      You should do one about Malta if you are a history buff. Endless amount of things to talk about. You should certainly visit if you are a big enthusiast. No country has a richer history then we have. you will agree once you visit or learn something about us. Our history goes back way before the Pyramids of Eygpt or Stonehenge. you should have a look and see for yourself.

    I went to Scotland, specifically Edinburgh, for the first time back in May. It was a beautiful place. The city is probably one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Cityscape meets natural landscape in a great way there, with an inactive volcano butting right up against the old buildings. I highly recommend for anyone thinking of visiting the UK to make Edinburgh part of the trip!

    Robert I (11 July 1274 - 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: Roibert a Briuis; Modern Scottish Gaelic: Raibeart Brus; Norman French: Robert de Brus or Robert de Bruys; Early Scots: Robert Brus; Latin: Robertus Brussius), was King of Scots from 1306 to his death in 1329. Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is now revered in Scotland as a national hero.

    Great documentary! One finicky thing. Unlike B.C., C.E., or B.C.E, the correct usage of “A.D.” technically places the abbreviation before the year in question (E.g. A.D. 425). This is due to its Latin construction. Most people get this wrong. And one might argue that common usage dictates a language. But you seem like the kind of gent who appreciates accuracy in the details. Again, great video-very informative!

    These are the kind of details I wonder endlessly about when it comes to historic topics - how kingdoms formed and ended, what came before and in between, etc. They say I'm weird, but I almost exclusively watch and read historic things (with a little science sprinkled in) but somehow, I still learn new things every day. I mean, I know some about Scotland and England's history (very fascinating to me) but I still get certain tribes, groups and kingdoms mixed up and who came first and after, etc - basically, exactly the things you are clarifying here. I recently found out through ancestry research that I'm almost entirely Scottish - my surname, literally my screen name here (minus the numbers), is directly from Scotland - Blalack = Blacklocke. This, after thinking I was German my entire life - so Scotland is extra interesting to me now. Also, wasn't Columba supposedly the first person to record seeing the Loch Ness monster?

    My Scottish ancestry is an interesting bag that includes ancient families but also Norsemen who were mercenaries in the service of a Chieftain and were given lands as a reward for service in the 12th century. My line of this group were also part of the Ulster Plantation. The family joke is that we are always at war with ourselves because we are Scottish, Irish, English, and Scots-Irish (along with some German and Dutch to temper everything).
