Broke my heart when they lost their Vote. I guess eventually they were Bred out. That was a goal in Prima Nupta.

I have the Wallace name, and had an uncle named William who we called Bill. Yes we’re Americans, and I thank you for enlightening me on the difference between being part of a clan, and having the name. My dad did a genealogy on the Wallace side, which led to family in Cambridge around 1272. However “our” Wallace family in America can be traced to Jamestown, Virginia in the 1630’s. So our side has been in America for very long time. I love history, and love how you present it in your videos. Thank you!

My father's first name was Wallace. I'm glad they didn't name me that, but I still grew to be a wally. I didn't know about the connection with Nobel but I used to like the smell of burnt cordite when I was in the army. A bit like that film buts that's napalm. I was in the artillery, so I've swallowed more than my share of gunsmoke. Have a good successful tour of Canada, Bruce.

Would really love to see you do a video on Clan MacTavish. They are one of the oldest clans and have a very interesting history including a 200 year dormancy and a recent revival. The Campbells of Argyll did their best to absorb them and even had the Crinan Canal built through their lands to cripple them after they fought in the '45 uprising

Thanks for sharing the many experiences of history that happen on the land. Land over there experiences far more than is recorded in history, and a lot is forgotten.

Can confirm this. My father grew up around Clyde bank before moving to Australia in the 60s, he told me we were part of clan douglas. I researched the clan and found a douglas branch was set up in Sweden when they chose to stay after receiving land and title from the sweedish crown for fighting in Poland. From there some Swedish clan members had spread out to serve in the Reich in Germany and even ended up in Russia as POW and serving Russia in Finland when it was under the Russian empire.

We're maybe a bit biased but this is a great look into the best area of Scotland 😁 Great video Bruce

My Snodgrass ancestors could be found in the Parish of Dreghorn about 1700. Several generations later, Niel's eyes were too weak to study law, so devoted himself to agriculture. "He enjoyed the acquaintance of the Earl of Eglington, who did much for the improvement of Ayrshire." A couple generations later, David Snodgrass inherited the Buchanans estate, but he promised to accept the Buchanan name, motto & crest. In 1747, John Snodgrass built a mansion (the carriage house is still standing) about 3 miles NE of Irvine. It would have been the most elegant mansion of the time. It occupies a considerable eminence on the lefthand bank of the Annick.

You taught us about more than Scottish history today, Bruce. I had no idea that Alfred Nobel would have a prize named after him because he figured out how better to blow shit up!😃 Seriously though, I find it very cool that those who live on Wallace land are still dedicated to fighting for the right causes! It's sad that we ever have to fight but humans, by nature, are predators, so it happens. May they all live long and well, always fighting the good fight! Thanks for a great video! Y'all take care now!😊

Greetings from Tasmania. Very interesting. I’d love to learn about Clan McLean. I’m visiting Mull in September in the hope of learning more.

Yup, Ive heard of the Tomahawk missiles. Thats so crazy...still involved in a battle. I never knew about the dynamite either.

In the Duke of Argyll census of his lands there are names that have vanished MacUolrie and variants on Tyree, try Googling that. Possibly these were Kennedy. Also Sinclair in Argyll appears to have replaced MacNokaird for some reason. Apart from making Ancestry research almost impossible past the early 18th century it would be interesting to know what triggered a mass name change and if it happened outside Argyll

Hey Bruce, just saw you for the second time in Musselburgh after the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022. Had a great time and enjoyed the night. Never got a chance to ask you but I wondered if you are planning on doing a Battle of Prestonpans/Preston/Gladsmuir - whatever you call it? I believe it would make for a very interesting video and I’m sure Dr Johnston would happily answer any questions. I volunteer at the museum which opened a year ago and we have a great little place that we are hoping more people will visit in the future. It’s such an underrated battle in the scope of Scottish history!

Interesting looks like your history of Scotland math referenced did what the wealthy Scottish caste system and the English couldn’t do; wiped the McGregors off the map. Great and informative video.👍

Hi Bruce Would you please consider an episode on my Houston ancestors They descended from Hugh de Pavinan and lived at Johnstone castle Renfrewshire Hugh was a Templar Knight Houstouns owned collieries and mills at Houston the town Some of the Houstouns went to Cypress They were active in the Presbyterian Reformation I am a great grand daughter

Well, my ancestors were from the Parke Clan who owned Parke Castle until the Parke Lord was castrated, drawn, and quartered then the rest of the clan were forced to work in slate mines. Then Robert Samson Park moved from Scotland with his 11 kids after his wife died (I'm assuming here uterus fell out) to Alabama in the U.S. in 1877 because of the coal mining and got remarried to a Cherokee woman.

I'm led to believe the original Royal Charter for Irvine was granted in 1152 but was lost with 99% of Scotland's ancient charters in a ship wreck off the north east coast of England in 1260 after gaining back independence from England and demanded the return of Scotland's ancient charters after being taken to London. The 1372 charter was a reinstatement of the original. Have you spoken to the Irvine Carter's Society? Im sure you'll know their the oldest carter society in the world going back a thousand years.
