be forgotten.

By far the best and most truthful documentry of Scotland!

there is no way i would like to have lived in those days

Lovely terrain

Brilliant - thanks for uploading.

I have oft pondered, do MacDonalds eat Campbells Soup?

Man these videos are criminally under rated. The quality of the information and delivery here is superb, your dry humour had me nearly spitting out my porridge at times! Bravo my friend 👏

lord of the isles title must've caused confusion with the wider island group or groups maybe 21:33

Top notch story telling mate. You’d have been a valued bard back in the day

The house at Glencoe has been the subject of intense vandalism of late targetted at the last owner Jimmy Savile.

McDonald’s = foreign terrorists.

descended to Hidden Valley yesterday... An idea of doing it in Winter feel RIDICCULOUS! I did two winter ascents of the easiest Munros (Ben More, Stob Binnein) and I promised myself to NEVER DO THIS AGAIN. Had some close calls in low visibility as well. Conclusion: I will only climb Munros when it's nice weather, clear skies.

Awesome man. Lost world climb is a classic. Met him in 1994 alongside Chris Bonnington at Glencoe just before climbing Ben Nevis in a winter storm. Didn't appreciate it as much at the time, but it slowly catches on. I did not know that he climbed in Caucasus. Could have had a great time just like we did with Chris.

4:37 can you please give me the source for this backround image? i think this was the painting of George Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Cromartie, handing over authority to James Douglas, 2nd Duke of Queensberry.

Just watched this amazing documentary, well done again it's a hard subject to make entertaining. Well done you managed that feat❤

I'm a subscriber and I'm learning allot from your channel and loving it so thank you my family history is Irish but love Scotland and have shared history.

My 13th great grandfather was James MacDonnell, brother of Sorley Boy. We ended up in the American colonies. So much pain. Even my dad shared in the pain of being of this lineage. So much lost. Just heartbreaking. Pain doesn’t stop because your family is relocated. Again, absolutely heartbreaking. Never home. We can never go home

Criminally under-rated amount of views for the sheer production quality

Beware the weather. Started up Bidean nam Bian (this was 45 years ago) in pleasant weather. Around 40 minutes in and the fog/cloud came down, fast. Socked in. Got a bit lost, came down to Hidden Valley. It was like Gormenghast with the fog and the moss on the rocks. Utterly magic, but make sure you have the kit; Bidean can bite.

MacDonald here, from Sunderland, im guessing some of my ancestors settled here during the civil war when the Scots were fighting the royalists

the outer wilds theme tune was a surprise 😂

Great video thanks for sharing. The ‘MacDonalds’ viewing this video will love this wee true story; Alastair Campbell, the very twisted & hated Spin Doctor of PM Teflon Tony Blair, you know the British Prime Minister that ordered the invasion of Iraq, murdering millions of innocent people. Well, Alastair Campbell was chucked out the Clachiag Inn, Glencoe. Where there’s a Sign over the Door; ‘No Hawkers or Campbells’ I’m from the West Highlands, a Presbyterian loyal to the Court of St James & our British Royal Family. My family were a Hanoverian Clan fighting Bonny Prince Charlie & the Jacobites. We hate Edinburgh, the corruption & lies of the Scottish ‘Government’. Never trust anyone from the East of Scotland!!

I'm a technophobe and have no idea how you can make such top quality and I'm my opinion as good as BBC ect no better than good wit unbiased and educated.Well done I'm now a subscriber and also I'm a Munro bagger❤

Excellent work with this and the two previous videos! I learned a lot. I really enjoyed your sarcastic jokes in the first episode. Here you had a more respectful tone, fittingly in tune with the greatness of the atrocities. Thank you!

Not many people liked the Campbells. Pretty much everyone was at war with them. I know the Macgregor of Glenstrae and Campbell of Argyll were deadly enemies.

I am Macdonald on my moms side. My moms dad, his mother , was hewitt/hewittson, which is a sept of clan Macdonald

My Grandfather was Alexandra Mac Donald of Ronald Moore .

1:01:51 What location is this with the stadium behind the cathedral? Thank you for producing and posting these episodes. They’re beautifully crafted.

VIKING VI=6 SIX KINGS

This is the most in depth account of the Glen Coe massacre I have ever heard, and I say thanks for the research and posting. One only has to visit the area briefly, to get a hint of the atmosphere; which I have more than once. I would recommend this and the dramatised version, featuring James Robertson Justice..

I should add the viking families in the Macdonald family go back to Antiochus the first antichrist in the book of Daniel.. its a crazy history them vikings had

My x6 grandfather was Ewan Macdonald grandson of William Macdonald of Aird and valley, Ewan was sent to tasmania as a convict more so a political prisoner with his sentence was also added he was never to return to GB...pretty handy for the women like men in power today 😂

Well worth the wait. Informative, insightful and entertaining. More detail than I’ve seen anywhere else on Darien which was an unexpected bonus, albeit quite a bleak and sobering chapter in our history. Kudos Sam, love your work and you deserve a much bigger audience.

Good work sir by the way

My name is Jamie Gow Stewart Robertson MacDonald MacKeinzi MacGregor .clan Campbell u don’t want to meet me on a dark night .

Whiskey was a big incentive (and factor?) in invention of the barrel

I think there are some bias around the glorious revolution. Although as said it wasn’t excepted as a whole but the GR was the nail in the coffin of monarch absolutism and the start of parliamentary supremacy which I think was ultimately a good thing

I hope you do not regard that as a great achievement.....

6:00 - I don't think that is a fair summary of the Reformation. Talking about indulgences as "catholic tradition" is like talking about whoremongering as a catholic tradition just because some popes whored. You might have as well talked about the "inherent racism of protestantism", which would actually have more of a doctrinary basis if we were to judge by Luther's own writings. You could have just talked about "papal corruption" or something that didn't sound like a manichean good vs evil reductionism. Also, no, indulgences do not get people into heaven, they do not exempt people from their sins. 16:42 - In this case it might be true for some contemporary perceptions, but we should be careful not to pass it as ageneral rule. You could, for instance, ask the very much Catholic enactors of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 if they were pro-authoritarianism or pro-democracy, or to all those many historians who see a direct link between Lutheranism and Nazism. And you can tell the many Protestant believers in predetermination if they have "more agency and intelligence of their own" than the many Catholics who believe in free will. 24:04 - Spain was still the 2nd global power, definitely ahead of England and the Netherlands. The myth of Spanish decadence in the 2nd half of the XVII century has long been debunked. Spain had lost its hegemonic position, not its great power status.

Summit is a noun not a verb!

I am a McDonald. My father’s DNA shows that we descended from Somerled. However, there are a lot of gaps that I would love to fill . My 5th great grandfather was Capt John McDonald born in 1742 . He fought in the Revolutionary war. Capt John Mc. Arrived ( with Cherokee Indians) at Abaco Bahamas after the war in 1783. He settled there in a place now known as Cherokee Sound. That information is confirmed with historical record. I suspect that Capt John’s father and grandfather were both named Alexander MacDonald . The only sure record I have is from an interview with John McDonald - Magistrate & School master of Cherokee Sound, who stated that his grandfather was a Loyalist soldier, and his great grandfather a ship builder in the river Clyde. I’d LOVE to know more about

“ Warring Picts and Anglo Saxons united in defence “ ? 1500 hundred years ago the Anglo Saxons had been settling Northumbria from what’s now Edinburgh down the East coast for a mere 50 years, they were no where near the Western Isles ? and “when Scotland was inhabited by Picts and Anglo Saxon tribes” there were two wave of invasion? the Anglo Saxon were the invaders and what about the native Brythonic Briton’s who inhabited the west coast of Scotland from Dumbarton castle all the way down to Wales at the time, no mention? The historical inaccuracy’s in the first 5 minutes set a tone of fiction to come !
