We always called the haggis delishuss And if you got a hair in yer mooth from eating the hairy beastie it was considered good luck and when you got enough hairs you could get a hairy sporran made from them and the colour of the hair was very important as the white hair was from eating the older hoggies they say the don’t smell they don’t tell and their grateful as hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me granny was a world champion haggis wrestler , , for nearly 60 years she used to show family members her scars after a few whisky,s , even the ones on her Butt , , , which was a bit awkward sometimes. , , 😮😊 .

This is like snipe hunting in the US. They are so secretive that they are never seen.

The stolen Stone of Scone was recovered from Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950 ! On the Dead Sea Scroll's solar calendar, after the Vernal Equinox starting the next Biblical Year, it was placed on the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey on the 11th April 1951. With a 21st March Vernal Equinox that year, this means that the Stone of Scone was placed on the altar of Arbroath Abby on the last seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: a Holy High Day ! So in the same BIBLICAL year: • 1951 was 3400 years and the 68th Jubilee after the Exodus from Egypt ! (Working with a 4BC birth of Christ) • Before the next Vernal Equinox King George VI died on the 6th of February 1951. • Queen Elizabeth II immediately ascended the throne - although only later coronated. i.e. The Stone of Scone was recovered in the Jubilee 7x7 49th year of 1950, and later placed on the High Altar of Arbroath Abby on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread - in the Jubilee 50th year of 1951 ! The Declaration of Scottish Independence drafted at Arbroath Abby and dated the 6th April 1320, was also in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread: The vernal equinox was the 20th March that year and the 7th April was the 4th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that year: the day of Christ’s resurrection on the Biblical annual calendar. So 631 years later (6+3+1=10), on the last 7th Day of Unleavened Bread, being a High Day, the Stone of Scone was placed on the High Alter in the ruins of that very same Arbroath Abby, wrapped in the “Saltire” or “Saint Andrews Cross” - the national flag of Scotland. Saint Andrew was the brother of Peter, and also an apostle and disciple of Christ. In the 1320 “Declaration of Arbroath” the Scott’s claimed to be Israelites who migrated from Egypt to Spain to Ireland and then to Scotland ! Legend has it that the Stone of Scone would sometimes groan when a king was crowned on it. It is now apparent that the Stone of Scone had a flaw in it. It had a faint fracture that could be the cause of the noise when some weightier kings were crowned sitting on it: the fracture gradually progressed further and further under the weight and hence the “groans”. When it was removed from beneath the coronation throne in Westminster Abby on Christmas Day 1950, it finally broke into two pieces in the process. The smaller piece was secretly returned to Scotland almost immediately and the larger piece was returned sometime later. Once re-assembled and re-enforced into the semblance of one stone, it was placed on the alter as described above. When it was later back in Westminster Abby, Queen Elisabeth II was coronated on a broken Stone of Scone - what is the significance and implication of that as we see history unfold ???. .. ....

Traced my heritage all the way back to Alexander and further. My line of the Ruthven's changed their name to Trotter and ended up in the States. James Trotter aka Ruthven was the first to carry the Trotter Sir name. He was bone in Fife Scotland in 1584. He was the son of Alexander Ruthven.

I've traced my heritage all the way back to Alexander. My last name is Trotter.

I went haggis hunting with my Scottish cousin but didn't see any

My relative, Archibald kelso, was the son in law of the earl of gowrie through his marriage to Catherine.

Thanks jim. Interesting and informative as usual.

As a Scot, I already knew this but thank you for explaining in a way our overseas viewer can understand. I have just had a left hand haggis for supper . Tha e blasta. .

Thanks Jim

Wonderful short jim. Thank you

let er rip tater-chip

Planning that for the future. Just using up pre recorded videos. The gun went in A couple of years after the tower because you couldn’t see the tower when it was foggy 🙄 I’m going to need to re- record this one as there’s a wee blip with sub-titles !

Well described jim. Are you going to do a piece on the signal on the tower on Calton Hill where the ball is raised above the tower and visible to ships anchored off leith. It drops on report of the one o clock gun and is visible to the ships well out of earshot of the gun firing. The office we used to share gives a great view of it

Always a pleasure when one of Jim’s guides pops into my feed. As informative and well presented as always

I’m a descendent of Ruthven. Maternal side. That’s what brought me here. I love this story, and I’m Proud it is part of my families story.

It's a wee bandy Scots tribble!!!

how you ever got that photo...they are so elusive

I started the novel a few months ago, Had I continued, I'm sure I would've liked it. I like the time period & Scott's writing style. I think I remember this building being referenced in the novel, although the earlier reincarnation. Over the years, I've watched videos on other cities & towns in Scotland but never one on Perth. Although I've long been curious about the city, I've never thought to watch a video about it. I will now, though. I also hope to get back to Scott's novel. Thank you for this video.

My name is Shelton Ruffin and the king assasinated my 8th great grandfather I found my connection through ancestry

I am in SC,USA a direct decendant from TROTTER family.. Hello cuz

Good to see you as animated and enthusiastic as always jim. Clearly loving the role and I am enjoying your videos

It was interesting 😊

if you eat the psilocybe semilenciata before haggis hunting , it makes seeing them a lot easier.

Ma Maw ran a string of racing haggis .

Yet another re-wilding project south of the border

I’ve got a 44 year old mate who has lived in Scotland all his life that believes this. His ignorance is unreal.

But Jim, are you a member of the Great Scottish Haggis Beaters Association? I was surprised not to see your professional accreditation. You are very professional. I'm sure you would pass the initiation but you have to hunt out their headquarters first! 😊

My ancestor Patrick Hepburn was at this raid great to learn some more about our family history!

💥 Ｐ𝐫Ｏ𝕞Ｏ𝓢ｍ

Cheers Jim- hope you’re well

Very animated and informative jim as always, thank you. I enjoyed that

Great story, Jim, and well told! Didn't manage this year to get out with the stick and net on the first day of the season, so I hope there's still plenty *Haggis scotticus dextera* (my preferred subspecies) out there.

Nice one mate! I've never actually been there!

This is great.

I am a 13th great Granddaughter of him.

Thank you for bringing this story! Hello cousins!!!!!

I am a direct descendant of the First Earl of Gowrie. My great grandfather was Egenardus Ruthven Carswell. I remember, as a little kid, hearing my father referring to him as Uncle Root.

I'm a black dude in Amercia. William Ruthven , Laird of Ruthven is my 15th great grandfather. BIRTH ABT 1375 • Hunting Tower/Ruthven Castle, Perthshire, Scotland DEATH ABT 1428 • Perth, Perthshire, Scotland

Family legend, for what that's worth, says my mother's family were Ruthvens before the clan was broken in 1600, when all Ruthven properties were seized by the king and given to other clans, and Ruthven clan members had to change their names from Ruthven to something else. That lasted for fifty-one years.

My 13th-great grandfather participated in the kidnapping of the king.
