Not so sure you know anything about tinkers ? And the damage that way of life did to the people who lived it ? My mother was a Tinker from Furnace next to Loch Fyne , I could tell you the real story of that way of life, not the Hollywood version you promote 😢
Didn’t flinch n the gunfire 👍 If you are in the Castle wait for one of the guided tours I’ve been on a good few and while all the guides have their own styles all excellent.
Well, that certainly was a strange video...
Opening times 1 April to 30 September: Friday, by guided tour only on at 1pm & 3pm. Tours last for 1 hour.
The French have "Eau de vie" and Scandinavian have "Akvavit". They share the same meaning with "Uisge Beatha", the "Water of Life".
Great initiative...my sincere gratitude to the all who have involved. In this fast changing world cultural preservation is very significant to disseminate the knowledge and skills to the future generations.
Was Agnes Smith's family ever brought to justice? Andrew Lamb went on to marry two women and left issue. Beautiful singing, by the way!
My baby is beautiful my favourite name și SAMA ❤ Ana Maria fier Girls heart ❤. I love my baby❤❤❤

Maes Howe is a Cymric Brythonic Celtic name. Field of Hywel
I like Rough Castle near Falkirk very much, now a lovely, peaceful place and good for a picnic. I wonder whether Robert the Bruce ever visited and maybe got the idea from the Romans of digging the defensive pits he used so successfully against the English heavy cavalry in the battle of Bannockburn.
👌🏻
Thank you for your clear and beautiful pronunciation.
This is delightful thank you!
~~* HAPPY BIRTHDAY *~~
A nice overview, enjoyed the point about the Canmore database being Roy's most recent descendant, thanks for sharing. The image of the car from the 1905 rally (~4:30) is taken from the corner of Barrland St looking east along Maxwell Rd toward St Andrew's Cross/Eglinton Toll on the south side of Glasgow, all pictured tenements, happily, still extant.
Very good explanation - thank you.
TAM the GUN is looking a little feminine these days
Very informative chat. Thanks!
Stonemasonry is stil cool

What a wonderful voice this lady has! just lovely! To be able to sing in this way, unaccompanied, , so much skill.
It's a wonderful treasure trove and just amazing that it has been made freely available online. Mòran taing!
Can you imagine the breeze up their togas:)
Thought it was that sibh?

Thank you so much for this interesting tour. ❤️
I really enjoyed this video. What a beautiful contribution & tribute. Thank you for sharing.🌿🌹🌿
The podcast, The Cruelty, on bbc sounds, narrated by Davie Donaldson is brilliant.
I was 20 minutes into this video before I noticed Frans 'pronouns' are displayed. I absolutely refuse to buy into this woke BS, so I'm afraid it's a thumbs DOWN from me, regardless of the video content.
3:29 aren't those fumes toxic?
The curse of morally bankrupt leaders runs right through history to this day.
Tha mi ag iarraidh uisge beatha.
Looks like a lovely place to visit. Thanks for sharing this.
You know everyone defines these things differently. I grew up in the Mohave Desert, I was born in Inland Empire, my parents were born in LA, but my dad grew up in old Mobile, an Alabama town which borders the Mexican gulf, before moving back. None of their parents or grandparents are from California, they came from Mobile, Chicago/St. Louis, Ohio, and Oklahoma Indian Nations before heading to California in 1940-1960. So none of the American settlers of the westward expansion between 1800-1900 are my ancestors. We're as new to California as immigrants who arrived between 1940-1960. But that's where we're born, everyone we're descendant of came from the other side of America entirely 2000 miles away and then from other places also the before that.
I did a week adventure training there in 83 before I enlisted in the army. Very nice up there and very cold too. It’s a shame it’s no longer an actual regimental posting anymore. I think the Gordon’s were there in 83?
White privilege?:)
What about other wooden objects, like boxes..... etcetera
Gorgeous place! Thanks for sharing! 🇨🇦🧸✌🏻
I didn't think the poem sounded disrespectful at all. He was describing a woman's attributes. To have shining black skin and huge lips, to have the night (as opposed to the day) fight for you sounds like any other sonnet of the time to me.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. Sadly, this poem is undeniably racist. The first verse, which we didn't include in this video, refers to her as having skin like a toad and a nose like a cat. Combined with the repeated and blatant sexualisation of the subject, this is unfortunately a very racist poem. You can read more in depth about its content and context here: medievalkarl.com/general-culture/dehumanization-animality-and-honor-on-william-dunbars-racist-satire-2/ There is some more background to this video over on our blog (blog.historicenvironment.scot/2019/10/moorish-lassies/) and in this study of the written evidence and historical background relating to Edinburgh Castle in the medieval period www.historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-research/publications/publication/?publicationId=41613211-710f-4197-a087-aae700b49d71&_gl=1*1s59cmt*_ga*MTY0Njk0NzU2OS4xNjcxMTg4MDA4*_ga_LFVMXMFPCX*MTcxMTM2NjEyOS40MzUuMS4xNzExMzY2MzQyLjU5LjAuMA..
So you say she was different from everybody around her, why are you talking about somebody that you don't care for. Chance b as a Robertson she is likely part of my family. Should we talk about blonde hair and blue eyes girls in North Africa under the colonial Nations of the Islamic States. What type of education she could have had under Islam? Poor poor lass
🧡🧡🧡
I'm an English Romany gypsy but my grandmother was a Young from the border of England and Scotland. The discrimination has never gone away. My father still lives by the side of the road in a caravan and told me only a few years ago that barely a week goes by without someone driving by and shouting abuse out of their car at him. He's in his late 60s now. Imagine that your whole life.
My husbands maternal side are the Youngs and we're the Baillies. x
There's only one 20 pitch Gypsy camp in Edinburgh, so most of us are council scheme Gypsies and Travellers. x
You mean reservation! Because that's all those sites are. It's disgusting the way they have stopped people camping up and down. There's a place near Appleby, People have camped for hundreds and hundreds of years, and now the council have dug it up and made it a ditch. I left England and bought my own land in Ireland last year. It's not possible to live the way our ancestors did anymore.
Brilliant Stacey 👍
A goot ol’ bowl of parritch! 😋
Long time member of Historic Environment Scotland. Although I don't live in Scotland, I am a frequent visit; my only child, her husband and babies live there. We love visiting Edinburgh Castle during the winter season for the lights. And every spring, they go to Linthigow for the jousting and associated fun. Craigmullar is another favorite. So grateful for all you do to preserve Scotland's glorious history.
Kirsty gives the impression of competence and great pride in her job and her heritage of Scottish history . Well done lass.
