Very good Alan!

Us Scottish-Americans will never forget our old homeland Scotland

What can a song belonging to a state which fought tooth and nail to keep slavery and which persecuted blacks and continues to do so ?? Why Would we want to associate ourselves with that ?

For me this song conjures up only pictures of rednecks in bed sheets and burning crosses !! Dixie ?? Not this call sign ...........EVER !! SAOR ALBA

Never have i looked at, and certainly never have i commented on any English videos here on youtube, but for some reason, no matter what the subject, here on youtube, if the video involves Scotland you will most certainly find bitter jealous English people doing whatever they can to sully the name of Scotland.

(give it a try, search Scottish in the term box and see for yourself,, it is almost a scientific phenomenon "

[ronnoten]

what a load of pish, colin powell is a crook. sean connery? he comes to scotland once a year and those politicians, dont make me laugh. Woodrow wilson is an embarrasment, dont be fooled by crap videos like this.

[Jinky1888]

@ronnoten No matter where you go on the interenet, no matter what videos or written articles that have even the smallest gratitude towards Scotland or Scottish people, you will find at least 10 English rats trying to slag off Scotland and the Scottish people.

[ronnoten]

@Jinky1888 Im scottish, and going by your name a fellow celtic supporter. Scotland is a great place, but im not fooled by the bullshit we have caused either. do you really believe scots wear kilts and always have? Its one big con. check what woodrow wilson signed in what would be a great advantage to the bankers, something we are still paying for till this day.

[Jinky1888]

@ronnoten What has Kilts got to do with anything i said?, did i even ever mention kilts?, no. The reason that you mentioned the romanticisation of the kilt by writers like Stevenston, is your silly little attempt at having a jab, and also a way of mesuring me by my response.

i think you will find i am pretty abundant.

Run along now you fake Scottish, Anglo-Saxon usurper.

Have a nice day

[ronnoten]

@Jinky1888 Any chance of taking your so called scottish head out your arse? I could lose you on scottish history, but thats just my opinion. your so scottish you use an american saying "have a nice day" in an attempt to dismiss me (lol) I never said you mentioned kilts, i did, when your head stops bullshiting itself, let me know.

[Jinky1888]

@ronnoten Thank you for proving my point ronnoten, anyone with the least amount of intelligence can see you for what you are, have a nice day

[TimeTravellersGirl]

"Scots stay a bit mute on the subject." Aye right, lol!

[vitaporst]

great video, but a shame that not even 3 people per day watch it.

[BrianDornTFP]

Wow, great production ... entertaining AND educational!

[Rossdhu16]

I love your video. There is a lot of truth, history and sentiment in it. I am proud of my Scottish Heritage. Yes, my clan fought in the American Revolution.

[peacefrog1916]

love it.

[AICXCNIKAO]

Hi Alan - great video my Celtic Brother. I understand the sense of pride. Well put together and informative. Glad you didn't leave the 'big yin' out (7:48)l ol. God Bless, Pax +

The Highland Clearances were tragic, soul destroying and vicious.

They should have left us where we were, we were harming no one.

in some daft way the Clearances killed the Highlands off, but gave the world so much greatness.

For a nation of only 5 million souls has any other of our size contributed so much by so few.

[nacho1560]

Wow, knew about the phone, the telly, the postage stamp (yes we Dundonians say Chalmers was first), antibiotics, cancer research, tarmacadam, raincoats, dunlop tyres, computer games, fitba, the Picts (freedom fighters), and these are just a few that flow off the tongue, etc., etc., etc.

Keep up the good work Alan, this is a fantastic channel. Every video 5 stars.

As that guy said, we're mute too often about what our country has achieved. Wha's like us indeed?

[craigowler]

Chalmers devised the lick & stick sticky stuff on the back.

[jamilynmallard]

This was beautiful, enlightning and touching! I am at a lost for words and walk away from this film as a well informed individual!! Thank you so much for sharing!! ;-) God bless!

[AyeWeCan]

Have you watched my "Obama is Scottish film" . Not so well made - just picture stills cut on my laptop - , but a good laugh and I hope the same point made in a different way.

These rednecks do need telling often that they are on te wrong side of history. And if we can get themi smiling and their feet tapping, who knows some might one day come around, join the party rather than spoil it

All the very best - keep in signing love your stuff

Alan

[AyeWeCan]

Hey sister - i am so glad you liked it - We could have done with your soul singing - these white girls did fine but,,,,

And i hope you got the message of the film: We are all linked up - well the good guys anyway - and more african- americans have some scottish blood in them than you might think - Roas Parkes to name but one, born Roas McCauley with a scottish grandad1 Maybe that where she got some of her courage from!

But Scottish ideas - imported, adapted, updated - are more important

[jamilynmallard]

Thanks a lot! I am glad you like the singing and I have been told of my Scottish blood that runs through my veins. God bless you and keep doing what you are doing! :-)

[craigowler]

Passed on - Alan
