Ways Scotland Has Been Totally Mistreated Throughout History

- On a Scottish history timeline, you can see how the English have used, abused, and downright insulted Scotland. Slurs, jokes, and awful stereotypes aside, the English were responsible for the most horrible atrocities committed in Scotland.
The 18th-century Battle of Culloden and its aftermath were particularly difficult for the beautiful, culturally rich country, but mistreatment didn't start or stop there. Scottish history facts are full of examples of disputes and hardships, many of which may make you sympathize with England's northern neighbor.

In one of my British History classes in college, the professor had mentioned Hadrian and I asked "The wall guy?" and the professor emitted a tired sigh and said "Yes, Bob, the wall guy."
😂
You should do this for Wales as well, there's a lot of material there
I'm Welsh on my father's side, apparently. To this day, the Welsh are the butt of jokes and torment.
Nothing exciting came from Wales besides things related to golf and middle eastern fried chicken that is supposedly better then American kfc
@@Grinningfartking6969 Depends on what you consider "exciting" 😅
The Welsh have been treated badly for a long time.
And Ireland too
For sure!
You forgot to say that we actually voted in the majority for our own government in the 80s but Westminster basically said "nope, not enough of you voted so it doesn't count"
Sounds typical of the English. Makes me even more proud that we 🇺🇲 broke away from the Crown in the American Revolution.
Yes it has to be one of the bloodiest borders in human history. The northern England and Scottish border.
Anything north of the wall of Hadrian is utterly worthless
@@optimusprinceps3526then why not let them go independent?
They joined england,and had a vote to have independence which was rejected
@@davehoward22 under false premise, remember that one of the strongest arguments was that they would be out of the EU without a clear way in. Then 2 years later they were taken out anyways against their will and are now refused a 2nd referendum.
Typical English foul play.
@@abbofun9022 EU idea and experiment is a dismal failure
You know it's sad when people forget we welsh had it bad to, everything about our culture was nearly destroyed and only recently were we allowed to even teach our native language
That's B.S welsh culture is awesome
It's true. The English were mean to everyone around them.
Apparently I have a large amount of Welsh DNA. I'm an American and I've only known about the Scottish and Irish part until I got the DNA test. I know vasts amounts about those cultures but nothing at all about my Welshman heritage. I intend to further research that soon..it's just odd to me I knew absolutely nothing. I know about all kinds of cultures and literally nothing about Wales. 😢
Wasn’t it illegal to speak your native language for YEARS in your own country.
@@supermarikfan sort of, it was illegal teach welsh in schools and our language was censored but it wasn't a full ban. It wasn't untill recently that welsh was seen as an official language I think it was 2010 when it was officially a language
I’d love to hear about the Scottish who came over to America & settled in the Appalachians
They as read, settled in multiple places and farmed🤔
My paternal ancestors are from Scotland and settled in Kentucky
ya, they're all whacked out on crystal meth and Cape Town levels of poverty
Some of mine did in the Cash family
The Ulster-Scots. They came from southern Scotland to Northern Ireland then went from there to the American Appalachains. They are all Protestants. I am one but we stayed in Northern Ireland and Scotland 🏴🤚🏽🏴
Obe if my biggest grips is when they refer to wars such as ww2 as if they were fighting just England and they would say things like ' for the glory of England'. They completely overlooked and underappreciated the cintrubutuin of the Scottish, Welsh, Irish and other colonial powers. It just goes to show their superiority complex and the contempt they showed for other nations
6:07 In 2002, there was the Tri-State Crematory scandal.
At a crematorium, the owner's incinerator broke down and he was storing the dead bodies in a shed (unbeknownst to the public).
He was giving the families wood ashes in place of those of the bodies.
5:56 From the Weird History video "Surprising Origins of Popular Traditions," I remember that there is a difference between coffins and caskets, and that caskets were used during the American civil war to beautify death.
A+ video!
Very fascinating and helpful video!
O Flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again?
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him homeward tae think again
I've been to Culloden, and it truly feels like sacred/hallowed ground.
Here's tae independence!
Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage (one of my favorite bands) is from Scotland.
I read somewhere that she was a guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (who is also from Scotland) six times.
0:03 Trainspotting (1996) is a classic college film, we used to watch it often in college.
The Wayne's World reference @8:07 is one of the reasons i love Weird History. :)
Dodgeball reference at 5:39... the ocho
Well, this was something. Also, a nice Rocky impression.
Great video. I've always been interested in the relationship between England, Scotland, and France. There is some interesting reading from the different viewpoints about the same events. There are some who argue that the US Civil war has roots in the ancient conflicts between these three countries. My family came to South Carolina in the early 1740's from Scotland, then moved to Texas when it was settled about a century later. I would be interested in a video covering the escape of Highlander Clans to America in the 1740's.
My paternal ancestors are from Scotland and settled in Kentucky
Love ya stuff
Rocky yelling Haaaasdrian!!! Good one dude good 1
🖖excellent as always
12:33 The film franchise Highlander, starting with the awesome 1986 classic Highlander!
There can be only one!
Actually gagged a bit when you said, "Grab a warm plate of haggis. "
Why? Haggis is amazing!
Thanks for this. The Scot in me is happy you did this.👏👏👏👏
Thank you for pronouncing Jacobite correctly!
The weird history of the Acid Tests.
Do Wales next!
You mean like the Tudors?
What about a video on John Knox of Scotland? I would love to show my mother a video about one of her ancestors. :)
9:42 The song "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan is awesome!
The humor makes this #1....
What a sad history.
Appreciate the Highlander reference at the end!
Should do one on the history of all the different counties in Scotland history dialect different foods even super natural you would be really suprised about what you find 😊
You missed out on Robert Bruce....
This is why Native americans and Scottish people have gotten along pretty well
Really. Many of the Americans who slaughtered them were descended from Scots. Same with the Maori and Aborigines. Scotland basically populated the empire.
Lol
Sounds like yanky panky mumbo jumbo to me
Some of the worst slave holders in the Caribbeans were Scottish. Absolutely brutal. 😢
@@anncokaforsome of the worst slave owners were native Americans too. We all suck
Do a video about David I of Scotland
Well done as usual! How about a video about the origination of the Scots-Irish?
I’d like to hear more about Michael Scott-land.
My son married a Scottish woman
I’m so sorry.
who cares
👍👍
10:19 Two of my favorite MadTV sketches are "Sexual Harassment" and "Public School House Rock."
Please do one on Ireland.
Indeed. I would thoroughly enjoy England being booted back across the waves with steel-toed boots in the rear from Northern Ireland.👍👍👍
Trust me, as an Englishman we genuinely couldn't care less about Northern Ireland. Your average Brit consider you all to be Irish and would give it back tomorrow, it's the mad, protestant version of your lot that desperately wants to stay in the UK.
Whilst I'm at it, if England was given its own vote on leaving the UK the vast majority of us would vote yes. You think we want the Welsh and the Scots leeching off of us? You're mad if you think we're oppressing all these insignificant little countries, we couldn't care less if they left us but they haven't got the bottle to go it alone.
The Scotts have been mistreated? Have you heard of Ireland?
The Brits are certainly equal opportunity abusers. It was SO sweet when the Sun 🌞 sat on the Empire every 24 hours from 1947 onward.👍👍👍
I’ve heard of Ireland. Despite horrid mistreatment by the English military on its long way to independence, it surely has amazing rock bands like the cranberries.
Definitely a good episode, I to am from Scotland, Edinburgh actually, but it would've been a lot cooler if the narrator, just for this episode alone, was Scottish, You know...cause of our sexy accent... Lol! Anyway... another awesome video bràthair!
You Scottish DO have sexy accents tho! I'm quite jealous 😁
Just imagine if all those highlanders were immortals
There can only be one
Sean Connery is a highlander…fiction AND non-fiction
Seeing Sylvester from Rocky yelling that name twice really made my Wednesday afternoon even more interesting and funny. Thanks Weird History 😂😂😂
I looked into this after watching Outlander!!!! 🥰
With all the “glory” from the past, England is probably one of the least liked countries by so many nowadays because that once known as “glory” of ruling the world is rather embarrassing and shameful.
Really sad and I was thinking about tv show outlander
The anti-Catholic laws in Ireland were harsh, too!
Like my Great-grandfather McKenzie would say..." if it's not Scottish, it's craaap ! "
Nope.. that was Michael Myers...
Nice try... 🤣🤣🤣
@@edrozenrozen9600 Myers did Scottish characters on SNL but this specific reference is to The Scotch Tape Store sketch on SNL which predated Myers.

I lobe the show and books Outlander 💖💖💖
ESPN 8 "the Ocho" is my primary source of ambiguous sports
It should be noted that by the time of the Battle of Culloden, Scotland and England were already one country so it was more of a civil war rather than an invasion. Also, despite what the video claims, some in Scotland remain loyal to the Hanover Dynasty rather than support the Jacobites for their own reasons (eg. Some Catholic highland clans realize it might be best for their clan if they support the current ruling family or suffer the consequences for siding with the rebels or join one side to get back against another clan that joined the other side). Even the UK's Black Watch Regiment was formed by Scottish Highland clans who joined the side of the British government and help defeat the other clans that joined the Jacobites. Furthermore, when the British government perform the Highland Clearance, many of the Jacobite supporter lands were given to loyal Scottish nobles and not English nobles according to myth.
"one country" ??? Never have been, never will be, don't talk shite, mate!
We've never been one country!
Scotland & England have never been one country. LOL
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
This time eating pizza rolls (from the Weird History Food video "People We Never Realized Shaped How We Eat")...while watching this Weird History video!
Nice dodgeball reference
Scottish history and Scottish language was still banned in schools until very recently.
That is f*cked up! 😢
7:28 An executioner would be an awesome Halloween costume!
This is so sad
"Hadriannn" 😂😂😂😂😂
Now do one about how a disproportionate amount of Scottish military leaders in the British Empire and their role in the atrocities in the East India Company.
They love to minimise their role in the British Empire!
The Dutch East India company managers were just as bad if not worse, even though they came from different but related ethnicities (Low Saxon, Dutch, and Frisian too).
We'd love to leave your stupid little dictatorship as well
For anyone who hasn't liked and subscribed, you should. This channel deserves it. 💪🏼

He's obvously never been to Greenock.
@@CIMAmotor Hehehe Voltaire fibbed a lot.
Mary kept the head of our mutual ancestor Saint Margret as a Holy Relic. Apparently it was lost after Mary’s death.
I would like to know what really happened when the Vikings attempted to occupy England
attempted? They did for 100 years.
@@BarryTheBeef The last supposedly Anglo-Saxon king was Danish. Always surprises me no-one remembers his surname was Godwinson..
Same as Ireland
I want to see one with the Turkish and the Greek.
Completely, unnecessarily confusing. A rare fail.
Laughable inaccurate. I can only assume it is meant for an American audience?
First conflict between England and Scotland? Battle of the Standard, where Scotland attempted to snatch a piece of England whilst the latter was in a civil war.
Queen Mary? Chased out of her own country by Protestant nobles and probably safer in Fotheringhay Castle than anywhere else.
Act of a Union a hostile takeover? Scotland had bankrupted itself trying to establish a colony on the Isthmus of Darien. England paid that debt off in exchange for stationing troops in Scotland preventing France using it as a staging post for an invasion. So mutually beneficial.
Culloden had more Scots Lowland even Highland fighting on the British side. It was a religious struggle, with the Catholics of the Highlands and in the ‘15 rebellion, Northern English Catholic’s against the Protestant George’s.
If this is the best research you can manage, just give right up.
So everything you kinda mention was done by the Scottish puppets put in power by the English ?
The channel runner needs more accurate research next time.
Thanks for this (I happen to be half-Scottish)! 🌾 #WeirdHistory #Scotland #ScottishHistory
"They didnt like french fries": in the 12 century, no potatoes from the new world and they are from belgium... your script writer must really, really like history.
Bruh, it's a throwaway joke....
@@a3aan__uit389 you're totally right, I woke up cranky and it was my cuntness doing the talking.
12:14 hey whats wrong with some sensible sword control? Think of the children!
I bet they would not portray THAT execution(Mary)in s play on the stage!
Thanks Braveheart and Outlander for making Americans give a damn about Scotland
Those…THOSE….THOSE SASSENACH!!
Say what you want about Braveheart and it’s historical inaccuracies, I still think it’s one of the best movies ever!
More so w/ the Pattys!!!!!:/☘️☘️☘️
Do this for Poland, Korea, Vietnam, and of course Ireland
I think South Korea has developed at a later but much faster rate from the 1960s onward. In that decade, it was poorer than even Ghana!
But it also did its best to exist when it was forcibly controlled by the Japanese military, and before that, it was the renaissance period powerhouse of a once bigger (but not always United) Korea. No wonder why it’s more resilient than its more messed up northern counterpart.
The battle of Culloden and events leading upto it was not a war between Scotland and England, it was between the British and the Jacobites. That British army at Culloden was half filled with Scottish southerners. A union between Scotland and England began in 1707 making them both British long decades before Culloden.
I'm Scottish...just saying.
Question: When facing the invading forces and found them unbeatable on your own soils, why don't go to their soils, do some massacres, capture the capital and hold it as a hostage to force the invaders to leave your home?
What I am saying here is that the Scots should take the fight to London, capture it and hold it as a hostage to force the English government to negotiate on their terms.
The Scots did border raids and cattle rustling on English soil. This was throughout history until recent times
The Scots don't have to invade to do that. If they want London, they can have it, and it's machete wielding "new British". The English left it long ago. Feel free Scotland, feel free..
Anyone else just thinking about outlander?
"A literal wig snatch."🤣
the only problem with Scotland is that it's full of Scott's! Haha genius line
Ahh waaahh! The Scottish people were treated poorly by all the other people. Hey have you looked at the Irish? We got the crap kicked out of us all the time and the Brits stole our food to boot!
Now do one for Hungary
i uk we just hate every town more then 3 miles away XD i live near the wall XD
England's great carbuncle.
Claudius called it something else
Proud to be a descendant of Burns. The Scotts have always been fighting for their autonomy. Ever ready!

@@rabbieburns2501lol
8:00 I am curious how executions became a form of public drama and entertainment.
I remember reading about some event in France (the French Revolution?) where executions were scheduled in a way that each one could be more easily viewed by the public for a daily event.
The book "Discipline and Punish" by Foucault has a lot of context about why kings turned execution into spectacle. I think he also discusses the history of the practice a bit, but it's been a while since I've read it. Ultimately, the practice boils down to showing the people that the king has total control and ownership of their lives and bodies.
@@ErickC Like a preview of what could happen to others if they don't submit to the king....very interesting! I will check out that book, thank you so much for explaining that!
A lot of Jacobites were English too, and Scots also fought in the British Army at Culloden in 1746 as the UK was formed in 1707. . It was more to do with restoring Roman Catholic King James, therefore a religious uprising. At that time the predominant denomination in the Highlands was Roman Catholicism. A fact that is getting more and more lost through time through unfactual storytelling, and is quite disrespecful. This is quite ironic given the title of this video. False recounts of history have compounded the mistreatment of Scotland throughout history.
10:01 So I guess Scotland got the BAAAAAD side of the deal then? Sorry I had to 😁😁😁😁
They can take our lives.... but they'll never take... our Weird History!
If england upped the petty over KILTS now that is sus by historical standards😮
do a video about how Ottawa used to be Bytown and was a town full of lumber mills and brothels
1. There were more Scots in the Government side at Culloden than on the Jacobite side.
2. When Henry VII married his daughter married his daughter Margaret to James IV, English nobles complained that this would give the Scots power over England. Henry replied 'If any differences come between our two realms, the greater shall draw the lesser!'
Henry VII is the favourite king of George Osborne, former Chancellor of the Exchequer 2010-16.
Now do one about every filed Irish Rebelion (there's A LOT)
That last line was so sad.
"There could no longer be only one."
My great....great grandfather was sent from Scotland to an English colony as a slave.
England is getting it's just due now. Falling apart to the wayside.
Something something foreign stuff...
The Battle of Culloden was not a Scottish v England battle.
There should be a campaign to legalize castles as a home in the United States.
It would be a lot more practical than almost 100% of the issues brought up today.
I don't understand this comment. There are a couple of castles in the US...
@@lauriejones4507 Do you know anyone that lives in a castle in the United States?
We've been mistreated by England for sure but its nothing compared to what the Irish had to put with
This is why we need Scoxit!
Wasn’t there a referendum in 2014?
They had am independence vote with the full co-operation of the English. Rejected it.
Current polls show a broadly similar result would happen today f another vote was held. Largely because the Scottish government has ballsed Scotland up so horrifically.
