- We're heading to Auld Kirk in the Scottish borders to see the Kirk that links Franklin D Roosevelt to William Wallace. PS...Sorry about Mel Gibson in the thumbnail I know Braveheart is not historically accurate but it looks good :D

All cemeteries are beautiful, but a shame it’s not being looked after. The art work and history alone should be enough, but not that many care anymore. Thank you as always.
D = Delano = FDR
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I always enjoy these old cemeteries.
Thanks for the tour.
Thanks Lucy, you're welcome
Great tour Dan! This was a great cemetery. It had character. Love the 1700s stones. Thanks 😊
Thanks Liz. Glad you liked it and thank you for coming to the premiere
DNA said I’m about 50% Scottish, which is great. I recently discovered my grandparents are also Roosevelts, and FDR shared the same grandparents. The William Wallace connection really ties it together nicely. Very nice coincidence, and proud to learn of a real Scottish connection.
Oh wow thats amazing Dani. Maybe you're linked to the Murrays too
@@deadgoodwalks in fear of sounding stupid, can you tell me who you mean when you say “Murray’s”? I’m still learning about Scotland history.
When will you do a Isle of Bute cemetery?
@@danip3270 Murray was the last name of Roosevelt's ancestors
@@kevincharles1983 Thanks for that! I’m determined to get over there in the near future and learn firsthand.
It looks ancient! How I adore these time worn archaic places. They take my breath away I can’t wait to visit♥️
its not ancient. there are no medieval traces left. all has been destroyed by protestant terrorist during the reformation. What you see here is largely 18th century and victorian.
The skull and crossbones is symbolic to crucifixion, death and mortality. The hourglass is symbolic to the resurrection of the dead.
Delano - His mother's maiden name.
Sarah Anna Delano.
Really enjoyed this walk, Dan. It was worth the surreptitious break from work 😇 Those of us born & living in the USA don't often appreciate how "old" these historical sites actually are. Looking forward to the next one!
It amazes me too Chris. I was staring at a headstone the other day just thinking....thats been in the same spot for 300 years. Mind blowing stuff
Splendid😎✌
You're in my area. Selkirk is not many miles from Kelso. Nice tour 🙏🙏❤️🙏🙏
I would not marry my fifth cousin but it has happened in my family. Awesome walk, thanks so much.
Quite common in high society especially with the royals.
@@deadgoodwalks indeed
I'm already looking forward to the next time... great...thank you for this 😃
Thank you Sabine. Nice to see you at the premiere
Watching in absolute Awe from Michigan.
Thank you for taking us along on these Dead Good Walks, I really enjoy them.
Appreciate that Cristal. Thank you
Only recently came across your channel and think I've binged all your walks already. If you are ever up in the North East of Scotland you'll have plenty of unusual and beautiful graveyards to pick from!
Hi Arlene, thanks for binging. I love Scotland, like you say so many amazing places to see. I'll be back up there soon x
The D in FDR…Franklin Delano…I grew up near Delano, MN USA…Billy Bob Thornton shot a movie there and learned how to pronounce it correctly lol
Went to Crathie Kirk a few years ago, and the graveyard is where John Brown (Queen Victoria's "boyfriend") is buried, and he has 2 marker stones - one from his family, and one from Queen Victoria.
Thats interesting I didn't know that. Thank you
That was awesome Dan. As always I learn something new again. Nice job.
What a beautiful cemetery. Is definitely worth to be well maintained!
Hopefully they stand the fallen graves up at least
Thanks Dan....this was a beautiful cemetery!!
Thanks for the crackers cathy
@@deadgoodwalks Anytime, my friend! ha
Another great walk .thanks sooooo much .love your videos
Absolutely loved this one. The history was fantastic. Plus my brother lives in Selkirk & that's a place I won't be visiting. So cheers for sharing Dan.
Really enjoyed this rump through this old cemetery with you. Could I as a subscriber to your channel, ask you please, in the next place you visit, could slow down a we bit so I can try to read the legible tombstones. Breezing by them is to quick for my old eyes. Thank you for showing us William Wallace's site. I like the movie Mel Gibson made of him, though some parts were fiction. There are no William Wallace's today!
Thank you very much. I do try and keep walking as much as I can. I film in 4k so you guys can pause and read all the details, that should help.
Great tour Dan loved it really instresing really beautiful
Enjoyed, TYVM!
Welcome B
As I am so you will be, ever it was thus RIP
Thanks again for taking me along on your peaceful and serene walks!
Thanks for coming Sue
It’s Delano
Love watching your cemetery walks
Thanks again Dan👍
As always Dan, fascinating and informative. Thanks, Deborah
Morton
Great adventure today, ty
So cool, and so old. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting video. Thank u for sharing it with us.
Thanks Jeep Girl! x
beautiful Dan! awesome 🤗❤️
Thank you Violet. Nice chatting to you
@@deadgoodwalks very nice chatting with you! thanks again! ☮️
What great history you’ve seen Thank you sharing! Roosevelt’s middle name was Delano
There is another graveyard that actually gets used about 2km from this site,that probably gets the majority of funds, but i shall ask the localcouncillor if you would like ?
👍 Great Episode.
Thanks Joel. Great to see you in the chat
@@deadgoodwalks Thank you 😊.
Your walking in the footsteps of Sir Walter Scott who was once the Sheriff of Selkirk, died 1832. I’m sure he attended burials in this graveyard.
0:00 can’t wait
My SpiritBox gives many "Templarian Era" type words, having to do with King, Richard, Queens Margaret, Mary and Eleanor, Sceptre, God, Castle, Moat, Jesters, Serfs, Feifdom, Quagmire, Siege, Cremation, Funeral Pyre (burned at the stake) and other names like James, William and Bernard, which are of that period. ❤
Robert the Bruce is my long distant cousin. Very interesting. Thank you. Love your videos
Thats incredible, Melrose abbey isn't too far from here, where his heart is buried. Hopefully I'll get there one day to cover it
pretty much everyone here in Scotland claims that they are decendents of thee Bruce .. or William Wallace (even tho he didnt had any offspring)
Nope, wouldn't marry any family no matter how far removed 😅 Here in South Africa we speak Afrikaans, and we call a church a Kerk, interesting. Although that place is not well kept, it's still hauntingly beautiful, thanks for the walk, be save🙏
Thats interesting to know its very similar. Thats for watching again
Sonder enige twyfel het familiehuwelike ook in jou familie voorgekom. meestal sonder dat mense dit geweet het. Die wit gemeenskappies in die ou dae was klein. En mense het gewoontlik nie ver getrou nie. wat beteken dat daar onvermydelik familiehuwelike plaasgevind het. Dis ook so dat die DNA bron van afrikaners beperk is. Dis n seker aantal families wat in die vroe geskiedenis van SA daar gevestig het en hulle het met mekaar getroud. Dis ook hoekom dit so uniek is dat in SA daar n beperktere aantal vanne is en die vanne wat daar is het derhonderduisende draers. Dit is wat in byvoorbeeld Nederland, duitsland ens minder voorkom. In Nederland is daar bv n groot verskeieheid aan vanne. natuurlik is daar die populeres soos Jansen, de Vries, v/d Veen, van Dijk, Smit ens maar die verskeidenheid aan vanne in SA is minder...... en die wat daar is het baie draers. Dus dit is basies onmoontlik dat jou eie man nie op een of ander manier familie van jou is nie. Via n baie groot ompad via n oumagrootjie se oumagrootjie se ouma grootjie of n agter-agter-agter-agter-agter neef. Op die ou einde is ons wit mense almal familie van mekaar.
Very interesting and really old. I wonder why there's an hour glass in their tombstone? At least a couple of them.
Not just Franklin but also Theodore Roosevelt his brother. Thanks, Dan!
Oops, cousins only, I stand corrected! 😉
They were common mortality symbols, the sands of time running out, to remind you that you will die one day too
I’m patiently awaiting the “face reveal” video. You’re amazing! 😍
old cemetary they are interesting i wish had a car that would be awesome see at night sorry i havent watch your videos i was sickness that was going on i love your videos
Hope you're on the mend now Millie. Yes it would be interesting to see it at night with the different atmosphere
FDR is one of my favorite presidents.
The Very unusual headstone that you thought to be a pineapple is actually a thistle headstone
Well apparently William Wallace was my 22nd great grandfather's brother. A lot of things make sense now. One being that I'm 5'4 but get me angry enough and I'm 10ft tall and show no fear..at all.
I would not want to marry any cousin of mine.
Another great video Dan! But I have a bone to pick with TH-cam. I didn’t even receive a notification about this video, sorry I didn’t watch it right away bro. But I actually live just a few miles away from Roosevelts little White House in warm springs Georgia. But appreciate the video and take care!
Thanks Grinch, is that with the bell clicked too?
@@deadgoodwalks oh yeah, I checked all that out to make sure. Because it’s been notifying me about all your videos, except this one.
Looks like those headstones could use a spruce up. By the way, it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in case you were wondering.
Lovely place. Good walk!
Thank you Emb
I’m related to both enjoyed your walk..
Wow that's quite the significant old bone yard.
Beautiful place but they need to keep it maintained wonderful old stones and history ty.
The church's real name: the Kirk of Our Lady o the forest.
16:00 Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Cant wait
Excellent
Thanks Vince
Will you do a Isle of Bute cemetery?
Magnificent cemetery🪦🧡
Hey Brenda, glad you enjoyed todays walk
There are some stocks in Berwick in Northumberland, just at the side of the old town hall, I have seen this spot a few times.
Well they aren't the real stocks, just reproductions but but one of Wallaces arms were hung there for sometime in the day.
It would obviously been a different building back in his day but if it is correct then it is a place worth visiting.
Hi have you been to william Wallace monument it's a great place to visit not so good if you're frightened of heights love the vids of cemeteries I'm hoping to go to Drummond's castle one day my ancestral home
I drove past it on the way to logie old kirk, it looks amazing but I didn't have time to go up it. Hopefully i'll be back up that way too.
My favourites are the older 17th century ones that are decaying and are smaller in general. As you said often with the skull and crossbones/hour glasses. I’d love to see a legible 1500s tombstone but I don’t know if any.
There's a legible one from 1616 in my video from st peters church in Llanbedr, it's not as fancy as the ones in this video but the fact it still exists is amazing
there are no medieval traces left at the Selkirk Church. everything has been destroyed by protestant terrorist during the reformation. This Church used to be a significant Holy site dedicated to Our Lady o' the Forest.
Yay!
The D in Roosevelts name is for Delanor.
Such a beautiful, historic graveyard. It is too bad it isn't kept up better
I know, I suppose its not too bad for its age but a little more could be done
Think sometimes you have to aer on the side of caution walking past these big grave stones. Imagine if one fell on you, be unfortunate. Another great explore & a shame this one is a little run down.
Yeah, you mean the one leaning towards me? I was going to go closer and look for a date but I thought the same thing
It so happens that a friend of mine from this very town (Selkirk) was actually hurt when crushed under a gravestone but it was the other graveyard in the town about 2km from this site.
Yeah...that pause thing to read...it doesn't work on Android phones...idk about other phones...so I never get any more info except what you say...sad...
I wonder if any of this place look like it did when William Wallace was therw ?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
I don't think there is an actual grave of William Wallace, as you know he was hung and Quartered and his body parts were placed at all four quarters of England, Berwick being the farthest near the Scottish border.
He also didnt had the right to be buried in a cemetary as he was Roman-Catholic and he was considered an aposate and by most Scots people as a barbaric criminal and a thug. As he was sentenced to death he was not allowed a spot on consacrated ground. ps: it was thanks to the Scottish people that he was captured and trialed for his crimes.
William wallace more or less didnt became a hero until the victorian era, the age of over-romantisizing scottishness and writing heroic pseudohistoric novels of chivalry and bravery.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
FDR...relative of George Washington.
george washington relative buried in tring england cemetary
One more Bit Of Intrest,Theodore A Distant Cousin Of Franklin, Was Eleanors Uncle!!
Just to let you know, you can actually marry your first cousin, hence so much inbreeding in royalty 👍
