Of course as an Irishman (with strong Scottish ancestry) I can tell you that St Patrick is a myth with no foundation in fact. In reality he never existed. He was first invented for political reasons in the 7th century - two hundred years after he was supposed to have existed. The global brand has also been maintained for political reasons.

I was transported to our nieces and nephews weddings and our small son in his kilt. When we were his age kilts were rarely worn at weddings in Ayrshire and Glasgow. We were wedding photographers for a while in Glasgow and never saw a kilt. Different in the Highlands and Islands of course. Very much enjoyed the story. Always wondered what the Kessock Bridge was named for. Haven't noticed it anywhere else. Thank you x

😂Dude, if you're from the USA your heritage would actually be American. Heritage relates to the word inherit and inheritance and typically refers to what one acquires from birth or when a certain age of maturity is reached, so for example, if you are from the USA, you inherit American citizenship by default and this is protected and emphasised in the American constitution that it cannot be taken or given away by you, it's also why you must be natively American born in order to run for the presidency of the USA etc.

My surname McClelland means son of the servant of saint fillan. I’ve done a y dna test and my matches came up with people called Bell and McLellans with a common ancestor a thousand years ago. The theory in the McClelland project is that my family are linked to the Bell, maybe it’s protectors or something to that effect.

Bruce- with all due respect, was not St. Ninian and the church he established at Whithorn in Galloway in 397 A.D. the founder of Christianity in Scotland? It may have been the Latin church,and he was a Briton,but he converted the Southern Picts for a time. Monks served continuously at Whithorn until the 1600's.The church of Kirkmadrine near Sandhead on the Rhinns of Galloway has the burial stones of Latin priests or bishops dated to as early as 400 A.D.Thanks for your great videos.A McDowell of Freugh descendant, J.R.S.,Jr.,Esq., Alabama, U.S.A.

@@ScotlandHistoryTours interestingly in India where my father was from, and he was raised Catholic, Saint Thomas the Apostle is mostly avoided by non Indian Christians. Even though India has records about him, even the streets he lived on. Could it be that descriptions of him say he was indistinguishable from an Indian man in looks?

I’d love to know why the Scots have a patron saint - Andrew - from the Middle East with no connection with Scotland. He’d probably never even heard of Scotland (or whatever it was called in the 1st century AD). It all seems a bit strange when you reflect on how many worthy saints with close Scottish connections didn’t get the job. Of course the same goes for England & Ireland. Only Wales has a native born saint.

According to the Irish chronicles of the king's, the Picts arrived in Eire by sea to escape Roman incursion into their homeland. The Irish royalty were somewhat afeert o' these strange ta'kin folk and telt them o' an empty land across the watter that might suit their settlement. The Picts then crossed the sea to settle the northern Highlands of Caledonia. Their tongue may have been a form of Celtic, but the branch is not known. Strangely some of the surviving Pictish place names appear to be similar to Ukrainian place names. Just saying...🤔

@@ScotlandHistoryTours I'm thinking, your guy hailed from the celtic church and Rome did it's best to undermine the celtic church's influence at every turn. Wouldn't it be convenient if Rome came up with an alternative patron saint as its influence grew?
