Lovat Fraser Coffins in the Crypt at Wardlaw Mausoleum
มุมมอง 7K9 ปีที่แล้ว
A look inside our crypt. We start with Simon Fraser, The Old Fox (1670 - 1747) beside the wall, next to his son Simon the Master (1726 - 1782). His other son, Archibald (1736 - 1815), is against the back wall. At the far side against the wall is Jane Fraser (1741 - 1819), Archibald's wife, and Henry Emo Fraser (1768 - 1782) infront of her, Archibald's son. The small coffin is another son of Arc...

A lot of information and I can't keep up..
Sadly it’s been confirmed the headless body in the lead casket was a woman, and one aged around 25/35 may be a Fraser.
I have traced my lineage back to Lord Hugh Fraser Lord of Lovet who died in the battle of Loch Lochy
Me too! He was my 15th great grandfather!
I’d like to see your reference for the back scabbard of the claymore. Also, claymore was a term that was applied to both the large two handed blade, and the small(er) basket hilted broadsword. Also, even for the wealthier Highlander’s, the sword is and was always a secondary weapon. The primary weapon was a musket, even for the wealthier highlanders. Brown Bess was a term given to whores at the time, and was likely a commentary of how temperamental the piece could be
There are a number of inaccuracies, reenactorisms, half-truths, and myths portrayed as fact in this video.
VERY, VERY WELL EXPLAINED. I LOVE IT ; THANK YOU !
What about the famous Heron Butt muskets and all metal rams horn pistols that are so unique to the Scots?
Wrong pattern of Brown Bess. That's the much later and shorter India pattern, as first developed for the East India Company army.
Problems Scots had was if they did make mincemeat of the initial few ranks usually dragoons etc would make short work of already knackered clansmen. (In a pitched battle). Skirmishes etc or ambushes you wouldnt have wanted to be a redcoat!
Playing the pipes since 1985 and reenacting the Jacobites (and the 79th) ever since, thats a very decent a: outfit, very authentic and b: very concise and spot on! Clanna na Gael!
Ju suis prest! My great grandfather was piper donald Fraser
Protestant scheit!
thank you so much .
Grape shot.
my left ear hurts
Very nice video. My left ear loved it.
Yes great vid but yir kilt is to short min like any shorter and we wid see yir meat an two veg short nae need fir it Even the camera man had to zoom in just to yir top half very af putting
Must've been gruesome. "Only use 2 fingers to ram the charge down the barrel... cause it might blow your whole hand off..."
Tower Bridge!! Aye... Pretty sure the bridge was a bit of a 1800s thing. No???
Remember , all Protestant English monarchs are inherently illegitimate for many reasons and their Anglican paganism lead to England being cursed for all time , Culturally and Spiritually , which in turn lead to English imperialism , sabotage of other nations , extermination , looting and invasion .
This is why the Doctor Who serial, The Highlanders, NEEDS to either B found, or animated; the history behind it is just so fascinating!
The author of Outlander says she was inspired by Dr Who at Culloden to write her novel. So, it lives on as a romantic drama (which is where the money is).
The phrase "Lock and load" began with the use of the musket, to remind the wielder of the sequence in which the weapon was charged Nowadays, this sequence is reversed, for safety reasons. Charging the pan BEFORE loading the powder will get you nasty looks, and some hostile words, from the person in charge of running the range
I've been reenacting the American Revolutionary War for over 20 years. My militia unit load and fire in the proper sequence as procribed in the 1764 manual of arms. But then we live in the Pacific N.W. where we don't give a tinkers dam what those pantiewaist east coast wankers think or do.
Why even watch The whole representation is a lie.
What did he lie about?
Good
Parece que los que estan adentro eran un poco altos 😉
I always think re-enactors give you a completely false sense of these hand to hand fighting men. In general these actors are all rotund short slobbish looking beardy nerds, a real highland officer would be tall strong and conditioned to viscous combat and living off the land, honed machines, a fearsome and impressive sight, not a guy with an extra large gut and an addiction to KFC...
That's the problem with all historical reenactments to be fair to him, nobody can actually live the lives historical people lived. American Civil War reenactments are mostly chubby old men because it's an expensive hobby.
God bless any prot who gave his life for Bonnie Prince Charlie.
The first sword is mistakenly called a claymore due to pop culture. Its actually Called a two handed sword. A Claymore is a single handed broadsword with basket hilt. - This is proven by historical records referring to claymores as one handed held broad swords specifically.
Also sharp all the way down, hate seeing this myth about swords being at least partially dull
@@kahn04 not a myth.
Being a collector of Antique edged weapons is there many castles etc to visit in scotland hope to tour next year for 3 or 4 weeks just across in ulster so not far to go i take it most of these blades you display are victorian copies or much later is that black bess a denix copy or similar paul
Douglas Ross is his evil twin
5:15 Government army consisted of Scotsmen as well.
Great presentation! A bold choice to wear two different contrasting Plaids, but you pull it off, perhaps because of your martial skill and charming demeanor. Thanks for the info, I liked and subscribed.
And the SNP are still reliving this in real life today !!!!! 😂😂😂🇬🇧
True sturgeon larping as braveheart
That was not only informative, but professional.
The Claymore is 13th century weapon , not a 17th century weapon. They trot it out because the Americans want to see "Bravehearts' sword.
@S B That's what I said, diddle eye !
What about firelocks? I've heard about two thousand were recovered from the Jacobite position at Culloden.
The Brown Bess that this Gentleman is showing is a Firelock.
No, the claymore was not used by the jacobites. The broadsword was.
I imagine a few claymores were still in use at Culloden. A true Scotsman would never buy a broadsword if he had a perfectly good claymore in a haystack.
@@HavocHerseim you forgot rocks. Every second or third clansman had at least one good pointy rock to hurl at the Ainglish.
That sword design was pretty sharp for the time.
Nice video!!
And this is the music they listened to back then! This one was written in the 17th century. #rebelsongs #celticcamerata #whiskey #whiskeyinthejar #irishmusic #music #irishdrinkingsongs th-cam.com/video/4w4VGTF7HPI/w-d-xo.html
I don't know if I'm taking a sword to a gun fight.
Great video !!!
lol you can grip a sharp blade with no issues
The big long claymore or long sword was used like a hybrid spear - sword in my understanding and research.-Is that right??
And of course the many battles prior to Culloden are overlooked, the ones where the Scots smashed British forces in very short order, where the Highland charge tactic was used properly. Culloden is probably the worst example of Scots tactics of the time, Prestopans is a very good example. Choose the fighting ground due to the army's mobility, suprise/flank for the main attack to shorten range. And most important, avoid massed cannon and musket fire. Nevertheless, good presentation.
Actually the English won more than they lost and on the whole won the battles that mattered, Culloden was a side show.
@@tonyjames5444 Not during the 42 rebellion, the Scots won a majority of the battles and came within 50 miles of London before their army broke up. They rejoined partially for Culloden, but with far fewer numbers and equipment and very divided leadership. The English army was excellent in many other engagements however. And of course in Culloden.
@@whirving Not sure what your referring to here, in 1719 government forces easily defeated a Spanish supported Scottish uprising at the Battle of Glenshiel and prior to that the 1715 rising met a similar end at Preston. As for the advance in England they got to Derby which is 150 miles from London but it wasn't an invasion per say, there was general disinterest in England for the Hanovarians or Stuart's at this time and the Scots hoped for English support and did receive it but not in the numbers they hoped. Also the English troops they met were old soldiers left on garrison duties while the experienced soldiers were in Flanders/France, (the English soldiers defeated in Scotland were due to these commitments mostly young raw recruits). To sum up I'd say the Scottish themselves didn't believe they could pull this off and certainly not 'conquer' England, it's worth remembering that the experienced English army wasn't much changed from that of Marlborough and the Battle of Blenheim and was highly regarded throughout Europe.
@@tonyjames5444 1745 was the Jacobite uprising I was thinking of, ergo my comments on Culloden and Prestopans, not the earlier 1715. Prestopans, though Cope had lessor quality troops, was an assault against a prepared position with superior fire power and cavalry. The battle was over in 10 minutes. I don't think experience would have made much difference. In it's place the Highland tactics were very good, but a one trick pony as it were. That is a lot of the reason for the defeat at Culloden, where the British had had time to study, train, and counter the tactics used by the Scots. Though there was nearly a breakthrough despite poor conditions, timing, and positioning by the Scots charge. Such is history and the Scots went on to better things like education and economics.
Stop referring to the Jacobites as Scottish most Scots were loyal to the government
Wasn’t ramrods contrary to modern replicas made out of wood back then?
no
Depends. Civilian guns? Yes, often. Military standard issue? No
I think we lost more than we won at Killiecrankie, because we lost some fighters/officers we would sorely miss later in the campaign, like Claverhouse.
My right ear enjoyed this
😂😂😂😂 same here
ha
it was my left ear for me. Am i listening to it wrong?
Robert Mackay has
the entire blade was sharp. and you can still half sword with it. you would never swing the claymore around like that, you'll hit your neighbor.
vrass tacks deflecting musket balls? Doubt that. I suppose he meant sword blows.
More likely the ball would drive a few of those brass tacks through the unfortunate owner’s body along with itself!
