The Ancient Origins Of Medieval Scotland's Most Feared Military Tactics | Warriors Way | Chronicle

We in the US would have never had a country if not for the brave Scottish ppl who fought their asses off. God bless Scotland and her brave men and women. Much love from Appalachia.

The modern scots could use some of that old warrior prowess and pride today.

I trace family history for a living, been doing it for more than 40 years, and I love these videos, filled with clues.

The Gallowglass the ancient Pictish Viking Scots most feared in Europe greetings from Norway ❤

That niether the Earl of Moray nor the Black Douglas were never mentioned in this was a shame , that we Scots were and are fearsome in battle and first class warriors is something we're born with . We carry the warrior gene , born of the nature of our land and history no matter where in the world we ended up ! 😊

Sometimes its hard to unravel mythology from history. Sometimes when trying to unravel mythology from history, you find the history more unbelievable than the mythology.

It was rare, but not unheard of, for a clansman to amputate his leg and attach a machine gun to the stump

PROUD OF MY SCOTTISH BLOOD.

The beginning song where it shows the beautiful overhead view of the landscape and castle is called Scottish Clan by Derek and Brandon Fiechter, such a good tune

We all know the main reasons for Scottish military success; faster moving infantry (starting in feudal age), faster firing siege, and 40% more hit points on the siege. The faster wood choppers definitely help set up a robust eco to support your army. And do not forget: "An army marches on its stomach..." so luckily your enemy shouldn't be able to steal any of your starting sheep

Greaqt video as always! I would love it if you guys made a playlist that has all your videos in chronological order, that way I can follow along with the history. For example, your first video is about Bloody Mary, and then later on there's a video about her Father and Stepmother. It would be nice to see the parents first and then the kids

I saw Fraser and I thought of undertaker in Dad's Army. It was said in 16th-17th centuries the English kept a portrait of William Wallace in their privies. I read that in a 18th century Chapbook.

I learned this year the my ancestors as far back as is recorded are Scottish. I too am proud of my Scottish heritage.

Proud of my Scottish/Pict/Viking Blood, My family came from Scotland, in the far North just before the Civil War and immediately signed up with 4 members, my Great Great Grandfather, and 3 of my Uncles of the same period, Lost my Grandfather at Shiloh, my uncles both Captains, one fought with a bullet in his neck through Shiloh and at Corinth was shot in the leg, Had to have it sawed off in two places at separate times to stop the gangrene and replaced with a wooden Peg from the knee down, then went on to fight through to the end of the war. Another Uncle called the poet of the Civil war in a book about them gave me a clear picture of how tough they were, even in their photos in uniforms they looked like they would fit even wounded. This was a good rendition of the history of Scotland and I fly the flag proudly in my house and yard. And yes I play the bag pipes and tossed the Caber in the Highland Games.

Excellent video!😊

Excellent Info

Consul Georgius: [looking beyond the wall] "I say, this is interesting! There appears to be a large orange hedge moving towards us!" Centurion Blaccadicus: "That's not a hedge, Consul. That's the Scots!" Blackadder, "Back & Forth"

looking through history, aside from harassing raids, the winner of major battles is almost always the defender that picks the battlefield and lets the opponent launch the attack. if we lived this way, never attacking, there would be far less war.

Great Job
