My mother taught us about our Scottish ancestry. She told us never trust any government. Because even when you think you can trust them, they will take everything even your life, if it brings them more power. And listening to this kinda proves her right. I mean we all knew the oppression that the crown put on people, but you dont really think about all of the innocent people killed for their power lust.

Low Government Trust is surprisingly felt here in Newfoundland and Labrador, where we had our way of life destroyed by the Canadian government when we were united with them in the name of centralization. There's still a lot of people here descending from the same people who lived in fishing villages on the coast that were forced to move inland or to larger communities that hold great resentment of not only the national government but also the provincial government since the politicians who voted for union were also the ones who screwed us over afterwards until they were voted out of office
@@pizzarat5097 What happened with the government in Newfoundland and the fishing villages? I know that a lot of people lost their jobs when the cod populations crashed but I haven't heard about the government doing much besides trying to put a ban on cod fishing (way too late to do much at that point).

"We Scots can hold a grudge" there are two families in my area who are Scottish decent. Apperantly when the two of them came to America in the 1880s, one of the MacDonald boys stole, then killed a steer owned by the Glovers. To this day, the two families are VERY resentful of each other, it's not uncommon to hear about one of the younger boys from either family being arrested after getting into it with the other.

"When I said 'Kill McDonald's!', I meant provide economic incentives for the establishment of diverse food shops to prevent the uprising of fast food chains, not slaughter the Glencoe MacDonalds!"
When I went to Scotland some years ago, I had no idea about this massacre. Our tour guide Doug was always in good spirits as he took us around and explained the history of Scotland. But when he brought up this tragedy he was dead serious and everyone in our group was shocked into silence when he explained the grisly details to us. I'll never forget it, and I'm glad that you were able to talk about it as well. It truly is horrific what some people are capable of.
A poem/song my Grandma used to sing me: “Oh cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe And covers the grave o' Donald And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe And murdered the house o' MacDonald They came through the blizzard, we offered them heat A roof ower their heads, dry shoes for their feet We wined them and dined them, they ate o' our meat And slept in the house O' MacDonald They came from Fort William with murder mind The Campbell had orders, King William had signed Pit all tae the sword, these words underlined And leave none alive called MacDonald They came in the night when the men were asleep That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep. Like murdering foxes, among helpless sheep They slaughtered the house o' MacDonald Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe Some fled in the night, were lost in the snow. Some lived to accuse him, what struck the first blow But gone was the house of MacDonald”.

GoT ripped off the history of UK in so many ways. Aegon the Conqueror is William the Conqueror. Andals are Anglo's. Firstmen are Celts. Houses Stark vs Lannister is ripped from houses York vs Lancaster. And as this vid shows: Red Wedding is modeled after the Glencoe massacre
@@terrypennington2519 it really depends on your teacher and the curriculum at the time I was forced to sit through 5 years of topics that weren't even remotely related to each other 1 year of castle design 1 year of fucking Russian revolution 1 year of world war1 and 2 (the best year) 1 year of the cold war and 1 year of the British empires expansion(which included the man movie days). The UK has a really good education system it really just depends on the teacher you get and what they choose most teachers will pick UK related history topics it just so happens that our history is so vast it often drags in other countries history in with it. also school is synonymous with teaching bullshit you'll never need to know so take that as you will.
@@incandescentadolescents1889 I guess our history classes regularly teached shit about ancient Egypt, French and Indian war, American revolution, a little bit about the war of 1812, age of recovery, gilded age, American imperialism age, Mexican American war, WW1 and then WW2, and then finally Cold War. There were occasionally a few bouts of foreign country periods such as the French revolution and tid bits of the glorious revolution, especially the industrial revolution, but we never strayed away from French, British, and American history into other country histories such as Russian, Spanish or Italian. Aside for the foreign revolutions, my high school history classes taught in that order. We were encouraged to check out other foreign nation's history's that were not explained in detail or only had small bits of information based on the courses we were in, but good luck getting American kids too worried about sex and clout to care enough to bother. Hell I don't think any student other than the nerds and I even knew about the Russian revolution and the rise of communism.
Yup. Schools don't teach a great deal of British history. A little bit of the Tudors, 3 years of WW2, and a footnote mention of the Romans. I didn't even know until adulthood that the Anglo Saxons came here from what is today Denmark. Still don't know the names of half the Kings of England throughout history. Wasn't taught anything about Napoleon, presumably because talking about him would mean mentioning Britain. Oh, there was one more thing. We were taught how evil we were because of the slave trade, right before launching into American history that we didn't need to know. Schooling in the UK doesn't teach anything useful. Not even our own history. It's just a place to put kids during the day, that is under the control of the State.

Dank, that Southern Hospitality thing is rooted there, Many Scottish Clans people settled in those eastern hills and mountains of America. Those ideals and culture are still alive today.
Us yanks don't hear much about Scottish history, so I'm finding this pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing you do more of this sort of historical content.
I didn’t know European history was so violent. All of this is kind of glanced over, at least it was in the schools I was in. It was kinda like: “They had some wars: 7 years long, 10 years long etc, but lots of prosperity and then they had Winston Churchill and The Beetles. Okay let’s move on! Anybody wanna learn about the trail of tears or Salem witch trials again? Did we talk about ‘nam yet today?”
Slawa Boga, would love to learn more about it to be honest. It’s very interesting to hear about all the terrible things the school systems like to pretend didn’t happen.
@Slawa Boga While the causes of the wars is more classical as Count mentioned, some of the acts committed were far from controlled. The throwing away of men's lives in the interest of a named man who never cared for them must be mentioned as well. Sprinkled among the travesties are moments of honor and courage by lords and downtrodden. Both aspects are able to teach a lesson and should be open for honest discussion and beneficial exposure. America as well. When it comes to killing people, no hand comes away clean. I would certainly listen to the Count give a blunt account of any event he saw fit, but I think he seems motivated to teach about his people to his people, and I find that honorable.
Honestly dank, this was fascinating. I would absolutely love a dedicated series to Scottish history, I would watch every second of it. You’re an amazing storyteller dude.
Ivan mostly tried fighting poland for 24 years, hated the boyars, started what was basicaly a cult, set up a murder zone which he didnt say where and bonk his son over the head with the royal sceptor and much much more. Yeah I guess he could get one.
“They have created a desert and called it peace” is a quote taken from an ancient British monarch (pre-angles, so Celtic Brit king) giving a speech warning of the Roman invasions under Claudias. The speech is preserved in the histories of Tacitus. The full quote (translated from the Latin to English of course) goes like this: “Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if he be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of ‘empire’; they make a desert and call it ‘peace’.”
Slightly incorrect, it was during the campaigns in Scotland by the Roman General Agricola during Domitian's reign, around 30 years after Claudius' invasion.
The only piece of scottish history I learned at school was the jacobites, we were only taught about the last jacobite uprising that led to the United Kingdom being formed, (quite selective if you ask me) that is the only Scottish history I learned at school in Glasgow, its shocking hundreds of years later our history and traditions are still swept under the carpet, thank you dankula for this video, even though I've lived in scotland all my life, I never knew any of this
As someone who grew up in london all my life. I love scotish history my dads scottish so half my family is scotish and i always try to visit every couple years
@EccentricSage If im not mistaken United Kingdom Mandates that all schools follow a standardised curriculum, the content of said curriculum is decided by the individual countries with the exception of Maths and English, this enables the native languages to still be taught. However the reason why such things like this, and England/Britains attrocities as an empire often gets brushed over is because we only teach History up untill Year 8 (12-13 years old) after that they can choose History as one of their limited classes... not many students do, so they never get taught about the horros of the Brittish Empire and our dark past, but it is in the curriculum, you can argue well teach it before they chose the extra classes, but then in reality how do you really tell a story like this to under 13 year olds?
It seems selfless but he had nothing to gain from there support and eventual deaths. A living person who might support you is worth more than a million dead supporters.
My Grandfather was a McAteer, apparently they suffered losses at Glencoe. I had heard him say something about it but watching this was intense. It's crazy what our forefathers endured. Really puts the struggles I complain about into perspective.
The Battle of blair mountain could make for an interesting episode. Black and White American miners literally battling the US national guard in the 20s
Dankula: The slaughter under trust of Glencoe actually inspired another atrocity, something that shocked people all around the world. *Heinz ketchup ad plays*
My great grandparents came from the Highlands (Chisolm) and settled in the Appalachian mountains in the late 1800s. I think you were correct, at least in my family, about Americans with Scot ancestry knowing a bit about our beginnings. Stories were passed down quite a bit. Pride was also ingrained in us from a very early age, now at 37 I am instilling that very same pride in my own children.
regarding the "Southern Hospitality" vs "Highland Hospitality", don't forget that a large portion of the people who settled the southern and eastern Appalachian regions of what would become the United States were actually displaced Scots. So really, the two things are one and the same, only separated by time and an ocean. EDIT: This is also why so many Americans with Scottish ancestors have so much knowledge of Scottish history. Many of the Scots who could, fled here, and much of our tradition of independence and our "Fighting Spirit" come from Scots and Irish immigrants.
It also explains why some southern Appalachian words/slang aren't far off from words Scots and Irish use to this day. My great great grandfather immigrated to Appalachia from Scotland in the late 1800's, and my family's been here ever since. It's really interesting to see the subtle influences from all that in the culture out here.
No offence, in Ireland we have a phrase to describe those who claim to be Irish, without being born there, or having citizenship, simply based on where a family member was born a 100 or 200 years ago as "plastic paddies". It feels to us like they are clutching to a thin Irish or Scottish ancestry like a guide rope. We're not offended, just amused, it's "sweet". These hyphenated Americans.
I lived in North Carolina for 10 years and studied southern culture. There is a very high number of people with Scottish ancestry (there's even a Scotland county in NC). There's a reason why the Confederate flag design was based on the St. Andrew's cross, and why fried food and warm hospitality is widespread. Much of southern U.S. culture can be traced directly to Scotland.

"We Scots can hold a grudge" there are two families in my area who are Scottish decent. Apperantly when the two of them came to America in the 1880s, one of the MacDonald boys stole, then killed a steer owned by the Glovers. To this day, the two families are VERY resentful of each other, it's not uncommon to hear about one of the younger boys from either family being arrested after getting into it with the other.

A roof ower their heads, dry shoes for their feet
We wined them and dined them, they ate o' our meat
And slept in the house O' MacDonald
They came from Fort William with murder mind
The Campbell had orders, King William had signed
Pit all tae the sword, these words underlined
And leave none alive called MacDonald
They came in the night when the men were asleep
That band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep.
Like murdering foxes, among helpless sheep
They slaughtered the house o' MacDonald

@@incandescentadolescents1889 I guess our history classes regularly teached shit about ancient Egypt, French and Indian war, American revolution, a little bit about the war of 1812, age of recovery, gilded age, American imperialism age, Mexican American war, WW1 and then WW2, and then finally Cold War. There were occasionally a few bouts of foreign country periods such as the French revolution and tid bits of the glorious revolution, especially the industrial revolution, but we never strayed away from French, British, and American history into other country histories such as Russian, Spanish or Italian. Aside for the foreign revolutions, my high school history classes taught in that order.
We were encouraged to check out other foreign nation's history's that were not explained in detail or only had small bits of information based on the courses we were in, but good luck getting American kids too worried about sex and clout to care enough to bother. Hell I don't think any student other than the nerds and I even knew about the Russian revolution and the rise of communism.
Yup. Schools don't teach a great deal of British history. A little bit of the Tudors, 3 years of WW2, and a footnote mention of the Romans. I didn't even know until adulthood that the Anglo Saxons came here from what is today Denmark. Still don't know the names of half the Kings of England throughout history. Wasn't taught anything about Napoleon, presumably because talking about him would mean mentioning Britain.
Oh, there was one more thing. We were taught how evil we were because of the slave trade, right before launching into American history that we didn't need to know.
Schooling in the UK doesn't teach anything useful. Not even our own history. It's just a place to put kids during the day, that is under the control of the State.

Yet we get to hear more of it than them thanks to that wonderful thing callsed free speach.
I didn’t know European history was so violent. All of this is kind of glanced over, at least it was in the schools I was in.
It was kinda like:
“They had some wars: 7 years long, 10 years long etc, but lots of prosperity and then they had Winston Churchill and The Beetles. Okay let’s move on! Anybody wanna learn about the trail of tears or Salem witch trials again?
Did we talk about ‘nam yet today?”
Slawa Boga, would love to learn more about it to be honest. It’s very interesting to hear about all the terrible things the school systems like to pretend didn’t happen.
Usa and the uk are 100 percent secretly gay lovers. I once saw the queen giving trump a hand job.
@Slawa Boga While the causes of the wars is more classical as Count mentioned, some of the acts committed were far from controlled. The throwing away of men's lives in the interest of a named man who never cared for them must be mentioned as well.
Sprinkled among the travesties are moments of honor and courage by lords and downtrodden.
Both aspects are able to teach a lesson and should be open for honest discussion and beneficial exposure. America as well. When it comes to killing people, no hand comes away clean.
I would certainly listen to the Count give a blunt account of any event he saw fit, but I think he seems motivated to teach about his people to his people, and I find that honorable.

“They have created a desert and called it peace” is a quote taken from an ancient British monarch (pre-angles, so Celtic Brit king) giving a speech warning of the Roman invasions under Claudias. The speech is preserved in the histories of Tacitus. The full quote (translated from the Latin to English of course) goes like this:
“Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy be rich, they are rapacious; if he be poor, they lust for dominion; neither the east nor the west has been able to satisfy them. Alone among men they covet with equal eagerness poverty and riches. To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of ‘empire’; they make a desert and call it ‘peace’.”
Slightly incorrect, it was during the campaigns in Scotland by the Roman General Agricola during Domitian's reign, around 30 years after Claudius' invasion.
To be fair, English schools aren't big on teaching English history either.

@EccentricSage If im not mistaken United Kingdom Mandates that all schools follow a standardised curriculum, the content of said curriculum is decided by the individual countries with the exception of Maths and English, this enables the native languages to still be taught.
However the reason why such things like this, and England/Britains attrocities as an empire often gets brushed over is because we only teach History up untill Year 8 (12-13 years old) after that they can choose History as one of their limited classes... not many students do, so they never get taught about the horros of the Brittish Empire and our dark past, but it is in the curriculum, you can argue well teach it before they chose the extra classes, but then in reality how do you really tell a story like this to under 13 year olds?

So really, the two things are one and the same, only separated by time and an ocean.
EDIT: This is also why so many Americans with Scottish ancestors have so much knowledge of Scottish history. Many of the Scots who could, fled here, and much of our tradition of independence and our "Fighting Spirit" come from Scots and Irish immigrants.
It also explains why some southern Appalachian words/slang aren't far off from words Scots and Irish use to this day. My great great grandfather immigrated to Appalachia from Scotland in the late 1800's, and my family's been here ever since. It's really interesting to see the subtle influences from all that in the culture out here.
No offence, in Ireland we have a phrase to describe those who claim to be Irish, without being born there, or having citizenship, simply based on where a family member was born a 100 or 200 years ago as "plastic paddies". It feels to us like they are clutching to a thin Irish or Scottish ancestry like a guide rope. We're not offended, just amused, it's "sweet". These hyphenated Americans.

Yeah, true. I didn't notice until you said it.

I lived in North Carolina for 10 years and studied southern culture. There is a very high number of people with Scottish ancestry (there's even a Scotland county in NC). There's a reason why the Confederate flag design was based on the St. Andrew's cross, and why fried food and warm hospitality is widespread. Much of southern U.S. culture can be traced directly to Scotland.
Including the KKK as well
'Some of the women of the English royal family, liked real men.'- This a diss track lol?
Yeah. I don’t know who to side with, problem with being 50 50
@@gangiskhan6948 Whenever you're 50/50 English and something else, always default to supporting the non-English side because even the English hate the English.
@@gangiskhan6948 I'm 100% Scottish but lived in England most my life, only racism I experienced in my life, was in Scotland, because they thought I was English. The scots think the English hate them but it's the other way round tbh.... Told them idiots whats what too, they're a bit soft when it comes to road stuff.
I also lost my license in Scotland, and I'm convinced it was because of my accent lol. (got snitched on)
best people I know are Scottish though, so meh
this is gonna be a good one full of him saying "murder" in that accent !
I still dont get why people ask for this. Its not even that different to the way others say it.
@@JW-YT The difference in vocalized Rrs versus the Trill/tap R sound made by scottish people is quite distinct.
The biggest difference in many accents is simply the R sound; try listening to some different people speak with that in mind and it becomes really weird listening to new accents.

@@mikeishome69 fair enough, a guess its hard to hear yourself.
It reminds me of when I went to Canada on holiday for the first time. I thought I spoke perfect english until I realised nobody could understand anything I was saying.
Had to get my uncle to translate as he lives over there.
I sent the link to my parents. Low and behold, my mother replied back and said, “Thanks Britt! Interesting story and story teller was good too.”
Dank is now mother approved.
You have to be a special kind of heartless to do this to people who took you in and took care of you.

There are places in Scotland where Campbells still are not welcome to stay. But it is more a joke nowadays tbh
It ended up ok for the McDonalds. They later became extremely successful in the restaurant business.
Funny but the in reality the McDonald brothers were completely screwed over by Roy Croc.
@@Doomwolf82002 no that's an urban myth. Ray Kroc went into shoes.
MacDonald. As someone with it as my middle name and a long family history of MacDonalds the distinction is pretty important
@@jameskilgour387 my middle name is Burger King so I totally understand your frustration
One of the descendants became a well known farmer who had a lot of different species of livestock
Can confirm: don't get taught this at school.
It's all Henry VIII, there's a bit of Mary Queen of Scots, but it's watered down.
Great video Danks!
@The Cornfield They seem to focus on that a lot and take away for a lot of other important historic events
I was taught about this and the rest of the jacobites up until culloden.
Other than Tudors we had a load of Romans, Russians and America. My family are MacDonalds and this is the first lesson I've ever had on Glencoe.
James Kilgour just out of interest where in scotland are you from?
