[14generationSCOT]

I am a Wallace tracing back to William Wallace (the schoolmaster of Stirling, not Braveheart), but I also have Douglas ancestry 14 generations back. This song has an incredible power to move me. Everyone with Scottish ancestry owes the Black Douglas a debt for his role in the fight for freedom.

[bigbuffler]

Ah'm a Dougla me'se'--brings tears to me eyes!!!!

[jmparkhill]

I too am descended from Douglas Ancestry and De Brus also

[Insperato62]

The Bruce certainly had single minded determination (in common with other Normans) - he could smell the prize of a Throne.

[Stvmulligan]

I am from the Douglas clan..time to rise



[ScotsLyon]

The "Guid Sir James" and "The Bruce" The two best Scots ever.

If I could go back in time and meet anyone i wanted it would be these two.

Their single minded determination and the deeds they done to ensure independence where just incredible.

Aye did seem to end quickly perhaps the wee nyaff had ran out of curse words or maybe his mum took the computer off him

[MrNikodemus2]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon Unlike you, I'm not stupid enough to publish personal details on the internet. What a dope! But don't worry, I know your name and roughly where you are. I'll be able to find you from that. You'll know me well enough when you see me. And I'll know you - you'll be the pasty-faced wee nyaff in the cheap shell suit.

This much I will tell you; I'm only minutes away. We'll chat soon.

@SaorAlbaComingSoon Whifflets? That little shithole! Just tell me where and when you go to sign on.

And don't be too sure about the "wee" bit - unless you think 6' 3'' and 16+ stones is wee.

@SaorAlbaComingSoon

So give us your name and address then, you embarassing litle toad.

But before you do - know that I am a Scot, living in Scotland, with an ancestor who fought beside Bruce at Bannockburn and signed The Declaration of Arbroath - and I might just come and get you.

Scotland can do without little, mean, small minded people like you. I don't even know why I waste the time replying to the likes of you except that you shame every true Scot, and Scotland, by your very existence.

[Roddy1873]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon Tell me you are kidding me on? When did the Western Isles of Scotland become part of Canada? As for your other erudite comments- good for you- brave fella behind a keyboard.
