    I like Rough Castle near Falkirk very much, now a lovely, peaceful place and good for a picnic. I wonder whether Robert the Bruce ever visited and maybe got the idea from the Romans of digging the defensive pits he used so successfully against the English heavy cavalry in the battle of Bannockburn.

    A nice overview, enjoyed the point about the Canmore database being Roy's most recent descendant, thanks for sharing. The image of the car from the 1905 rally (~4:30) is taken from the corner of Barrland St looking east along Maxwell Rd toward St Andrew's Cross/Eglinton Toll on the south side of Glasgow, all pictured tenements, happily, still extant.

    You know everyone defines these things differently. I grew up in the Mohave Desert, I was born in Inland Empire, my parents were born in LA, but my dad grew up in old Mobile, an Alabama town which borders the Mexican gulf, before moving back. None of their parents or grandparents are from California, they came from Mobile, Chicago/St. Louis, Ohio, and Oklahoma Indian Nations before heading to California in 1940-1960. So none of the American settlers of the westward expansion between 1800-1900 are my ancestors. We're as new to California as immigrants who arrived between 1940-1960. But that's where we're born, everyone we're descendant of came from the other side of America entirely 2000 miles away and then from other places also the before that.

    I didn't think the poem sounded disrespectful at all. He was describing a woman's attributes. To have shining black skin and huge lips, to have the night (as opposed to the day) fight for you sounds like any other sonnet of the time to me.

    • @HistoricEnvironmentScotland
      @HistoricEnvironmentScotland 3 місяці тому

      Hi there, thanks for your comment. Sadly, this poem is undeniably racist. The first verse, which we didn't include in this video, refers to her as having skin like a toad and a nose like a cat. Combined with the repeated and blatant sexualisation of the subject, this is unfortunately a very racist poem. You can read more in depth about its content and context here: medievalkarl.com/general-culture/dehumanization-animality-and-honor-on-william-dunbars-racist-satire-2/ There is some more background to this video over on our blog (blog.historicenvironment.scot/2019/10/moorish-lassies/) and in this study of the written evidence and historical background relating to Edinburgh Castle in the medieval period www.historicenvironment.scot/archives-and-research/publications/publication/?publicationId=41613211-710f-4197-a087-aae700b49d71&_gl=1*1s59cmt*_ga*MTY0Njk0NzU2OS4xNjcxMTg4MDA4*_ga_LFVMXMFPCX*MTcxMTM2NjEyOS40MzUuMS4xNzExMzY2MzQyLjU5LjAuMA..

    I'm an English Romany gypsy but my grandmother was a Young from the border of England and Scotland. The discrimination has never gone away. My father still lives by the side of the road in a caravan and told me only a few years ago that barely a week goes by without someone driving by and shouting abuse out of their car at him. He's in his late 60s now. Imagine that your whole life.

      You mean reservation! Because that's all those sites are. It's disgusting the way they have stopped people camping up and down. There's a place near Appleby, People have camped for hundreds and hundreds of years, and now the council have dug it up and made it a ditch. I left England and bought my own land in Ireland last year. It's not possible to live the way our ancestors did anymore.

    Long time member of Historic Environment Scotland. Although I don't live in Scotland, I am a frequent visit; my only child, her husband and babies live there. We love visiting Edinburgh Castle during the winter season for the lights. And every spring, they go to Linthigow for the jousting and associated fun. Craigmullar is another favorite. So grateful for all you do to preserve Scotland's glorious history.

    That was really interesting. How does the team handle repairs when they're necessary? Do you have to find or re-create materials, for instance mortar, that closely match the originals? Do you have specialist craftsmen and women on hand who can backward engineer the building techniques used from different eras, so that repairs are sympathetic, durable and, as far as it's possible to predict, not likely to have any unintended impact on the structures being repaired?
