I enjoy the images you put up. But be careful. The macaroni pie is fake. It’s a hoax. You do your channel no favours putting up such obvious hoaxes.😊
It took 1000 of the strongest trained Haggis to drag that pie to where the photo was taken, they are just out of frame drinking whiskey from troughs as a reward for a hard day of work.

lovely pictures. my great grandfather was crushed to death by a giant piece of macaroni falling from that pie. he died a hero
My great grandfather helped to bake the giant macaroni pie. His name was Tony Mac Aronie. His name lives on in a chain of Italian restaurants in Scotland called Tony Macaroni.

I've spoken to folk whose Grandads remembered it well. Not many left now of course being 130 years ago. Apparently it took half the Masons in Glasgow to build the ovens required to fire that thing. Had to be built next to the Shipyards to ahev access to the equpment needed! 😉
The picture of the Mather family in Dundee, with their musical instruments, brings back memories. They owned the Temperance Hotel opposite the railway station, now the Malmaison. They built a holiday home further up the coast at Easthaven to get away from the city in the summer and I lived there for a number of years after buying and renovating it. The head of the family never got to enjoy it as he died there, reportedly on the first night he stayed there. 😢
That was excellent from Glasgow Bonnie Scotland 🙂👍..

Great job with these pictures, looks amazing. What they are doing with the new buildings is just outrageous and unacceptable. There are ways and a ways to build new buildings, surely destroying the identity of a land covering every single empty space with prison-looking squares - altogether replacing old building with them - is not a way. Respect the architecture and the history of Scotland and stop this obscenity.

The fancy buildings were fancy because of the plundering British empire. Empire gone by 1947, hence less plunder and crappy architecture.

Really interesting and great photos. The two Sergeants are indeed from the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders (The Royal Regiment of Scotland is a recent creation - although the 42nd (Black Watch) were known as the Royal Highlanders). The 93rd were the origin of the term Thin Red Line at the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War (or to be strictly correct Times War Correspondent W.H. Russell wrote "a thin red streak tipped with a line of steel). The two Men in Kilts, Glasgow 1928 are Privates in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (after the 1881 merger of the two Regiments) and are wearing the Regiment's 'Swinging Six' sporrans. Five of the six Highland Regiments each had their own pattern sporrans and the other, the Highland Light Infantry (in which actor David Nivan was a pre-WW2 2nd Lieutenant) wore trews.
Brilliant. Great to see this looking so good. 👍

Thing is, it still looks somewhat similar today :) Especially when many of those old pics were staged in what already would've been seen as traditional dress or special occasion dress at the time anyway and we've kept that looking similar. Good to know we do take better care of our buildings now, even though we flattened a lot of them...
What's interesting is seeing some places in Scotland never change, whilst some change drastically and others do a weird slight deviation before modern developments try to restore their older look again.
Lovely old pictures. Great job. At 4:09 that view is labelled as the high street Edinburgh but I think it is the Grass Market facing noth west. The wide pavement is the giveaway.

Because Scotland was taken over by England and all of it's land was given to English nobles, that is our history. Nobody Scottish owns any of Scotland. Also, the name Sutherland is an English name, not an old Scots one. The clue is in the name - Suth (South) erland. Look at their faces. Do they look like Scots features to you?
There's something about the touristification of Scotland today which i deeply despise. It is wonderful to see Scotland alone, as it was, with Scots people just living their lives 💙

12:00 - I’m from here, the Curling Club still exists and people still do curling here albeit not on the loch unless it does freeze over which hasn’t happened in years and years. A friend I went to school with did curling. Also Loch is our word for lake, so you’ve basically put lake twice. I thought it was common knowledge that loch means lake.
Stunning pics from a beautiful Country. P.S. Please change 'Lake Loch Leven' to just 'Loch Leven'. Loch is the Scottish word for lake, no need to say lake first as it means the same thing. Thanks.
Just goes to show how badly Glasgow has been decimated over the years. So much of the beautiful architecture shown in your photographs, now sadly gone forever.
