When I'm in charge Bruce, St Andrew's day will be a puclic holiday of celebration, and it will be considered bad form to have Christmas displays or decorations until this date has passed.
Nice video! The fifteenth century Valois dukes of Burgundy also adopted Saint Andrew as their patron saint and used a red, saw-toothed saltire as a banner, but it seems to be unclear why they choose Andrew and his saltire. One theory is that Duke John the Fearless choose them to honour his Scottish soldiers led by the Earl of Mar and the Earl of Douglas.
Wow love listen to history by Bruce he makes it more interesting,if he had been my history teacher I probably would be teaching Scottish history,thanks for reminding me history is fun and interesting Bruce 😊🙏
Great wee book to compliment this is (for me anyway) The Celtic Way of Evangelism by George G Hunter. Great reminder of how important the migration of Church, faith, learning and more came from the north and west rather than Canterbury. Just a wee setting the record out and straightening of history like Bruce does.
Hello Bruce, I enjoyed your story...as usual! Being a Presbyterian I am quite familiar with the St. Andrew's flag and knew about its ties to Scotland. However I have learned alot about its origins in Scottish history today! I really do not understand how historians can ignore so much really interesing history. Thankyou! Keep up the good work. 🇺🇲🏴
My Scottish heritage is so remote that I don't even pretend to have a connection, But you are such a great story teller that I can't help but be interested in Scottish history. Now, my wife's maiden name is McClung and my daughters often bring this up and I find myself referring to the things I've learned here to talk about parts of their ancestry that are much more interesting than their mutt father's side.
I have some very dear friends who are not Scottish at all (they’re Hazara Afghan, in fact) but loved the idea of the Highland Games I worked at as a reenactor. They never got a chance to go and have since moved very far away (New Zealand of all places), but this past Saint Andrew’s Day, they sent me a picture of their two little girls holding a Saltire they’d drawn in class; the girls had insisted on sending it to me because they remembered that my family was from Scotland. I nearly burst into tears right there in the gym, it was so sweet. 😭❤️
Another fascinating video Bruce. As a Dumfriesshire man with many family links in Ayrshire, my preference is Burns night as well. Always been aware of St. Andrews day on 30th November, but never really celebrated it in any way. Never fail to celebrate Burns night on 25th January though and always have my haggis neeps and tatties 😁👍
Interesting tale, as always well told. The sky blue of the saltire prescribed is Pantone 300. Also, while maybe relegated, the Celtic saints weren’t forgotten. It’s said the Monymusk Reliquary residing at the national museum was carried into battle at Bannockburn.
Thanks for another excellent story. You personify the ongoing molding of Scotland’s character by carrying on and blending the traditions of the bard and the griot.
Thank you again Bruce. You told me a few things I did not know. Its strange how folk think they know a story but it's just not the truth but the truth they were told.
Very interesting indeed. To be honest, I am more of a Burns' Night person myself. I am extremely proud that we have a larger celebration for a poet than a saint.
Hi Bruce, from Australia. I knew a bit of Column. I knew a bit less about Andrew but I did know enough to realise that St Columba was sure to get a mention in the tale. Thanks for filling in some details; I love to hear your stories. I’m a Burns Night man.
I have a very deep compassionate love for Scotland for some reason it keeps popping up into my life aye very unusual so I love the stories keep them rolling❣️❣️🏴🏴
Years ago, I read an English language summary of a study by a Greek scholar showing how the travels of St. Andrew were possible. Very interesting how Andrew could have traveled to Scotland, Russia, India and China on established trade routes. Not necessarily proof of visiting but proof that it was possible and stories of his visits might not all be fables.
Yes. I read this too. It is plausible. Andreas was north of the Black Sea and evangelized and he may came up north to the Baltic Sea. He should have entered a trading ship and landed on scottish shores for a short time. My name is Andreas, the greek original name of the scottish saint. I have a strong inner connection to the flag.
I love the way you tell your history is so passionate and entertaining as well and that amazing that saltire is oldest flag that very cool. I love learning more about Scottish culture and history from you . I love history of British isles such rich amazing history . And that very much includes Scottish history too .
Excellent! Phenomenal! Concise simplicity! I love this video as it has bridged a significant gap ion my family's religious/military history. Thank you!!
My great grandfather, JJ Badenoch, helped found the Illinois St. Andrew's Society for the purpose of providing care and housing for the aged Scots people of Chicago. Several years ago, the then-president of the society contacted me and in our conversation he told me that JJ had attended 50 consecutive St. Andrew's Day Dinners. The St. Andrew's home for the aged is still functioning and the Illinois St. Andrew's Society still has an annual banquet.
Great show I never fail to finish one of your videos without learning something more about Scottish history. I often watch and rewatch. The third times a charm
Now there’s a thought: let’s be nice to each other for a change and spread the wealth around under the Scottish flag. Another interesting, riveting story 🌞
Brilliant as always mate, wish my history teacher was as good a storyteller as you I might actually know some stuff! Ach well better late than never eh 👍✌️mar sin leibh an drasta 🏴
As a brit i must say hand on heart ,that the BEST holiday i have ever had was ....in john o groats North scotland .The house i stayed in was called " the captains house " and my next door neighbour was ......king charles !!!!!...no , i'm not joking , he has a castle called the castle of mey . To watch the sun set into the sea (try saying that after 4 beers 😁) was absolutely breath taking . Thankyou SCOTLAND for being so bloody beautiful. Peace out ✌
You have such a way with the words Bruce, I swear that you must have a wee bit of Ireland in your DNA , a really interesting tale and so well presented,well done.
@@richardlove4287Me too: Burns’ Night, but St Andrew’s Day. And I’ve never heard of haggis being associated with St Andrew’s Day as implied by image at start of video.
@@lindaj5492 , I thought I was going a bit daft there not knowing about the celebrations on St Andrew’s night! lol. But I’m glad I’m not the only one that found the beginning of the video a bit strange.
Love all your videos. I really know nothing about the history of this little country I live in. I have a vast knowledge of Roman and Greek history 😂 Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Always informative, entertaining, and interesting 👍 👏
It's funny as i've never known anyone to make much of a fuss about St Andrews day, but I am from Galloway so perhaps that has something to do with it. Certainly agree with you, Burns night is the proper event. I'd love St Andrews day to be more a day to celebrate great Scots generally, but aye. Great video as always!
@@Paulftate : You learn something new every day, no matter what age you are ... lots of things make sense now ... Bonnie Scotland - Lone Star State ... thanks 👋
@@PYDPIPERLiving in the usa I can say for a fact stars and bars are commonly displayed by racists, the image of a pick up truck with rebel flags and a bunch of grown men looking for someone to harass or fight is not false. They have gone through an upgrade though, now a days it's a trump flag🙄
you are a great breath of air Bruce. my fellow Perthian or whatever a Perth person is called. i was born at 18 Glendevon road and you said you were from round the corner? i lived in craigie knowes for a few years too then Aberdeen. still love Perth and follow the saints. # keep up your great work!
Good day to you. Bruce ive learned so much from you over the years. You are a true storyteller that's why you coukd teach. Happy holidays to you and yours.
St. Patrick's Day is big in America. I've heard of St. David's Day, because I once worked for a Welsh store. But I had never heard of St. Andrew's Day until I listened to you. I feel I've been missing something!
Fascinating history indeed. Just a minor point: The Confederate flag you show is the battle flag of Virginia, not the first flag of the Confederacy. Nor is it the "stars and bars" flag. They did have a Bonnie Blue flag though in 1861. As always, thanks for an entertaining start to a Saturday morning.
I know. I read up on the different incarnations of the Confederate flags, but in videos that are supposed to be compressed into 10-15 minutes I'm never going to please everyone
@@ScotlandHistoryTours Please don't think I am displeased, I love your content - just wanted you to know. A lot of people here make the same mistake - (many of them Southerners).
Nice video, Bruce - I've learnt a helluva lot about Scottish history on this channel! :) Thank you. Personally though, living in Inverness, I'd opt for St. Columba!! Ho, ho!!
Glad I got out of hospital to see your Cruden Bay gig, but I was still feeling somewhat rough. Good stuff, Bruce. I'll come to another when you're up this way.
i live near a small well dedicated to "the Lady" there is a hill next to it is known on some maps as pisgah ,id often wondered when it was renamed or named
@ScotlandHistoryTours probably no sanitation tbf. Children get adult jokes too. I remember 😁. Wishful thinking on my part but I'm going to push this whilst I am able. Great shows and thank you so very much x
Stories bind us together in so many ways. My assumption is that very few people today believe that St Andrew himself intervened in a battle in the 9th Century, but that idea has resonated for over a millennium. Although I will be drinking whisky at any gathering, Burns night is obviously a better celebration. But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer, Gie her a Haggis!
I just found your channel and watched the one about New Zealand. Did you know Robbie Burn's nephew was on of the founders of Dunedin? And another famous area is the McKenzie country named after a Scottish sheep stealer. One of the small towns has a statue to his dog because the locals were so angry that Mckenzie's fathful sheepdog was shot by the local constabulary to get back at Mckenzie.
Bruce, ye NEED to bring your show to the tartan day parade next year in NYC. Loads of members of the Scots societies here would love it! There may be a "coffee" in it for ye :-)

Bruce your cruden bay show was great magic to meet you and the woman was shocked in a good way with the tinder chat 🤣
Bruce, why do you never come to perform this side of the rather modern border?
Religion and history go hand in hand..
Because they are both fake.
All CLAIMS in all your VIDEOS are Required... STORIES will not be Acceptable & SOLID PROVABLE FACTS.
😜
When I'm in charge Bruce, St Andrew's day will be a puclic holiday of celebration, and it will be considered bad form to have Christmas displays or decorations until this date has passed.
Move it to June or July ☀️
I think that is a fabulous idea! When was the most important day in the life of St. Andrew?
I'm with you
Xmas can happen after st Andrew's day
Not before
I agree Az 😂😂
Sorry but im going to rule as king....just as my grandfather's did 😂
“The raid was only to borrow stuff”
The way I burst out laughing
😜
I really enjoy story time with Bruce as a start to my Saturday 😅
Happy Saturday all 😊
Happy Saturday to you...
Story being the key word . Complete nonsense regarding the true history and origins of the Flag.
Hello Bruce, my two favourite things are history and storytelling. You are the embodiment of both. Thank You so much.🥰
Wow, thank you
That was a really nice thing to write...E..
My name is Andrej i'm from Macedonia and we celebrate St Andrej's on the 13th of December
Bingo! Thanks for that
Nice video! The fifteenth century Valois dukes of Burgundy also adopted Saint Andrew as their patron saint and used a red, saw-toothed saltire as a banner, but it seems to be unclear why they choose Andrew and his saltire. One theory is that Duke John the Fearless choose them to honour his Scottish soldiers led by the Earl of Mar and the Earl of Douglas.
🏴Thank you for another great, educational video 🏴
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow love listen to history by Bruce he makes it more interesting,if he had been my history teacher I probably would be teaching Scottish history,thanks for reminding me history is fun and interesting Bruce 😊🙏
Fun fact, the clouds that formed the cross were jet contrails from St Andrew's fighter jet that helped take out the Northumbirans.
Well that's no more unlikely than any Religious Nutter's maniacal ravings! 😜🙄😁
😂
Works for me!
UFOs!
I thought that straight away. Were there such things as linear clouds before the age of powered flight?
Great wee book to compliment this is (for me anyway) The Celtic Way of Evangelism by George G Hunter. Great reminder of how important the migration of Church, faith, learning and more came from the north and west rather than Canterbury. Just a wee setting the record out and straightening of history like Bruce does.

My Scottish heritage is so remote that I don't even pretend to have a connection, But you are such a great story teller that I can't help but be interested in Scottish history.

Brilliant
Brilliant again Bruce. From an Englishman with Scottish roots, I just love the education I get from you

Interesting tale, as always well told. The sky blue of the saltire prescribed is Pantone 300.
Also, while maybe relegated, the Celtic saints weren’t forgotten. It’s said the Monymusk Reliquary residing at the national museum was carried into battle at Bannockburn.

As a Scot our wedding anniversary is Nov 30th that way I am sure to remember it and so far it's worked for 49 years
Thank you for telling our story that pays some tribute to “history”, remembers our failures but stays true to the good things that make Scots Scots
Happy Saint Andrew's Day from Missouri. Thank you, Bruce, for another great show.

I want to know more about that tower (or I presume that’s what it was - the ochre coloured square but odd roofed building you were in near the end).

Fascinating, as always. Doyes the term"navy blue" come from the darkening of the blue in the flag?
Maybe Janet but I have always thought it was something to do with the Royal Navy.
@@pjmoseley243 Yes, but I understood that the darkening was to avoid the fading of RN flags round the world.

I remember being told when a wee girl that the Saltire came about after a white cross was held up to the blue sky (probably by St Andrew).
I've seen the flag in the sky a couple of times.

Scottish Saltire, Union Jack, and the Rebel Flag all connected back to Scotland with that cross?! My American mind is blown! 😮😮😮
