Tyranny over democracy eh? (Divine rule-v-parliament)...
I felt bad for them standing in the rain, I was like. Let the stand under a tent. You can tell your story there too, haha.
What is the style of the scabbard with the heart shaped buckle, and anyone know somewhere you can purchase one?
I would love to now where I can buy a bright brass sword baldric as shown in this video!
Nice vibeo!
Didn't know Tom Hardy was into reenactment
Did we lose the technology to film this in 1745 and then only recently reacquire that knowledge?
Greyfriars Cemetary
They only look the part when standing still

Strange to see a "Highlander" speaking with an English accent.
He' thinks he owns the Scottish jacobite theme
He used me years ago
I'm my self a self independent history teacher of this period
Okay, he could be of Scottish ancestry but was born in England.
You never seen ww2 German reenactors?
@@PotatoSalad614 I have, they are pathetic.
@@Mostrichkugel how
The English accent is a bit off putting
Arran is an amazing orator and his delivery of educating on the Jacobite's is unparalleled.
Mr Johnstone .I knew very well
Is not the nice person he's making out to be
And he thinks he owns prestonpans my village
Who I my self have been teaching this peice of history for 30 years
Also I do use people and beg for lottery money to do it
Truth
He's an absolute clown this one
I knew him very well
Total ego
Its not wrong tho, some engish did fight on sode of jacobites, not nessicerily tho in scottish attire however
The Scottish didn’t know about trouser technology so they just wrapped a blanket round their waist to hide their goolies.
@Angry Patriot
No. Seriously they were ashamed at the diminutive size of their goolies.
Wrong information regarding the 'no such thing as Clan tartan in this period' line. Spesific sets were connected to clans or groups.
Not true. While families did spin their own fabrics, they were not as complex as we assume, due to complex dye techniques not being available in the rural highlands. The whole gang-like tartan affiliation is pretty much a 19th century invention and was very much exaggerated. People of the same clan could wear a variety of different tartan patterns without any complications. During the 17th and 18th century, the tartans would have been very bland and mostly consisted of dark tones. They would not look like their contemporary counterparts.
@@Lotrfan99 You are quite right, however the drab and weathered idea is overstated especially for the wealthy there were many very vibrant tartans available.
Bruce MacAllan for most of Scottish history, the specific pattern and colour of the tartan wasn’t much of importance. The only regional giveaway of the tartan was just what dyes could be produced locally
@Mac Kent The Highland Dress Act of 1746 was repealed in 1782, by then the rebellious symbolism of the tartan was largely gone. King George IV’s visit to Scotland led to an increase in interest in Scottish culture including tartans. An increase in wearing tartans and the artificial assignment (except for the Stuart clan, I believe) of specific tartans to specific clans started during King George IV’s reign. Afterwards, Queen Victoria promoted the beauty and romanticism of the Scottish Highlands to bolster the tourism industry and solidified the association of tartans to certain clans.

Also the Scottish didn’t know about the bang sticks and thought that it was the magic of the devil.
You mean muskets? No idea where you got that but it is poop lol. The majority of the men by Culloden wielded French muskets.
Before kilts were invented Scottish men went around naked from the waist down.
Usual English accent on anything to do with Scotlands history 🙄
Thats what happens when you lose.....repeatedly
Cope
The chap who’s speaking is Dr Arran Johnston he’s very well respected in this field of history !
"Gaelic speaking West Highlanders"? More drivel. The last native speaker of Deeside Gaelic died in the 1980s. That's in the North East, a few miles from Aberdeen.
