scottish soldiers are one of the bravest and best within the united kingdom this can be seen with the conflicts that they have fought in!!
if scotland decides to break away from the united kingdom that is their decision but it would be a shame to see the scottish army regiments be disbanded which will see the history lost to books!!
Ruined by that ridiculous statement at the end. Scots Army's proudest achievements including most of those within the video were as part of the British Army.
im proud to be scottish, im scottish through and through but when i join the forces im nt gonna b fighting for scotland ill b fighting for the united kingdom nd im proud of it
@gingerrfc1 the what does that mean for all the scots who have died through out the years to figh for scottish freedoom ? SCOTLAND IS SCOTLAND SCOTTISH IS SCOTTISH IRELAND IS IRELAND WALES IS WALES FREEDOM IS A GOD GIVING RITE HW CN U BE FREE WHEN U CNT EVEN SAY UR SCOTTISH ON A BIT OF PAPER SNLA SCOTTISH NATIONAL LIBERATION ARMY AND UP THA RA
@wifday shut up you nationalist little prick, go to fucking ireland if you want "freedom"... and live in a shitty small country with no global influence whatsoever. Be a minority you lonely bastard.
Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland = Britan forever! God save the queen and the union! Fuck the nationalists who want to be alone.
@codnationdotnet fuk the union scotland has more money separated from england than it dose unitd with them i am scottish forever not british scotish and proud fuk england and the union and fuk u wee will get our fredom from those english basterds and wen we do i hope u die
there's nothing wrong about Scots being proud of their military personnel but since 1707 all Scots soldiers are British soldiers..all part of the proud British Army.
So far from their own homelands they have no culture. Not real culture. Just the bastardized rites of Anglo-Norman conquerors who came after and German kings who came later still.
The English are to be pitied.
Look to Cymru to Alba. To anywhere but but London.
@GwaiiEagle1 Don't pity me Scottish people, come and work for me. My Scottish staff are some of the hardest workers I've got. Just make sure to leave the pseudo-history at the door. I'll make it easy for you. Rich land owning class = Norman Most of everyone else is either Anglo-Saxon (mostly in the South) or believe it or not Celt. And just as in Scotland the best English people are the ones who have a nice variety of genetic backgrounds (the more the better).
It was first released by Andy Stewart in 1960. It wasnt for any particular war, how ever this was not long after Korea, Malaya, Suez, and within a year Borneo.
You are correct. He heard the tune and put it to pipes and iit was called Green Hills, but it was years later that Andy Stewart put words to it and it was known from then on as Scottish Soldier
My ancestors were from Scotland, named Samples, they came to Virgina (now USA) and lived in a place they called "highland county", any info would be apreciated, thanks.
Welcome to Highland County, often referred to as "Virginia's Switzerland". This land of high mountain valleys, sheep and cattle grazing farms and vast woodlands is known for its pristine scenic beauty and rural charm. It is one of the least populated counties in the east and boasts one of the highest mean elevations of any county east of the Mississippi River. Originally settled by Scotch/Irish highlanders and German immigrants,
Labour decided to lie to the Scots Telling them the oil would run out during the 198O's and they've been lying ever since this information was gained by Jim Mather through Freedom Of Information in 2005 Alf Young is still at the herald pulling the strings or should that be making up lies
Alf Young now a major contributor was a Labour party research officer in the 70's at the time of the SNP's "It's Scotland's Oil" campaign Alf asked the Westminster Labour government for ammunition to confront the SNP. Civil servants were used illegally to furnish the ammo. Labour commissioned a report from economist McCrone HE TOLD THEM Scotland would end up as rich as Switzerland.
Good sum up there K100RS. I can't see Labour being trusted again in Scotland for a long time. Not while we are still in the union anyway. They'll never be trusted as long as they put the UK interest ahead of Scottish interest. Their only chance of getting back into power in Scotland is in an independent Scotland.
Learn to spell laddie, maybe you should go back to your posh school, in posh Edinburgh didnt they learn you to spell ? as it doesnt look like it to me :-0 The Kingdom Eh Fife, as for Glasgow ye it does get more publicity than Edinburgh so hows that then eh Laddie lol
As Ive Said The Best Thing About Edin Is When We Are Back over the Brig + into The Kingdom Of Fife, as for attention yes Edin Capital for "AIDS" Unfriendly toff's city, Glasgow somehow seems to get most attention though.
Every one knows Edinburgh is the Unfriendliest city in Scotland lad,Tourists go as its the capital + has plenty History they dont know like the Scots that its unfriendly until they visit, i myself tell tourists to head a bit further North.
Apart from Edinburgh i agree with so much History it has, but it's the most unfriendliest place in Scotland. Where i stay they say best thing about Edinburgh is when you are fuckin on the train coming back over the Rail Bridge home.
Both Glasgow + Edinburgh are full of Aids, Queers, junkys, wino's, the real Scotland is outwith these places but have to say Edinburgh has plenty History but Glasgow has none what so ever apart from giving Scotland a bad name Knife crime of Europe.
Am not fae Glasgow Laddie or Edinburgh, but goes tae show you know nout about the History of your own country as i said you r 2 young, Glasgow aint called the Kingdom you didnt even know where the Kingdom is about LOL Learn a bit of scots History afore ye make more of a cunt eh yersel boy.
Just seen yer daft coupon ya numpty where was yer necklace to go with yer ear ring ya pansy we cunt,you are lost in the days of William Wallace etc Scotland as a Scot couldnt really go alone boy, also u r to young to get a say, once you have lived a little then come back pup, until then stay in yer pansy capital city, the GAY CAPITAL OF SCOTLAND. Fae the Kingdom.
has made us better prepared to force them out today, when they removed power form the clans, do not get me wrong I wish the clan system had survived, but it forced us to not think of ourselves as Gordons, or Campbells, or Stuarts, but to think of ourselves as Scotsmen and gave us the ability to present a united front. Now our problem is what kind of gov't do we want we do not need to worry about that until we have a free country to govern.
Scotland Govern itself lol as a Scot i dont think so, also do u want to pay £4 for a pint i doubt so LMFAO at u all talking s-hte. Away in blaw yer bagpipes laddies, and grow up.
Oh the Truth Hurts Boy eh, Sorry for being honest of my opinion lol, You boy r stuck in History william wallace times, smell the coffee + wake up boy LMAO.
You can keep your opinion have you lived in a box for the better part of your life? look around on the internet,at a games, at a blooming pub! there are people who want Scotland for Scots. I will not trade on tyrant in London for another in Brussels( we should send Mr. Salmond over there to live since he is so eager to kiss their boots)I pitty the fool that rys to make me.
The British Establishment are the sinners. They are the enemy of all decent Scots, Irish, English & Welsh. I am from Yorkshire. In WW1 because the Royal Army believed the northen English were tougher fighters than the southern English during the battle of the Somme, they sent ALL the Bradford & Leeds "Pals" to the front. In my city of Bradford, an average of 1 man for every street in the city was killed in that battle alone.Let us all be free from Westminster, the Establishment & rule ourselves
