And both the Campbells and the McDonalds emigrated to America, where their feud continues to this day as a battle between fast food and soup...
🙂
😂😂
Like my partner n me 😂 I'm MacDonald he's Campbell Karma ;). Joke ❤
Ha ha. Well said.
McDonald is Irish and Macdonald is Scottish
Thank you, Mr German-Austrian, for telling me about my own Scottish heritage.
Man it really sucks being an American not having any culture or barely knowing your ancestry.
It’s Ight I just found mine out my dads was ancient Hawaiian and Maori and moms is macdougalls it’ll take time but you’ll learn more
@@SpankyDaTanky All i know is im distantly Irish, English, German, Scandinavian. So your average american mutt.
We do have a lot of culture. The south west is so different from new england. Our, culture is shaped by every one that made a mark here. Our mentality and spirit is akin to the romans.
@@matts1451 That is funny as shit, in no way are we like the romans.
That’s what happens when they run from the troubles😂
Hey man, great video. Keep it up! Wishing you the very best!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and wishes!
I’m from Prestwick originally, live in Los Angeles now. If I was able,I would move home in a second. I could really go for a sausage supper and an IRN BRU. And a curly wurly.
What exciting information. Besides, I'm a huge fan of Curly Wurly!
I am Scottish, from North Lanarkshire, Scotland and when I think of Scotland I think of Tartan, Bagpipes, Shortbread, Tablet, Whiskey, the Clans 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂.
Honestly, when you grow up in Scotland you eat a lot of Shortbread, your dad drinks Johnny walker, everyone has Tartan in their house even if it's just a blanket over the couch, people aren't lying when they think of those things 🤣😂🤣😂.
It doesn't help with the whole Clan stereotype when people in Scotland tend to refer to you by your last name and think you are related to everyone with that last name, for me it's always "Oi! Reid! Do you know a Robert Reid!" I am like "Yeah, I met a atleast 5 x Roberts Reid's when I went shopping last Tuesday" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣. (In case you don't get it 'Robert' and 'Reid' are extremely common names in Scotland).
I think stereotypes are there for a reason.
What a funny and lovely anecdote! Appreciated!
@@curiousaustriantours6962 I think it's maybe satirical.
@@curiousaustriantours6962 I said this as what he wrote doesn't match my own experiences and he spelt whisky the Irish way. I could be judging him unfairly though!
👍
Great 👍
Thank you! Glad you like the video. 👍
You forget the MacGregors were Proscribed for nearly 200 years, hence the Children of the Mist.
Thank you for your great contribution!
Aye!
My clan has a few dress colors. Ross clan. They even have a white one modern one that looks like a fancy dress. I've found about 6 different styles. For different occasions. The one I am used to is red. With some greens through it. But when I look at it. It looks like something that would be expensive.
Many arriving in South Africa.
My family are septs of the great MacNeils of Barra clan who were notorious pirate's back in the day. I read somewhere either a book or online that even after there notorious pirate day's that it was a custom for a clan member or clan Chief to steal from other clans or people.
I'm doing some heritage research and have a question. My ancestors bear the name of Campbell but were born in Sutherland and Caithness areas. This dates back to about 1700. With the shift from the clan system is it safe to assume that before this time (1700) they would've lived in the Argyll region?
Thank you for your question.
As far as I am aware, it seems very likely that they may have lived in the Argyll region, as this is thought to be where the Campbell clan started first; NB: the name Campell hadn't been yet established by then, only shortly thereafter, by means of marriage, as far as I know. Also, around the same time, Perthshire was seen as an additional region of where the Campbell Clan started to establish themselves, besides Argyll.
@@curiousaustriantours6962 Thank you! Upon doing further research I discovered that somewhere along the lines my ancestors had the name of MacIvor/MacIver and gained the alias Campbell sometime before 1700. Finding this information out has made it easier to understand some of the records as some ancestors had both MacIvor and Campbell as their recorded names.
@@SirEchoGaming What great news!
Excellent video, all the best
Many thanks!
My mom was a Menzies.hence clan Menzies,and my ancestors were born in Menzies castle
Why do I have the term "Laird" in my awareness, when the term for clan leader seems to be "Chief?" I did hear "laird" in passing on another post.
Where do the Breingans come from ?
To be honest the Glen coe event there were few Campbells actually at the event.
Thank you for your contribution!
Glencoe was not a result of a clan feud. There were 3 royal regiments sent by King James. And the order to those soldiers came from the king. And later when there was a backlash he deflected it on the Campbell family and by the way given the amount of intermarriage the idea of feud sits well usually in people who know so little that they do not know how much of what they are saying is nonsense
King James???
All MacDougall's, MacDonald's should read these: The Sea Kings, and The Kingdom of The Isles both by R. Andrew McDonald.2 great books on our progenitor Somhairlidh mhór mac Gillebride mhic Gilledomnán (Somerled) who reclaimed the whole of Argyll and the islands from Viking tyranny.
So my ancestor likely adopted my clan head's name? I'm told my clan leader is in Canada at least from what I looked up online if that is truly the leader.
A good history lesson but I’d be interested in the clan names of the Hebbrides. Okay
Hello, and thank you for your comment. The names of the Clans of the Hebrides are/ were (as far as I am aware) MacDonald, MacLeod, MacLean, MacKenzie, MacNeil, and MacKinnon. Hope that helps.
@@curiousaustriantours6962 and were direct descendants of King Niall of the nine hostages that's what our name McNeil means. And turns out we are also Viking....
@@djmcneil9573 niall of the nine hostages is not real. type in.......dna tests prove scots clan are viking not irish deadline news...........then type in.......origins-macniel and beyond|jeff macniel.............one american who actually knows his history.
@@djmcneil9573 lol..the mythical nial o the nine hostages. type in.......dna the macniel clan.....then type in......origins -mcneill and beyond jeff mcneill.......this is an american who actually knows some thing. niall of the nine hostages is a mythical tale.
@@djmcneil9573 the macneills are a scottish clan with origins in scandinavia. niall of the nine hostages is a mythical fairy tale.
Time to collect reparations from england
Careful you might end up paying yourself to somewhere like Jamaica as most of the plantation and Slave owners were Scottish. Hence Campbell being the most common name there as slaves took there masters name. Scotland was a massive part of the British empire and was really into slavery and plantations
Gle Mhath !
It is simply not true that there was ever a clan ' system' in Scotland, any more than there was, or is, a 'mafia' system. Indeed, a more accurate translation of the word clan is 'family'. The word mafia, I understand, means much the same in Italian. The reason the clans came to prominence was that the feudal system was never accepted in Scotland. Scotland never had a king in the English sense because nobody ever conquered Scotland, as William the Conqueror did in England, so very few people held their land courtesy of the king. Indeed, the king was never referred to as King of Scotland, but as King of the Scots, which has rather different connotations. To understand the clans it is best to view them as mafiosi gangs who were actually in ascendancy over central law and government in their own local area, under the charge of a hereditary gang chief usually.. . but not always, because, just like in the mafia, internecine warfare, treachery and usurpation was common. This was true of the King as well, insofar as very large numbers of Scottish kings were poisoned, had a knife slipped under their ribs, etc.etc, in much the same way as the Capo di Capi in the mafia seems to get it. Whatever form of governance that is, it cannot be described as a system of any sort. It is merely a country where the supremacy of gangsterism has been established... and I speak as a Scot.
I appreciate your comment, and your contribution as a native Scotsman.
So the current Royal family have not monopolised gang warfare?
Only clan members can wear clan tartans.
Gotta say, the voice quality *sucks* to the point that it keeps me from watching even half of the video. It's just that off putting/annoying.
I appreciate your opinion. - It's just like Marmite ...
Not so much explanation of the clan system as telling all so well-known stories of Glen Coe and Culloden, and all about tartans. Disappointed.
Appreciate your opinion.
It’s no pronounced ‘gay-lic’ that’s Irish. Scottish is pronounced ‘ga-lic’. Just so ye know mate😂
Oh, my dear! Thank you for your help! 😃
Correct but a bit pedantic
