The north east doesn’t get enough love. So much history in the central highlands and north east glens. Everything from Pictish holdouts to Jacobite battlegrounds.
It was MURRY that led the resistance from the North. At Stirling Bridge was Co-Commander. He was killed on the Bridge. That left Wallace in Command. All these English versions of Scots History, leave out the fact that after David I(married to Fleming wife.), most of the leading families were of Flemish descent who had been half of of the 1066 Invasion of England. Most of the non Mac names in Southern and Eastern Scotland were of these Flemish Families. Dozens of the towns and villages of the Southeast and Central Scotland have Flemish names. In 1552 my Virginia ancestor was of these Flemish Scots. His parents were both of the same surname as were his grandparents. LINDSAY' Taken from the old Saxon Kingdom in Northumberland, in their award from now King William. Their sons took it to Scotland with David I.
I'm a highlander from the far north coast. I'm not sure about the glaciers, but I'm going to give you some extra points for pronunciation, you've done a pretty good job. Makes a pleasant change, especially on YouTube.

A heritage that is rich and never got diluted and never allowed it's bigger neighbour to push them around and change their beautiful identity single true and unique is Scotland
So as you say at, 27:44, King Edward I of England 'agreed to meditate.' Was it some kind of Buddhist meditation? or Zen meditation? Edward I, never struck me as someone who would be into meditation.
1704. Scotland was never in debt nor bankrupt- its elites/ aristocracy was, but not Scotland itself. England was hugely in debt.. after Union England imposed its debt on Scotland. England was never afraid of war on Scotland on the contrary it was ready for it, threatened it unless there was a union. You can’t discuss the union without a discussion of the Claim of right and how Scotland essentially became a colony of England after the clauses of the treaty of union were simply ignored/ bypassed, e.g. Englands parliament became Scotlands a new one wasn’t created, Englands king and England crown was imposed on Scotland. To this day Englands king refuses to take the Scottish oath
I am Cree Native from Ontario, Canada and my Aunt on my Dad's side married a man from Scotland. My Uncle Tom was a special man in my life and loved him so much. Coolest Uncle a Native could ask for, even took my Aunt to Scotland a few times. He moved here in the 60s to work for the Hudson's Bays Company.
