The Yellow Duke's Scotland
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 26 ก.พ. 2014
Scotland - the country, the heritage, the culture. I have worked as an Information Officer with a heritage group in Bannockburn and I am acquainted with much of Scotland's landscape, its history, traditions and arts. But I will explore anything in the general life of the country.

The Loch Ness Monster: Myth or Reality?
He was a one off.I remember the shock i got when i saw the headline Ian Bannen killed in the highlands.I visitd his grave in Fort Augustus a few years ago to pay my respects.He was my favourite Scottish actor too.
James WAS the rightful king. Audentior Ibo! 🦄⚔️🏴⚔️🦄
I found this novel extremely well written, I think we can face the dilemma you outline because the author looks after us so well. I'm concerned about this situation with Flora although we know it would never have worked out given her father. Why did he defile her? I don't think enough is made of when he walked in on Lachlan Broad with all intensive purposes raping his sister. We know what would have happened if she'd said `no`.
That was most enjoyable, and often very touching .... thanks for your creative spirit Yellow Duke.
Glad you enjoyed it!
A very good presentation. This battle is routinely regarded as having an inconclusive outcome but I think, at the end of the day, that Sherriffmuir must be regarded as a victory for the Hanoverians. Argyll halted Marr in his tracks which fulfils his strategic objective and held the field with an army that was half the size of his opponent's. That's the tactical aspect covered. Of Argyll's army, only the Buffs, the Royal North British Fusileers and the Scots Greys were Veterans of Marlborough's Army of Flanders (roughly one fifth of the entire Hanoverian army) The remainder were garrison troops from Ireland and units that had been reconstituted in the aftermath of the Almansa disaster with little to no combat experience.
Very interesting extra information, Paul. Thanks.
Grand video!
Thank you.
Would have liked to see more of the old village .Great info
Good year
Very interesting and educative. But linen ist not cotton - either the thread is linen, what it usually is, or it is cotton. It cannot be both at the same time. ;)
Superb video! Created with great attention to detail and clarity. Bravo! All my music students shall view this video. The pianist looks a bit like Jane. It's also interesting that he dedicated two Nocturnes to Jane. Did he dedicate anything to Lind?
Thanks, Colorado. I am pleased you liked it and I am flattered that you will show the video to your students. I am not certain but I don't think Chopin dedicated any works to Jenny Lind. He only knew her for the last two years of his life during which time he composed next to nothing.
During my young years as a detective trainee, I was like a miniature Monk (TV series). I would use those "powers of observation/deduction" to note that two nocturnes were dedicated to Jane and that she was the only one who Chopin indicated his true date of birth. I don't feel Jane would feel comfortable in Chopin's praise, dedications, etc. as being a front. Indeed, she did do a lot for Chopin, not only financially, but all those other tasks she took upon herself. And, you are a wonderful actor. I know my actors. I work with actor friends from Jurassic Park, It's a Wonderful Life, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, and many television series. You did a great job as the individual from the Glasglo Herald.
Great upload. Thanks. I visited his grave in Paris. Exceptionally talented man. Nice playing at the end. Beautiful feeling. ❤ 🏴
Braw readings. Gie us mare!
Ian was a long standing close friend a superb tribute
Thanks, Richard.
Beautiful. Warms a heart of a Pole, stuck in Scotland and missing her fatherland dearly. Thank you.
i cried wen i searched his name and meare nothing exists
ian bannen died after d best movie he was ever in,,,waking ned devine
Yes, I should have mentioned that film.
Thank you SO much for sharing this. It is an excellent way of explaining a wonderful craft. This very afternoon, I finished my first Sporran for a friend of mine in Peebles. It’s just a plain day Sporran with tassels made from veg tanned cow hide which I cut, dye and sew by hand too. A lovely excursion from the wallets and bags I normally make. I hope it won’t be my last!

Brilliant could watch this forever
Since when was this statue placed
It was unveiled on the 7th of November 2015.
@@theyellowdukesscotland499 thanks for the info i might wanna come by and see it someday
*video about cars and rallying, shows a pretty female on thumbnail*
The Stirling's held the territory of Keir from the 12th century, many thousands of acres of it. Alas more recently Keir House was sold out of the family .
That's me right at the end off you're video with the short mowhawk hair cut clapping the two jack russells that belong to a friend of mine...
Really? Well spotted. It proves you kept watching till the end of the video! So thanks. I spotted myself briefly in someone else's video of the event.
this event is getting less and less year on year. shame.
SALUT MY FRIEND , SUPER CAR SUPER VIDEO , SUBSCRIBE SUBSCRIBE ....
Hi!I really wanted to know about this sculpture(including the pronunciation of Silvanus)!Your video is exactly what I've need!Thank you for your video!!
You're welcome. Delighted to be of help. I think if you were an Ancient Roman the correct Latin pronunciation would be: sil - WAN - oos
I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.
have 5 leylands in the united states wish they still made them
Why???
YES is A top 10
Excellent!
Great video thanks Veteran IKOSB 👍🏴
Thanks, Matt.
Its so nice to see cars on the other side of the pond! Thanks for the video!
You're welcome. Yes, it's great seeing these classic and vintage cars. So many enthusiastic owners who maintain them with loving care.
I’d need the large one
We could never thank them men for their heroism true warriors thank you

Was at Aviemore this year 22022, the place has been ruined it's now a giant retail park. Shame on the council for letting it happen.
As descendant of MacPherson clan.. from the land clearances in Australia 👍🇦🇺 thanks for the post 😊..
great video! i liked the beer tent ! from n.w.ga. USA here,riding a '95 roadking!
Thank you very much for a very interesting and informative video - and for pointing us in the direction of Bill Inglis' booklet on the subject, which I've now ordered a copy of to learn more.
Great video and overview. We were there this summer and you really do the site justice. Thank you.
Thanks, Peter, for those kind comments. Much appreciated. I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it is an astonishingly well-preserved site. Deserves to better known. I myself didn't know about it till recently. Since doing the video, I have become very interested in Agricola and I may do a video on him in the future.
What a beautiful video and storytelling. So nice to hear Chopin stories by a scotsman with a nice accent! Also nice to hear Chopin and Lynyrd Skynyrd mentioned together in the same video ;) This video deserves more views.
Thanks for your kind comments, Hofi. I put a lot of work into that video - research, writing, presenting, acting - so it's good to be appreciated. And Catriona's performance of the Chopin nocturne at the end was so great and gave my video a touch of class. She has just graduated with first class honours from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Brilliant pianist with a bright future.
@@theyellowdukesscotland499 That's fantastic. I actually played this Nocturne myself when graduated from Conservatory at age 17, prior to my academic music studies, and never knew it was dedicated to anyone, let alone that there was a Scottish woman name Jane Stirling in Chopin's life. It's interesting to study Chopin's complicated relations with the Islands, as if I recall he felt estranged in England during his time spent there but was well influenced by Irish composer John Field, and had the Scottish Jane Stirling as a key figure in his story. Best of luck to you sir and Ms. Catriona. Regards from Israel.
what were your sources of information, which books did you read and how did you manage to get accurate maps of the battlefield as the OS map shows the battle site further away to the north east. there are said to be two large pits were the some of the bodies were buried but were later moved, do you know their location, is it near the gathering stone?
Hi Jimi. My two main sources were "Battles of the Jacobite Rebellions" by Jonathan Oates, published in 2019. And a marvellous 60-page booklet called "The Battle of Sheriffmuir" by local historian Bill Inglis, published in 2005. This booklet is reckoned to be the best single work on Sheriffmuir because the author not only has very good local knowledge but his text draws heavily on twelve eye witness accounts to painstakingly recreate the course of the battle. The booklet also has several maps and diagrams showing the movement of troops which greatly aid the reader in understanding what was a confusing battle. I am sorry but I don"t know anything about these pits or the moving of bodies. Many bodies are said to be buried near the gathering stone but exactly where I am not sure.
The Jacobites final act was to torch the Barracks
Thanks for your video I have never heard of this sculpture before
Beautiful history, beautiful statue and beautiful Scottish-Polish event! :)
Thank you, Krzysztof.
Wojtek ❤️
Lovely wee video, Thanks!
I concur with your view of Sandwood Bay ... a startling place with breathtaking landscapes. (An entertaining recording, as ever)
Thanks, Stuart. I hope to go back there and make a video about that wonderful beach at some point.
Just after the gathering stone you’ll notice two sunken holes in the ground, they say many men are buried there. The house I live in now used to be a barn where the red coats hid and the owners before us found some buried in the garden
That's really interesting. Are you near The Linns or Stonehill Farm? You can perhaps infer from my description of the progress of the battle at what point those redcoats took refuge in your house (barn).
Chopin was lucky to have such a friend.
