    I'm English. I visited Killicrankie in the late 1980s when we were staying in Aviemore. The Pass itself is so eerie it is almost like the battle happened last week. The Highlands are so mesmerising and beautiful they are almost otherworldly. I remain eternally jealous!

    I grew up in West Tennessee, some of the old folks in my family said they were "Scotch Arish" by descent. One of my grandfather's brothers was a traditional fiddler, and sometimes played a tune called Killiecrankie. "Killiecrankie is my song, sing and play it all day long." No one I knew as a boy knew what "Killiecrankie" meant. Now I do.

      It's not scotch it's scots . Scotch is a short name for scotch whiskey.

    You mentioned Douglas and I remembered something....
    The Swedish branch
    Coat of arms of the Swedish comital Douglas family; the escutcheon is the Scottish Douglas arms
    The lineage of the Swedish branch of the Douglas of Dalkeith line begins with James Douglas, documented in 1353, died in 1420. His descendant Sir William Douglas of Whittingehame (which had come from the Earls of March by marriage to James Douglas of Dalkeith in 1372) became English ambassador to the royal Danish court at Copenhagen in 1603. His grandson, the Scottish-born Robert Douglas (1611-1662), transplanted this branch of the Scottish clan to Sweden when in 1627 he became an officer in the Thirty Years' War; In 1657 he became field marshal. He received the Swedish title of Baron in 1651 and the title of Count (the highest title awarded to non-royalty in Sweden) in 1654. He was enfeoffed with the county of Skänninge and introduced in 1654 to the class of counts of the Swedish nobility under No. 19. From 1655 he built Stjärnorp Castle in Östergötland, which is still an ancestral seat of the Swedish branch today, besides Ekensholm Castle and Rydboholm Castle. The escutcheon of the Swedish Douglas family's arms is the Scottish Douglas arms.
    Robert Douglas' descendants, the Swedish counts Douglas (the title is not primogenitary, but is held by all members of the line), are one of Sweden's most prominent noble families since the mid 17th century and has included numerous prominent individuals, such as Foreign Minister Ludvig Douglas. Count Gustaf Douglas is an important entrepreneur. His sisters are Rosita Spencer-Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, and Princess Elisabeth, Duchess in Bavaria, the wife of Prince Max, Duke in Bavaria. Walburga Habsburg, Countess Douglas, the daughter of Austria-Hungary's last crown prince, is a member of this family by her marriage to Count Archibald Douglas.
    Through a marriage in 1848 to Countess Louise von Langenstein und Gondelsheim, an illegitimate daughter of Louis I, Grand Duke of Baden, the Swedish Count Carl Israel Wilhelm Douglas (1824-1898) came into possession of Langenstein Castle in Baden, near Lake Constance. Their children achieved important political offices in both Sweden and Germany: their son count Wilhelm Douglas was a member of the German Reichstag, his brother count Ludvig Douglas (1849-1916) was the Swedish foreign minister, and their grandson count Archibald Douglas (1883-1960) was chief of staff of the Swedish army. In 1906, the grandson Karl Robert took up his main residence at Langenstein Castle, which his descendants still live in today....
    Swedes (Scandinavians as a whole) and Scots are getting along quite well, wouldn't you say? 😉😎

      What would Scottish history and culture be without bagpipes? Music, art, dance, and poetry, from the Jacobean period and _all_ periods, that’s what else there is to desire! Without the arts woven throughout, history would be more lost than it already is; paintings and drawings show us unforgettable images, dance reveals an integral role in Scottish warfare prior to battles, with music and poetry filling our minds and hearts with strong emotions, weaving throughout and memorializing the terrible and wonderful events and enriching our lives. This is yet another reason why the arts are so important to all societies, and why people who ignore them miss so much in their existence!

    Outstanding video. I think none of us, born after the advent of the electric light, can truly understand darkness. Even out in the middle of what today passes for wilderness, the light pollution is irretrievable. Nowhere does it remain to darkness. In midst of the glare, all we have left to us are glimpses of the absence.

I watched this video twice , spent an hour & a half reading comments , sat back in my recliner for an hour meditating on what I have taken in , and I am speechless . I don't have words to explain how stellar I believe your work is . I liked & I have proudly subscribed .. P.S. - Of my two sets of grandparents , one set was of Irish & Scottish decent & the other set of Swedish decent with the last name being Lindquist .. I believe it is time for me to hire a geneologist and request they make a deep dive into my ancestors past .. If anything should come up that has anything to do with what you said in your video , I will comment again with what it is .. Thank you so much "Eerie Edinburgh" .

    Fact, this was the first use of the “plug bayonet” by the British Army, this was as its name says, “plugged” into the end of the musket, thus negating any further use? Unlike thr socket bayonet of years later, in which you could fire and keep bayonet attached this using it to fire and bayonet your opponent’s you could only use the bayonet on the former? The British troops were helpless in stopping the famous “Highland charge” from smashing into their ranks.it’s a great place to visit, very beautiful. Again another great story! Thank you.🙏🏻

    A great story - I particularly liked the concise historic background and characters, and above all, the superb landscape photography. You've really pushed the boundaries since you've spread your wings out of Edinburgh, and these films are worth watching just for the scenery alone.
    If you want to keep your credibility, though, don't have any truck with Elliot O'Donnell, journalist, romancer, teller of fantastic stories and all round fraud. He's safely dead, so if he doesn't like my characterisation of him - let him come and haunt me. You can always tell an O'Donnell tale by the way the horrors keep mounting up, one on another - a sort of 1920's version of Clive Custler when it comes to unbelievable yarns.

    'On the heights of Killiecrankie, yester morn our army lay,
    Slowly rose the mists in columns from the river's broken way,
    Hoarsely roared the swollen torrent, And the Pass was wrapped in gloom,
    When the clansmen rose together from their lair amidst the broom...'
    from 'Killiecrankie' by William Edmondstoune Aytoun.

    the evil ghost woman that appeared around the apparitions of the wounded dead soldier corpses was most likely some sort of banshee or another type of supernatural Irish/Scottish omen of death.

    Dundee Marmalade Co. makes good orange marmalade, but one time I found a fly about half way down inside the jar. It spooked me out a bit, but the fly tasted just like a bit of sugared orange peel, ,so it was all good. That’s entirely a half-true story.

    I worked night shift on the construction of the A9 Killiecrankie by-pass in the winter of 1986. A skeleton staff, often you would feel a presence of someone near, but on turning noone
    was there. This is far your best video to date, but the narrative from the account of the female cyclist seems too detailed to be taken seriously, I'm afraid, more like somone who could
    have pursued a writing career in my opinion, raising doubts to the authentcity of what she witnessed!

    Just take a moment to absorb the horrors of battle of that particular age… if you weren’t shot to shreds by a rather large ball of metal, you’d have to face the enemy by charging them from quite the distance with a sword and no body armor whatsoever. If you were unlucky the enemy could unleash another volley of musket shot on you, and if not there was no choice but to engage in a man to man clash to the death. No medics to help you, no morphine to ease your pain or quicken your death. Only the mercy of another stab or shot by enemy or friend if you were lucky. But most likely you’d slowly and lonely reached your end on the cold wet ground in great agony and pain. May the god of their choice have received them all in comfort, warmth, love and peace.

    Please, can anyone help me out with the name of the movie or movies that have used the intro music from the beginning of this video?
    I know it's called "Morning on the Misty Mountain" or something like that but I cannot for the life of me remember what movie I've heard this in before.
    I've even tried googling it but I can't find a list of movies that use this particular track.
    I swear, it'll something like "The Mask", one of"The Lord of the Rings" movies or maybe even one of the early "Batman" movies, like "Batman Returns" or something. I just know I've heard this track while at the cinemas.
    If anyone can give me the names of some movies and not just the name of the song, it would be greatly appreciated. Very, very greatly appreciated.
    If you've read this whole comment,
    Thankyou.

    Back then she didn’t think stabbing and taking from the Red Coat officer was cruelty. That ghost had probably been thru hell due to the English! I carry English and Welsh blood (Scottish Ancestors as well, although they (DNA companies have vacillated back and forth) lump it in with the English somehow.). My people, some Quakers and poor, sought a better life due to cruelty of the high born royals.
