Excellent ! OBTW I have the same mandolin, did your bridge start lifting, I had to glue mine back down a few years ago.
Yes was a problem when I got it new, took it down to the local music shop, guy there is a first class hand at sorting stringed instruments, no problems with it since.
@@hamishmacdonald6997 Grand, I tinker with fixing insts, when I took the bridge off I saw that it was glued on to the finish, I scraped the finish off and reglued it wood to wood, no problems since. Love your stuff, more power to your arm :)
Magnificent Hamish !! Your a real Quarter Gill Scott Heron 👍🏼👍🏼
Heh-heh - whose faither played for Celtic!

Mistakenly (though A’m no sure how!) removed two comments on here - apologies, looks like there’s nae way tae recover them.
Brilliant Hamish ! 'Swiping oot existence' superb
Many thanks!
'Burned alive in a barrel of tar', he said with a smile. Really enjoyed the video! My grandfather was a Masterton, from Fife.
Hello, my dad used to be so obsessed with all this stuff. He used to always tell me i needed to know where i came from. However, i wasnt really interested in history but would half listen because he was exited about it. Sadly, my dad passed last December. When i was clearing out his things, i found the family tree my dad used to study and talk about all the time when i was younger. Ive been looking at it since as i found comfort in reading the tree he was obsessed. Now i know why!!! From what i can see the brahan seer maybe one of the people on my family tree. It starts with Colin/Cailean mackenzie the gerald of tradition. Now im obsessed with my ancestory
If only Corrie had succeeded!
Alba Gu Brath! 🦄⚔️🏴⚔️🦄 Today is the anniversary of preston pans.
That was so interesting x 12:34
Wish he'd asked a local how to pronounce Brahan?.....It's got a silent H
The outcome was inevitable and doomed to fail, but at least Bonnie escaped the fate of James IV who died honourably fighting at Flodden instead of fleeing the battle and dying in obscurity.
Inevitable? No. Recognize the winners write the history books.
Thank you for sharing this but it kind of makes me sick to hear the going ons and sometimes I ask myself why they trusted charliboy even doe he did not even know scottland and the scotts.. they lost so much because of stubbern dumness from a little rich pompes boy. And after he did not give a ratstail for his people.. makes me soo mad somehow.
Stuart/Kennedy descendent here. Thank you for sharing
Cheers Stuart much appreciated.
Little snippet of info. The marquess of tullibardine sought out refuge @ the ross priory - gartocharn ; following the battle of culloden. He was took In & quickly betrayed. As he was taken away from ross priory headed to dumbarton Castle as prisoner - he cursed the ross priory with something along the lines of "there will be murrays on the braes of atholl when there's never a buchanan on the ross" Quite an interesting story. I actually work as one of the chefs in ross priory so I can confirm this to be true. 😁
There can be nae worse fate than gettin taken tae Dumbarton (only kiddin, A'm frae Clydebank). Good wee spot Gertyhern - we used tae go for walks up Duncryne then play fitba in the wee park which wis great cause it had nets in the goals (c. late 60s/early 70s).
As native scot. If.lord Murray. At Culloden. Said. Avoid this. Battle. He did but bonnie prince fight at Culloden moor. We in Scotland don't need bonnie prince Charlie.
I'm Brazilian and found you because of your terrific performance here at the WPSC. Loved to meet your work <3
Many thanks, it was a wonderful experience to perform at the WPSC in Rio - my first time in Rio and Brazil and I loved every minute of the festival and the city, thanks again!

What's your solution to curb uncontrolled immigration.
Excellent Hamish 👍🏼
Cheers Mr Al.
Superb Hamish 👏
Many thanks Stevie.
brilliant!
Many thanks.
Two of my ancestors were hung in Dunfermline for being Jacobites and they were both Lowland, Prostestant Scots who hated the Union with England
Ach, I fair enjoyed that, cheers!👍
Just recently found out I'm related to the Mackenzie clan and came across the Brahan seer. The silly part imo is he probably just used common sense for his last prediction, knowing powerful men being faithful to their wives is less common than not! The one prediction he didn't try hard with was the one that sealed his fate. Or, maybe he was trolling the Lady of Seaforth? Who knows. EDIT: Looks like I'll be planning a fishing trip to Scotland 😁😉
Good on you Josh, hope you can get the pike with the gift of second sight in it!
@@hamishmacdonald6997 😉😁👍
Just now saw this. I would say the English have much to answer for. Every time I read anything about the battle of Culloden, I am saddened. I am from the US, but I have Scottish heritage. Thanks for this. I love learning about Scottish history.
Many of the redcoated soldiers at Culloden were Scots,Dutch,German Hessians and French Heuganots were also in the government army. The North British Fusileirs (Ayrshire and Dumfries), The Royal Scots(Edinburgh and Midlothian),The Campbell Militia(Argyll,later of that name),Semples,The Scots Borderers. Gardeners Dragoons and The Glasgow and Edinburgh town guard had previously been involved in the uprising. One suspects many old clan scores were settled. As mentioned there were instances of English Officers refusing to take part in brutality. Not so,Captain Carolin Scott, a Lowland Scotsman who with his men got 'stuck in.'
If you can you should try and watch Tom Weir's two part film about "Bonnie Prince" Charlie. It will give you another perspective of the story. philiprufus4427 has already pointed out the inaccuracy of looking at the scenario as Scottish v English conflict which you seem to be doing, so I won't duplicate what he said!
This is hilarious!
AWESOME!
Many thanks.
😂😂😂..and now i have to explain it to my non-scottish friends....
Jist aye
Cheers!

The rhyming is outta this 🌎 sick Hamish! You sound like the real life Groundskeeper Willie Of the Simpsons Couldn't stop laughing 😆
Spot on, I strongly suggest anyone feeling this go to Donegal and say hello to everyone you pass there and you'll find the other. ...Well, it worked for me.

Ye ken we’re a” conditioned & it might no’ seem fair……but yer safe Hamish, rest assured, ‘cause they cannae wash n condition yer hair ! 😂
It's awright papa A'm no too scared / at leat A kin still condition ma beard.
@@hamishmacdonald6997 Ha !……brilliant me too ! 😂
Love this. The more we are ourselves, the less conditioning will hold power as a whole.
Even though I'm a proud Jacobite it really makes me angry how Bonnie Prince Charlie just left his men behind and didn't even attempt to organize any sort of resistance. He made so many mistakes and our ancestors paid the price of it.
Great stories! A good laugh at the end. Class 👍👍
Many thanks, the loch was still frozen solid that day after a long winter so I sited the camera back a bit hoping it wouldn't be noticed! If anyone was watching me 'fishing' from the other bank they'd have thought I was off the head.
you are a great storyteller!
Many thanks Anna!
I loved this! 😃
i have visited the battle site and found the experience both moving and thought provoking
