Me too! Scotland has produced more groundbreaking, world-changing inventions per capita than any other country. Might be something to do with Scotland's dedication to learning - which is something this video didn't really bring out. Scotland had compulsory schooling before the rest of the UK, schools in almost every village, and a well organised school system before that. People had to be smart and independent to thrive in Scotland: they couldn't wait for other people to invent things - they did it themselves!! One of my ancestors was a schoolmaster in the remote Highlands and Orkney - he taught English, Latin, Greek, geography, history, maths, science and much more to crofters' children. There's been at least one teacher in each of the 8 generations descended from him. From his name and clan, we know he was descended from Norse people and Picts. Oh, did anyone notice that the video also left out PORAGE?!! A heinous oversight! A Scot would never have done that! (My ancestry.com results show that I've 93% porage DNA! I was made in Aberdeen though I'm pretty sure there was no granite involved.) And he got Hebrides right but made a midden of quite a few other names. Alnwick is pronounced Annick, he did something weird with Farquhar and Loch Shiel...

I'm an Aberdonian and quite proud of my city ( you sorta have to be lol ) . A few things of note , as mentioned in the video about the granite before cheap package holidays Aberdeen was a major holiday destination for many Scots and was known as the Silver City by the sea . Rubislaw quarry now mostly filled with water used to be the deepest man made hole in Europe abandoned after it became more costly to pump the water out than the granite was worth , the facade of the Paris Opera House is Aberdeen granite also Marischal Collage ( Formerly part of Aberdeen University now the local council headquarters ) is the second largest granite building in the world after the Alhambra Palace . Aberdeen is also home to the oldest transportation company in the world The Shore Porters Society founded in 1498 . The main street in Aberdeen is called Union Street its construction entailed chopping the tops off of three hills and bridging the gaps one of which was bridged by the construction of the largest single span granite arch in the world , you now drive over it barely noticing it is there . During some building work in the nineties an archealogical site was uncovered which under investigation discovered evidence of habitation dating back to 2000 BC so people have been living here for four thousand years some of them still queing for the post office lol . Should you get the chance Aberdeen is well worth a visit it's a bonnie wee place of course I may be slightly biased .

The city that you keep seeing images of at the numbers is Edinburgh - within which I am fortunate to live, at this time. During the first half, the photograph appears to be taken from Arthur's Seat, which is a 760-foot volcanic plug right in the middle of the city, with panoramic views that extend right into the central highlands, from its summit. Those with the headland look like Neist Point on the Isle of Skye, whilst the final few are up Calton Hill in Edinburgh, looking west along Princes Street and over the Old Town, with Edinburgh Castle prominent in both this and the Arthur's Seat pictures. The only correction I would offer is that, while Dunfermline was a significant Royal Residence back in the 11th and 12th Centuries, the previous Capital City where kings and queens were crowned and where their government ministers met was in fact Perth, at least until 1437, after which it was it moved to Edinburgh, whose castle offered better security.

@@paulharvey9149Rubber wasn't invented: it is a natural substance that has been known and used for thousands of years, including for waterproofing. The English chemist, Joseph Priestley, was the first to notice it could be used to rub out pencil marks on paper and the substance acquired the name "rubber" for that reason. It is very likely that Scots developed processes to use it more widely. Whom did you have in mind? Charles MacIntosh dissolved rubber on naphtha and sandwiched it between two layers of fabric to create his waterproof garments.

FANTASTIC video and reaction Girls.. sooo much more to Scotland but my little-known fact I mentioned earlier is that Scotland and the UK have different Royal Standards.. the Royal Standard of Scotland includes the Scottish arms (Lion Rampant) in the first and fourth quarters and English arms (3 Lions) only in the second. From Balmoral to Edinburgh, then while Her Majesty's coffin lay in rest, and was made available for a brief period of public viewing at, St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, it was adorned in the Royal Standard of Scotland. The Standards were swapped as the Hercules transporting Her Majesty's coffin passed over the border, bound for London.. I like to think The Princess Royal, Anne, performed this task for her Mom.

Also we have a saying "Taps aff" weather, which means if the sun shines for an hour even in the cold months then you'll see many walking around with their "taps aff" meaning bare chested (men obviously) Taking their tops off. 😅 Really appreciate this video.

Regarding bagpipes: While the highland pipes are undoubtedly the most famous (and loudest) pipes, there are different traditional bagpipes all across Europe. Most of those can even be played indoors. The Irish uilleann pipes are almost as well known as the Scottish pipes - if you've been listening to Irish traditional music, you've probably heard them - but my favourite bagpipes are the Northumbrian ones. Unusually among bagpipes, they're blown with bellows rather than by using the mouth, and they have a very lovely sound. (Listen to Kathryn Tickell.)

Great views from up there over all of Edinburgh, but you need your walking boots! 2nd photo is also Edinburgh taken from Calton Hill in city centre. My hometown 👍

That was awesome and so much to take in. Would love to visit some day, I always figured my (real) last name was English but apparently the family came to Australia from Scotland, not sure exactly where though. Anyway, now I've got an overwhelming urge to watch Highlander for the 412th time.

German here. I love haggis! It tastes fantastic. We often visit our dear friend William in his Scottish homeland (Dunfermline) and he quite often visits us in northern Germany (Hannover). Whenever you are in a foreign country - try the local specialties. They don't always look good, but they are usually very tasty if you get them from a good source. We have something similar, we call it Calenberger Pfannenschlag. Yes, the Scots and the Lower Saxons have a lot in common. So keep an open mind and don't reject anything just because it sounds strange. Love from Hanover. Klaus

The picture you ask about is the City of Edinburgh taken from Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano in Holyrood Park. My old school, Holyrood High sits just below that hill in Duddingston Village. You can see Edinburgh Castle right in the middle.

When you said in number 48 “where is this?” It’s Edinburgh centre, next to Holyrood Palace is Queen’s Park which has Arthurs Seat, an extinct volcano; it’s from up on top and looking back at Edinburgh Castle, city centre surrounding vista 🎉

The picture introducing item no 48, which you were asking about, is a view (looking north west) of the city of Edinburgh with Salisbury Crags in the foreground on the right hand side of the picture. You can see Edinburgh Castle on its volcanic outcrop on the left of the picture and the 3 spires of St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral just to its left in the distance. I suspect the picture is taken from the summit of Arthur's Seat, another volcanic hill.

@alandunbar4244 9 ай бұрын

The image during the countdown is a panoramic view over the City of Edinburgh...facing northwest. The outcrop at the bottom right is the Salisbury Craggs which is part of Arthur's Seat (extinct volcano). This sits within Holyrood park in the middle of the city

The landscape picture you asked about around fact 48 is looking towards Edinburgh with Salisbury Crags on the right and Arthur's Seat in the distance. Aberdeen was the centre of the Granite Industry from the 1700s to the early 1900s. There were several quarries around the city. The largest is Rubislaw Quarry or 'the hole that Aberdeen came out of'.

@MrBulky992 9 ай бұрын

If Salisbury Crags are on the right, Arthur's Seat couldn't be in the distance. I believe the photo is taken from the summit of Arthur's Seat looking NW towards the castle which is on the left. Also visible are the triple spires of St Mary's Cathedral in Palmerston Place and the spire of the Highland Tolbooth Church in Lawnmarket.

I remember you got pretty into the game at some point.. Supporting South Africa of course, sadly Scotland are out but holding a soft spot for Ireland or Wales to come through if SA don't :)

Number 31 is wrong. The people weren't cleared off the land to favour the 'booming fishing industry', they were cleared off the land to make way for sheep and were forced to take up fishing in order to have something to eat. Hebrides is pronounced: Heb-rid-eez. The photo you asked about is Edinburgh viewed from Salisbury Crags.
