- The Battle of Culloden, 16th April 1746
To tell the tale of Culloden is extremely important and for me a huge pressure to not let the men down who were there. I'm not saying that I know everything about the politics of the battle and nobody ever will, but when I research history I can only put myself in my ancestors shoes. These men who gave their lives were innocent men and boys whose lives were meaningless to the powers that be and those that survived would never live in peace again. I also never mentioned the brutality of the aftermath of Culloden but I guess that all deserves a video of its own.
I hope to see many of you at the memorial next year!

Amazing work from the Highland pipers for keep our culture alive!
You have quite the talent for story telling I enjoyed it 😀 I can only image what that man must have felt seeing his son across the battlefield.
Thanks for sharing the history of the battle. My ancestors fought at Culloden. One was the Laird of Drum, who after the battle escaped and hid in a secret room in Drum castle. He made it to France where he spent years in exile, until he was allowed to return to his lands.
I feel your passion .This video brought me to tears .
Brilliant
I’ve been there in the 80s but to be honest I didn’t get the full story .
Your portrayal of what happened is down to earth and easy to understand .
Thanks you’ve done a great job
Cheers

Just found this channel, love your content man! I see it's been a year since your last post, I hope you are not done. Thanks for what you have given us either way 👍👍👍
Well told, the passion really comes across. Many seem to have forgotten the true tale of Culloden and the aftermath. To this day some Army Regiments will not allow tartan in the messes.
Thats crazy mate, wouldnt see me anywhere near a mess again! I done ma time with those brainwashing basturds! Cheera
Following Culloden, British army Highland regiments were allowed to continue wearing the Highland dress. Yet more proof that the Dress Act is not evidence of cultural genocide or whatever propagandists call it.
Love the passion you have for the story .
Absolutely spectacular history and you told it with such passion - thank you for such a well done vid!!
Glad you enjoyed it bud cheers!
It all changed after this one battle….so very painful
The pain has never left the lands!
Very informative, thanks. There will be a lot of people who have never heard of Culloden , especially south of the border and many who do know, like me, probably don’t know the politics behind it.
It was a tragedy, they didn’t stand a chance against rifle and cannon. They were like lambs led to slaughter but they were warriors each and everyone.
You're so very right bud, may those who gave their lives be remembered by all!
The Jacobites were demons, no better than the Redcoats, but they lost.
Thanks for the history lesson mate. I love your passion
Glad you enjoyed brother!
So informative. What happened to our people is heart wrenching and unthinkable.it really stirs something up inside of me!.
Our ancestral lines and way of life were destroyed and broken 💔 but will still be remembered and live on in the few that care to remember. Lest we forget the ones who fought for freedom and for our future.
The brave shall always be brave but can the weak be cured?
Just finished binge watching all your vids I love how much you are interested in history, I glad I'm not the only young person fascinated in what happened before...
Yeah, Bonnie Prince Charlie was a prick… a wee effeminate Italian! Who has been falsely romanticised.
Unfortunately, the battle was a forgone conclusion even before it started and it must’ve been a truly horrific sight to behold.
We, as Scots, should never forget the impact the aftermath of Culloden had on our country and NEVER, EVER forget the brave men and boys who lost their lives that day!
Thank you so much for making this, Arran! 🏴💙
Couldnt agree more with you Dewi! These people should always be remembered and their tales told to all.
@@ArranOfAlba The Jacobites must be remembered, but not in a good way. They murdered and pillaged to put a Catholic autocrat on the throne of an overwhelmingly Protestant kingdom.
Haven’t seen you post in a while so wanted to send you a hello & well wishes. Bright new year blessings friend!🌞♥️
I need to watch this a few more times, soo much information to take on! Thank you for a AMAZING video.
Thank you
Hey bro, how are you?! I haven't heard about you for a long time... Cheers, Martin.
A very very thoughtful video Arran...
The story and the images were so moving. I am speechless. And I felt that the video was too short... I wanted to listen more about it. Your people is so admirable. Thas why when i went to Alba, every step there was like... uffff what happened around these lands, too much history, too much bravery, but also, too much loss, but for a cause, a hope, a future...
You are great, Arran. What a piece of Scot!
Never forget the real history of YOU!
They are trying to change history, DON'T let em do it!!!
Love the y way you look at this, band of brothers.
Thanks. Superb video.
So heart wrenchingly moving epic history told, Arran. The Outlander story follows the Fraisers. I read many a historical romances of the highlander clans when I was younger.
In 1740, my ancestors, 7 brothers Braun were granted a King James Grant of lands in Wapakoneta, Ohio from Boden Boden Germany. They fought Native American Indians for the Territorial Treaties that stole the land from them basically. Pioneers, farmers who were untrusting of, having no loyalties to George Washington.

This is incredibly interesting story vander loo! I know so little about the indiginous Americans, ive spent many years researching Austrailians and Canadians but honestly the states are kinda vague to me! Ill have to dig a bit! Cheers bud! stay free
Awesome video again mate!
Yo bro this one is about to get an Oscar. Amazing history. I'm surprised you got less than a million views. All Scottish people should watch this. The red coats sounds like communism. So much in here. I'm proud of you bro. Keep it real.
Haha thanks ma man, took ma time to do these men honour! Tapadh leat a brahair!
I like how people demonise the Redcoats for their brutality but ignore the slaughter committed by Jacobites and the Highland clans all the time.
Thank you brother, it's nice to see someone as passionate as i am about our highlander history.Curious what clan you are descended from, i wish i could walk those grounds, i am in the us,i am decended from clan Ranald of clan Macdonald.I am very confident that my line run directly back to somerled.
Missing yer videos lad hope you have a blessed Samhain
It was a political war as most are and so very sad to loose a whole way of life
Good job. I enjoyed the video. Very sad.
All wars are political…so sad
Oh and Happy Easter to you
🖤
I hope your not done making videos🤔😥
Cultural annihilation it's taken generations to get some o it back
I think an aftermath video is only appropriate!
This is a tired old myth. The dismantlement of the clan system and its way of life was caused by the Agricultural Revolution, when clan chiefs ruthlessly evicted their own tenants to make room for large-scale sheep farming. The British government’s temporary ban of the Highland dress was a measure to stamp out Jacobitism, while the disarming act was absolutely necessary to ensure the constant bloodshed in the Highlands was brought to an end.
You ok?

Alba Gu Brath!
I wouldn’t call the Jacobite clansmen innocent…. they mercilessly slaughtered retreating and surrendering government soldiers at multiple battles, like at Prestonpans in 1745. They caused a huge amount of unrest and strife in their unjust attempt to put a Catholic on the throne of an overwhelmingly Protestant kingdom. Of course, the women and children who suffered because of the reprisals were innocent. However, in the 18th century, brutality was common.
Are there any cousin issues over there anyone else notice repeat 1672 events
Stop disappearing for months, damn you!
