  • An incredible story. Thanks so much for posting this. Some of my family went to Ireland because they were persecuted as Covenanters. Then they moved on to the United States. This documentary gives me an insight into what they went through back then. Wow.

  • @acerb45666555 I think it was more about getting rid of papal control over europe.

  • @gaiuskaiser Where'd you get that info from?

  • wariston (if that's how you spell his name) was a fanatic maniac on a par with Bin laden. A psychotic trouble-making son of a bitch

  • Testify!

  • @FrenchCalvinist: But the Battles of Dunbar and Culloden do not seem pretty successful to me, compared with the Battle of Bannockburn for the Scots; and so they were conquered by the English and have no not only to pay malt taxes but also have their oil stolen by the English; so they need Cardinal Richelieu to persecute the protestants and to get their country back in shape ere the English have stolen all the oil! While England could not even defend India against Gandhi!

  • @FireEyedMaidOfWar

    They were right to become Protestant, the Vatican enslaves all its subjects, look at the success of England & Scotland and their achievements as Protestant nations.

  • Its strange to me how old these counties are and so interbred with each other that they still see themselves as different from one another.

  • @PierreBayle1697: Sure, but out of all daughters of the Church the Scots should know of its infallibility! Since the Catholic clergy did chose Robert the Bruce; but as Adam and Eve the Scots are likewise punished by heaven for their transgression or maybe even worse as they were not expelled from their paradise but their paradise was transformed into their own private place of hell; and so they have pay malt taxes, are ruled by their foes and their oil is stolen and wasted on ridiculous excess.
