They tried to kill off the Gael, they tried to plant our land with Lowland Scots, they tried to ban our language, but we will never, ever give in. Erin agus Alba gu brath.
So interesting roaming around with someone discovering their ancenstry. I'm American of a mixed heritage but I know mostly my Irish, English, Scottish and Welsh history and I always wind up feeling conflicted over all the atrocities and abuse that went around since I'm descended from all of them. Strange to feel both pride and a bit of shame at the same time about that same heritage. Gotta be said though, it's mostly pride! ;-)
Mull looks almost exactly like my home country: The Faroe Islands. But they are both part of the Caledonian folding (or how it's called in English), and made from basalt, so it's probably not that strange... hehe :)
When he is walking up the hill I can't help but think about Barty Crouch Jr at the Quidditch World Cup, just the way he walks. And I think he kept the coat! "Bring TARDIS!"
Imagine , invading someone elses homeland , stealing his land...making him a slave upon it , and then trying to destroy his native language by force and violence !!!
David does really look like his mum but his dad has sideburns like him hehe. One of the best things about David is is hair. This is brilliant and such an emotional journey to go on.
Im english but i do have scottish family that live up in inverness i went to visit them not that long ago and you are just amazed at how much space there is that isnt used!
Not many Scots on this programme, or on the BBC in general. Largely, we're banned - along with our Scottish accents, David Tennant having to play Doctor Who as an Englishman.
the Scots are not banned just a bit in the shadow, there are enough people who like the Scots ( i'm one of them ) just wait until you get out of it ; )
this is a really sad episode i guess its always a bit emotional digging up your history and seeing how much your family gave up for us to be here, he's lucky, i can't do that very far because they didn't like to keep slave records in alabama.
I think that that's what he meant when he said God bless Ireland and the protestant clergy. They were protestant therefore they were linked to the protestant clergy.
The beard is what he sports in the movie "Recovery"; David did this during a break in filming. It's at the begining of this episode, you see it being trimmed 4 the movie.
Anyway, I reckon he grew the beard out to get away from the side-burns LOL! He didn't have a long enough break from DR WHO to shave it all off when this was done.
I would love to do this for my own family history! What a great experience for David! Have to travel a long way from Colorado to Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and France to see where my family came from! Well, good excuse for a few holidays!
I can imagine David Tennant looking like his dad when he's that age. He sounds the same and the sideburns are identical. Lol
