Celtic Spirit - theme from Braveheart - Culloden

[DracoDragon369]

Beautiful music, I happen to love this move. x3 I do not get all the racism though, I'm American, and I know our country is pretty idiotic. Being that we cause wars for the most stupid reasons and dropped atomic bombs on japanese CIVILIANS. However every country has don't something that was not bright, or moral in the slightest. Its our job to learn from the past and not let stupidity rise once more, that means getting along and accepting our countries history, not pointing fingers.

[NOVATICANWARS]

4 million "NOMINAL " protestants , and we want to break the UNION? either "WISHFUL" THINKIN OR "PORKIES" COMIN FAE SOMEWHERE!!

[NOVATICANWARS]

it was the BRITISH civil war , to decide wether a CATHOLIC or PROTESTANT KING would rule not an english v scots thing SCOTS protestants fought mostly on on side DITTO the catholics Some psuedo Scots"NAZIONALISTS" love to portray it as a scots v english .which obviously it wasnt .

[gaconnochie]

@NOVATICANWARS Historically incorrect though! Just because Jacobites were mostly Catholic in England and Ireland you can't suppose it was so in Scotland too. There weren't in fact that many Catholics in Scotland. So yes a few Lowlanders and some of the clans who came out were Catholics but in the rebellions the bulk of the Jacobites were Protestants. Mostly Episcopalians. That is Scottish Anglicans. They supported the Pretenders despite their Catholicism not because of it.

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall I remember being in a bar in melbourne and met a cockney who said he owned my country, I thought that yeah man I'm sure you do...he then proceeded to slag Scotland off rather like you and i couldnt have give a shit....eventually he hit a nerve, got a glasgae kiss and i got out the bar pronto, to this day i know his nose broke cause it crumpled under the collision and the amount of blood pissing out his nose...to this day he hates knows not to fuck with a Scot !

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall yeah but the point is i already knew that shit before pasting it. Dont bother trying to give me a history or Geography lesson sunshine. Not a part of your history, rubbish mate you know thats crap...to be honest mate get Building Hadrians wall and lets return to the old times cause the world created over that border is pish. Bonnie Scotland the only country to fuck over the romans and the prettiest place on this choked up shithole of an island.

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall Though the region was generally peaceful, the Scots invaded in 1322 and 1389, reaching Lancaster and damaging the castle.[10] The holdings of the Duchy of Lancaster extended beyond the county, and Lancaster itself was not especially important - a dump then and a dump now ! haha ! As for your english sluts yeah they love the Scottish cock !

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall Stephen secured his northern frontier by allowing David I of Scotland to occupy the Honour of Lancaster in 1141.[8] It is possible that David refortified Lancaster Castle at this time; due to a lack of investigation, there is little evidence to suggest additions to Lancaster in the mid-12th century. However, the uncertain construction date of the keep means that the King of Scotland could have been responsible for building it Get it right up ya !!!!

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall You shouldnt really comment on stuff you have no idea about. Scotland is really divided geographically and people wise, we've got a complex history which would be far to much for your brain, at one point we owned Lancashire you bitch !

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall 3 words...North Sea Oil...Where the fuck do you get that from ? About time you tory English cunts taxed that...to make your shitty country float...I couldnt give a fuck about the UK, GB I have never ever been apart of that shit, escpecially being from a Scottish Island where sharing an ideal with a cunt from an utter shit hole like Lancashire is Alien and bamboozling to me.:)

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall your only posting on this wall cause your country has lost its sense of recognition, no national identity, at least I have a national identity which i can relate too. My old boss in NZ was from Burnley and he was the biggest wanker ever...no matter what country. Here is a fact for you Scots get on better with Irish than English. Oh and dont get me started on the Gaels.

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall

Mate your the reason England is so bad...on holiday there's too many of you and most of you are drunk and arrogant apart from the exception of a few good decent people. In my opinion the worst ones are South of Brum where the accent pierces my ears so much that i cant stand what they say. simple. Oh and Oasis are Manc Irish and did have a Scot in there..Andy Bell.Good day.

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall Serva jugum pro liberata sassanach fucker

[muzzawelsh]

@saxonwall I aint got no part in being part of the army bellend, England/ and the US are the most hated nations on earth, like it or not. Maoris and Abo's ?? Fuck you prick I'm white ! I love it how you are trying to take the higher moral standing on this subject when you know sweet FA about it honestly. Grade A ignorant beller. ( English, no doubt!)

[ELMEREDUARDO1979]

Hermosoooo

[Rugby1989Scot]

Never be ashamed of your ancestors. Accept their legacy, or revile their deeds, but realise that their doings are irrefutable. Our fathers did what was right in their context. Alba gu brath.

I play pipes because I want to and for myself

[hylandcathedral]

@krautkiller1969 The English stole Our land, jus like the Yanks stole the lands from the Indians , its The English that are Tossers!

[eTranscendence]

@krautkiller1969 fuck off sock puppet. Enjoy your CCTV nightmare 1984 dystopia island you gigantic faggot. chip chip cherio, I've got scotland yard lookin threw mi waste bin.

[zeus21ish]

load of crap,(music is great) jocks fought jocks for power ,his mate (bruce)betrayed him for the scotish crown,we were all britons once until the romans turned up!, picts was the (means painted )name given to the English Southern tribes. Kent To Cornwall,we fought them first. the blue dye was an antiseptic against wounds. you lots lowlanders was a mix of english and scots.geat an history book! you betrayed you southern KIN!!!

[Kahnshapir]

maybe a descendant or maybe not; I'm in the process of tracking my ancestry. Got it back to 1850 in Glasgow.

BTW Queen Victoria made a great effort at reconciliation.

[CanadaNS]

Beautiful!!!

[eTranscendence]

Free Ireland Free Scotland, from the UK and the EU!!!

[hylandcathedral]

@eTranscendence Yes my friend i am from the Clan Morrison, i say "Freedom"! for our Land "Bonnie Scotland" , I just cant weight for Independace. Down wi the English Hun.

[hylandcathedral]

@eTranscendence To true my friend i just cant weight for Independance from The english Hun, they stole our land and raped our wimen,

[joexies]

so beatiful, it made me cry a tear

[muzzawelsh]

You claiming to be a descendant of Longshanks and Wallace ?

Thats like me claiming to be a descendant of the Aboriginies and Maoris...completely Impossible !!!

Still a shame on the Government army something that they`ve repeated in countries all over the World. This is why you are hated (as a nation) and might feel ashamed in places like Argentina yet the Scots loved

[trichoone]

@muzzawelsh Hi Muzza I,m not claiming anything i only put the video up that needs directing to someone else , thanks for taking the interest my friend .

[MrAlan101ify]

red coat red coats pricks

[hylandcathedral]

@MrAlan101ify yep! Longshank Wankers.

[Warriorsgee]

IT MAKES ME CRY I LOVE IT

[Rgarrett1988]

your related to both william wallce and edward longshanks, fuck off and don't insult my intelligence

[sifudancrawford]

me too, i am also a longshanks!

[sexyfrog]

i am confused with the title. who is the musician of this song?

[NeskaBean]

Don't be ashamed to be English.  I am descended directly from William Wallace and Marion Briadfute (whom they call "Murron" in the film) - they had a daughter together. But I am also descended from Edward Longshanks. How's that for some screwed-up DNA at war with itself?

[trichoone]

wow what a history .

[NeskaBean]

I love doing family trees for other people, too! Most of them are surprised at what they find waaay back there . . . . .

[stevenmcnulty1888]

Why talk shite?

[mojoganjamaster420]

@NeskaBean yah and I piss liquid gold and shit diamond nuggets

[Rugby1989Scot]

@NeskaBean r.e.s.p.e.c.t. Proof that genes are everthing and nothing. What you do in your life is everything.

[macsteed01]

@NeskaBean Did you get a DNA test done ? I wonder how the link works between Longshanks who actually died after Wallace and Wallaces heir 

[macsteed01]

Respond to this video... Have also been to Culloden. Had some hard feelings toward the English but when I heard how the Scottish general lead his fighters into a battle against a professional army on a boggy plain I felt bad for warriors who were betrayed.

[Kadaver30]

Im a dutchman and a shame for it.

Al bastards and faggots here.

Lucky i have some german blood!

[KasveLipiel09]

@Kadaver30 German Blood is always good! It's a pity that the nazi's have ruined the german blood, they were felons!

[fenrir14]

National socialists didn t destroy it , they pull it out of shame and rise us at the rank indo european people deserved to be.

American pigs destroyed it and doomed our people to slavery and blood extinction.

Stop spitting on "nazi" like the propaganda tell you to do... it s too easy nodoways...

[witchhunter32]

@fenrir14 ur very right mate nazism isnt bad however republicanism is the nazis made germans the equals of theother european countries

[zreidsnider]

and guess what they also did, they wiped out millions of people, there's no excuse to say, "oh but i didn't know"

[fenrir14]

@zreidsnider : haha , yeah americans never did that no. You may forget that you are the only country who threw 2 atomics bombs on 2 citys who killed 3 millions people, who killed more than 7 millions german and 60 000 french civil by bombing citys. You fucking soldiers did rape thousan of italian and french women during the war. And your saga continue with afghanistan and Irak for protecting your israelian couzin who are taking over Palestinian country.

[bafdnd]

@fenrir14 atomic bombs sorta stopped the japanese tho...didnt they?

[witchhunter32]

the holocaust u mean ?/ hahaha its so funny u beleive its true

[zreidsnider]

American pigs? screw you I'm American, and many more are becoming American everyday not because we are pigs, but because we are a country where you can share your opinions no matter what and you won't get your head chopped off for believing something. and stop spitting on Nazi? i'll spit on Nazi for the rest of my life and teach my kids the same, there is not one good thing the Nazis did that outweigh the horror they created

[fenrir14]

@zreidsnider : Your kids are gonna be fat asses with shits in their head listening their ignorent dad speaking bullshit or by watching stupid reallity shows on tv.

[HomegirlOfJezu]

I've not had a chance to learn much Scottish history so I was wondering if someone might explain Culloden to me?

[BillDFC]

Culloden was the last attempt by the Stuarts to regain the throne of Britain.

There is a book by John Prebble called Culloden which will explain the whole sorry tale.

[witchhunter32]

@HomegirlOfJezu lets just say it was a crushing defeat for the jacobite army who seeked to put the true king charles edward stuart on the throne of scotland . the men stood and received volley after volley of rifle and cannon fire until the order came to charge and in the following combat were outnumbered roughly 5 to 1

casualtys are assumed to be

jacobite:1457

government:298

[schizoidboy]

I heard that the Duke of Cumberland who won the battle didn't have much success in other battles. Then again he was up against Prince Charlie who didn't listen to his advisors who had more experience then he did. It was often said Charlie was very obstinate and hard to teach.

[Thirdshiftzombie]

Long live Scotland!!! Long life to my Scottish Brothers and Sisters!!!

[gerip99]

braveheart was filmed in wicklow that bein the republic of ireland!

[ausroc]

Each to his heart be true.Thanks for the tribute.

[pantelismythos]

im from greece...i love scotland and her history...i know about battles for freedom :) scotlands are brave heros like greeks!!! bloodbrothers!!!

[princeofseleuca1]

im from scotland i love the history of youre homeland

greece's leonidas stood for his homeland just like our william wallace

[roadend78]

we are not english we are scouse .

[freethinking7]

It wasn't an invasion. It was really a civil war. A significant part of the british force at culloden were scottish. Many protestant clans supported the government. It came down to whether britain was going to have a catholic or protestant king- that was what the fight was really about.

[JackyRowe]

protestantism didn't even exist at this time. it wasn't for another 100 years or so until some german dude called Martin Luther decided to nail his ideas of how the church should be run, as an act of protest, thus creating PROTESTANTISM

[LutzDerLurch]

Culodden was in the 1740s...

[gerip99]

oh you pissed of all the protestants by sayin that whoops! sure fuck them look what they did to the catholics, im from ireland and i dont like the prods!

[devinowensthegreat]

My Da is Scottish,Mother English,Granda is Irish...proud to be all!

[GRAFFDEMON]

Down with the red coats!

And tbh I dont hate all english people. Some of my family are english but I do love my country. But what english folk I dont like is the dumbarsed St. George following pricks that dont have any brains to save thier fuckin' hides that pick fights with us. Fuck em'

If that makes me racist then Im racist. Despite me having friends from many backgrounds.

Highlander till I die!

[bondie45]

Brilliant video set to very good music well done tric. P.S. never ever be afraid to be english,they did what they had to do ,as with all wars its a case of kill or be killed.

[trichoone]

thanks my friend there was a strange atmosphere when visiting the site , have you been ?

[METALLICAM4N]

england didnt have to invade Scotland the Highland Clans fought eachother it wasnt a case of kill or be killed at all it was greed arogance and 100% pure and utter dick to invade us

[Sweden401]

Scotland should be free from the dastardly English, after what the Brits have done to them in the past.

[mab158]

Scots deserved all they got for raiding Northern England and allying with the French against England.

Yeah, the English humbled them, sometimes brutally. But that's what larger countries do to neighbouring weaker countries. How about freeing Lapland from the dastardly Swedes?!

[Sweden401]

About brutality, you should read about Christian II of Denmark and about the Stockholm bloodbath. He murdered Swedes brutally.

[Sweden401]

If you have read history, then you also know that Edward I of England invaded Scotland in the late 13th century. Thanks to William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, he failed in this. Edward was also known for his brutality against "rebels" and people who fought for their freedom. I vote for a free Scotland. How about dissolving Great Britain?

[METALLICAM4N]

Dumb fuck you obviously dont know shit we were happy living up here why would we want to go down there? it was edward who wanted Scotland like all other leaders of england you invaded us i say you got what you deserved and when Scotland becomes independent england will wish they werent such dicks to us

[ceelatimerx3]

makes you proud ae be scottish lol :) x

[sergiesmax1]

What I see is a country that wants freedom.Proud to be scottish?yes.But not so proud of some of the people there.Our land needs respect but how can we respect our land when we dont respect our enimies.We must strech out the hand of friendship,take back what is ours Scotland!.Its time we stood up and to show we are proud to be scots.But first we need to cut away some of the rotten flesh,get rid of the back stabbers and regain our honour

[therlref]

I agree with you i see 4 countries that want freedom but i fear that non of them would survive long if they went their own way. But i dont see the other three countries as enemies.

[RoryGarbutt]

guys whats with all the racism. I play the bagpipes and love haggis i couldnt be anymore scottish but i dont hate england. U all talk about freedom which is a given right to everyone but how can expect to get anywhere in life if all you do is try to insult anyone. "if we dont believe in feedom of speech for who we hate we dont believe in it at all" I'm not having a go at anyone here but just think about it.

[VikingLawyer]

@RoryGarbutt well said

[Ps3master100]

i love scotland , i love my country

[rien05]

In every culture there is something in their history that may not be pleasant, but that does not mean you cannot be proud of your heritage. We have to take the good and the bad.

[Eqquinoxx]

i see HATERS O_o

[remedy63]

Not free from british rule like many scots want these days.

The UK is crumbling mmmuuuuuhahahahaha lol

[carriemoemoe]

Who cares about history when you are listening to such fantastic music.

Thank you so much for uploading.

[trichoone]

you are welcome , unfortunately we can't change History only try to learn from our mistakes but doubt we ever will -trichoone .

[freeespeed]

Let's free ALL the world from England

[therlref]

England is the world

[remedy63]

Free Scotland

Free Ireland

The way it should always have been

[rockinbillyboy]

Hey Remedy, Don't you mean Free Northern Ireland, me old china?

Wait a minute,...what am i saying?..Northern Ireland is free!!!...we need the rest of Ireland freed from the Irish, and back into the hands of the British, where it belongs...LOL

Sorry trichoone ., for lowering the tone, i love this tune mate, thanks for uploading it.

[therlref]

If i had my way you would be free, your no use to anyone any way, what could you give the world except Haggis and Guinness.

England for ever we must be superior Wales has given up you lot are beaten but dont know it yet, just follow the Welsh

[remedy63]

Your an ignorant prick you obviously know nothing of Irish history. There have been many great inventions brought into the world by Irish people. Some of the greatest artists and poets the world has ever seen are Irish. People all over the world can PROUDLY trace their heritage back to Ireland. Cant say the same for england hahahahaha

[therlref]

Now now there is no need for name calling, the Irish have indeed produced some of the greatest artist and poets in history but unlike you i would not be so quick to pour scorn on any other country's heritage, you must be very insecure indeed. Regarding the email your right about the UK crumbling we have a scottish prime minister what do you expect.

[remedy63]

Im from northern Ireland we are very protective of our heritage. We have had to be with the brits breathing down our necks for the last 800 years lol Irish Pride.

[therlref]

I commend you for rightly being proud of being from Ireland, i to am proud of being English and i am certainly not british, i also believe as you do that every nation should be free to govern themselves, yes even the English.

[remedy63]

Well the english will be the last to gain independence but thats as it should be.

[therlref]

Your right of course and will remain so until we get a government that is for the English people.The shower in power now are so scared of upsetting the minorities because they want to look as if they really care.

[dmx1910]

i wouldnt go about talking bad about other peoples heritage seeing that you are so proud of yours what makes you think their not of theirs

[remedy63]

If you read back youl see how this began.

[crusadermarcus]

@remedy63 if they were both free they will fight each other and the one that wins will fight britain be real about this >.>

[garrax01]

free scotland free ireland from ENGLAND

[julesmoody]

[remedy63]

Free Scotland

Free Ireland

The way it should always have been

[julesmoody]

yes then maybe England will be free too

[remedy63]

England free??? lol so britain carves a bloody path through history, raping other people of their culture and land. Murdering and oppressing with their imperialistic, fascist regime. Then when they get beat back from the four corners of the earth they decide they want to "be free" Your fuckn laughable lol

[oOCaillechOo]

Lol. I agree.

FREE WALES, SCOTLAND AND IRALAND FROM ENGLAND.

[Medeasbiggestfan]

I'm Welsh and Wales is free. We're equal members of the United Kingdom. You wouldn't say 'Free Idaho', why say free Wales?

[ratmaaan]

At Culloden the Highlanders were massacred by Campbell militia, hired by the English.

A generation later the Highland Lairds evicted their tenants to make way for English sheepwalks.

Scots are proof against anything, except an English pound.

[BlessedThistle]

Then of course there was the Countess Sutherland who bought land then drove the tenants from it. My family was one of those driven away.

[GoogleJC]

Nice :-)

[JAKWIK]

what about the karin in burma that that helped the british was promised a homeland but was betrayed

[tearlach45]

Rememerance of Scottish heroes with Irish music :)

[Brough1111]

Keep those Campbells out of our whiskey and

snuff! the McRays

[witchhunter32]

campbells r wankers and worsse r redcoats

[CelticRose1967]

Love reading over these comments regarding your video. I am the Campbell Castle. I like Shatrev's comment of Hollywood being infamous for rewriting history.

[trichoone]

thanks for watching the vid celticRose , Culloden is a place of intense atmosphere to visit well it was for me anyway .

[martialpiper]

I'd like to comment on shaytrevs entry - The Campbells and Munros didn't fight against the "Scots" they were Hanoverian and fought with the government against the Jacobites. The rivalry between the clans was a separate issue and lay behind the choice they made - not that I wish to defend them. However that didn't stop the redcoats burning and starving them out too... just the same as the fate of the Indian Scouts who helped the Americans - used and dropped to suit the government of the day.

[CHUNKYJACOBITE]

why do people keep mentioning scots and english, i blame the eduction of history in this country. bannockburn, stirling bridge, now that was english v scotland.. but the jacobites were fighting the hanovarians at culloden. it involved french, irish, scots, and english. the aftermath was genecide..

[martialpiper]

There are interesting comments on this site on the nature of the Highland / Lowland / English divide. It's true, it was mainly Lowland Scots who destroyed the Highland way of life in conjunction with the British Government, all of which was controlled and driven by centuries old English attempts to control Scotland. The fate of the Gaels is very similiar to what happened to the Native Americans - misunderstood, feared by all and ruthlessly crushed. Even Hanoverian clans were finally eradicated.

[trichoone]

yes thanks for your comment when you look back in history there was some terrible things done and we should be ashamed of our ancestors actions unfortunately it is still happening in parts of the world now do we ever learn -trichoone .

[bluegoos23]

Just an aside for u Scots. Saw an interview of an old WW2 German soldier who fought on all fronts. When asked which nationality he feared fighting the most - his answer was without a doubt the Scots. Have remembered that since some dont know that Scotland gave much in that war too.

[chum121]

Yes bluegoose they were named by the ww1 German army as the ladies from hell (because of the kilt and the way they fought) and proportionately more Scots give their lives in any war the British army is in than any other British nation.

[watchstrap1]

as with all wars its the civilians that feel the brunt 650,000 in iraq so far

[shaytrev]

Hollywood has a habit of rewriting history.The Campbells and Munro's fought against the Scots,don't forget the religious aspect too.This was not just Scotland versus England.

[trichoone]

good point thanks for your comment .

[bluegoos23]

Hollywood is infamous for rewriting history.

[philipsmovies]

A very moving video,thanks trichoone.

[trichoone]

Thankyou Phil , have you ever visited the site of the battle it is a very moving experience .

[philipsmovies]

Never visited the site but might be interested, is it in Scotland? I live a few hours from Flodden Field i think!

[dercarsus]

Lets hope,.. we can only learn from the past, great video thank you..

[trichoone]

agreed.

[trichoone]

hi flaskback the battle of culloden was in 1746 and the last battle to be fought on British soil the worst thing about it was after the battle the English army went on to slaughter inocent men women and children .

[Talbot6832]

Dumb ignorant prick. God I hate you fuckers that do barely any reading around the subject and simply assume. Most of soldiers that went on to eradicate the Highland way of life after Culloden WERE SCOTS. Thats right SCOTS! So stop fishing out the blame on the English just because you have a chip on your shoulder. God I wish people would just die!

[trichoone]

well I wouldn't go as far as saying MOST but i agree there were Scots who had sided with the English and were lead by them but this doesent escuse the actions taken does it . and thanks for taking the time to add your opinion -trichoone .

[tazdog123]

scots on the gvt side wer very reluctant to carry out some of their orders in the aftrmath, they were only on tht side because if they didnt their chief wud leave em homeless, no family etc.same was true for the jacobite clan members. many other scots fot on both sides as well as irish and some english sided with jacbites. to say tht gvt army during and after culloden was mostly scots,that is bull. scots landowners shoved final nail in coffin during the highland clearances 20 yrs ltr

[trichoone]

thanks tazdog that sounds more like the events that i read about another terrible time in history - trichoone .

[zrnie]

I like this music,yes war is bad.

excellent video-trichoone.

[trichoone]

thanks My Friend.

[flashbackfoley]

great vid..and dont feel ashamed..after all im from america..im the one that ashamed..its seems we never stop...but any war is bad..we our here for such a short time..people need to luv.....when was the battle of culloden..
