I grew up in Germany and was able to go on a summer trip through the highlands and stayed at the YMCA in Glasgow in 1996. I never felt anymore freer than when I was there...the peer marshes with the greenest softest moss and grass...the highland cattle. I just felt "at home" then years later I investigated my last name...SHADDEN ..and saw I had Scot ancestry from my father's line. Sheeesh...I am in the US now, but I love thinking back to those two weeks...they were the best and etched in my memory. I wish you safe travels. I lost an obsidian egg in one of those marshes...I suppose future archeologists will scratch their heads about why they found and egg. I only had 5 pounds left on my spending money so I got it as a keepsake souvenir. Our bus stopped and people wanted to walk up a peak that was snow capped for some reasoni stayed below and froliced between the little creeks. Well I came upon one I had to jump to cross..so I threw my showed over and the egg. I took a leap and my entire leg sank into the peet up to my crotch...my nice white jeans 😆😆😆..after managing to pull myself out I was only able to find my shoes but not the egg 😔😔😔 Trying to change my pants infront of a bus of teenagers was quite embarrassing. I wouldn't miss that trip for the worldi hope I can return one day. I believe the coast at Inverness was quite gorgeous and I loved the seashells. Ugh...now I am getting home sick to a place I never knew was my home. I heard the YMCA does not exist in Glasgow anymore.

Then stay there. You need not be so far away from home when the world is in chaos.

That's awesome, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ROAMING THE GREENS OF SCOTLAND RIGHT NOW

Just go home while you can and don't ever come back to China land... it is a Freedom Free Zone, not a good place for human.

Stay there, china is not a place you want to stick around anymore.

Great comment Carlos! Happy trails to you!

Sou brasileiro mas acho que em outras vida vivi na velha Europa. Ao ouvir essa musica sinto-me nos campo nevados do velho continente. 7:35

I resonate with this. I am so grateful that "classical" music has found a continuing life in the mainstream by way of movie soundtracks.

Truth.

@@DivineHellas 😊😊😊😊😊l

❤❤❤

yes sir, they are and not forgetting Abel Korzeniowski :)

@agnesspragness3776 ofcourse, so powerfully emotional

You forgot Howard Shore (The lord of the rings soundtrack) masterpiece

@paco3817 💯 there's probably loads more mate, too many to name but yeh good shout 👍🏻

Thomas Newman!

Last samurai too

@@Big_Chucky_Studios not in the same ballpark as those films but yes, good soundtrack.

I am hoping Napoleon coming up will be in that category as well. I think Troy could be good for consideration in the top 10 soundtracks. I did like the movie Krull soundtrack. Not really an epic movie, but the soundtack was wonderful.

@@Cheximus I would agree, almost in that category, but by far those 3 are alone at the top.

@@adalwolf8006 Braveheart is actually ahead by some distance, when I think about it. It's original, and stays interesting for the whole duration. LotM's central theme is actually taken from another piece of music. Gladiator can be inconsistent.

Yes it's beautiful to be free spirit and know I have You all to Thank For it!❤️✝️❤️

Best line ever

And wisdom guides the heart....

Yeah, as a teenager first seeing this I took that to heart as well, and always remember it!

exactly the same. cheers

I agree but would throw in Last of the Mohicans before Lord of the rings personally . The last kingdom on netflix has a great soundtrack as well.

I AMO

Oh dear

@@LadyLaidlawstiel Thank you very much sweetie!!!!

I respect that! I'm not Scottish, but I love Scottish people. I'm Irish American. "It's my Island!"

Neither of you are Scottish or Irish. Get a grip

@@user-fo4wd7hy4b ???

likewise 🙏

I am of Scottish descent. We are mixed with Tsalagi (Cherokee) from the Appalachian mountains. They share a common history. Parents went to Scotland and loved it.

@@truefossils6614 similar to my other yank mate, that tells me his great grandpappy's uncle's pet goldfish was from Scotland and that god darn made him Scottish now don't it.

@@BHALT0S Pretty funny Amigo. I guess being native Scottish vs having a distant ancestor from Scotland are indeed different realities. So I am part English too. Wonder what flag i should wave this summer at Euro 2024.

@@truefossils6614 im taking piss ya fanny, a thing you have to get used to if you even want to think about being scottish. some of my best mates are cunts, and I use that term all the time, like "here you ya mad cunt" and so on, and the closer your friend is, the worse the language is.

Thank you

Thank you!❤

I understand you friend ...in greek this word ...the word that indicates the thirst for the return to our country is...νόστος.... nostos....nostalgia

You women don't know about battle, us men still fight for our freedom and out rights every single day.

No heroes in America?! I guess the War for Independence meant nothing? Or how about the thousands of military men and women who have died or been horribly crippled through the years?! Yeah, keep saying America has no heroes.

We do if we learn American history. Absolutely.

Kingdom of Heaven (directors cut), King Arthur 2004, the Village 2004 and the Flying Daggers and Crouching Dragon, those are some other amazing films with awe-inspiring soundtracks.

the world has forgotten how to tell stories... they all care about sending a message. if you have something to say, at least consider learning to _speak_ properly? maybe? minimum?

@@bcn1gh7h4wk Barz!!

@@bcn1gh7h4wk So much truth in what you said. I always wondered what happened to great movies, comics, stories, etc., and you nailed it. It's all about the message now.

@Hays I love this movie and this soundtrack , but i don't agree , there is also a movie with great soundtracks as well >>> INTERSTELLAR

Try The Last Samurai next!, the soundtrack is a masterpiece.

I found other movies like Outlaw king to be more historically accurate than Braveheart. Braveheart is a nice movie,.. but it is too Hollywoodish movie. Regards

One of the greatest pieces of music ever.

Nice music

He really was, he died 7 years ago today.

Fór my opinion Hans zimmer is the Legend

Agreed! I will always love this soundtrack as one of my favs!

Свобода это внутренняя духовная состояние на санскрита называется мокша.После этого кто захочет любовь к Богу и МОЛИТСЯ и Бог открывает для него её.

I would love to visit Scotland,but I know it would not happen.

FREEDOM ✊ '8:32' Our new freedom tag in Australia, an idea offered up to all of us here who have been fighting the new tyranny for the last 3 years. And we would love to spread it far and wide across our globe, because it is the crux of what every human needs to hear. You're the only one on here that wrote a comment about what's happening to us all now. I was reading the comments and feeling sad because I couldn't find another awake person. so, hello Sammy. I am standing with you ❤ remember 8:32 (google it) and pass it along🙏

So very true! Scotland makes you weep for it's beauty

Thank you I needed your posting it helped so very much.

Robert the Bruce and Sir Sean Connery

Rob Roy

I love this movie so much but the historical side is horrible

Yes,Sir it is music to the ears, and soul.time is precious as life.we should all be appreciated.

Thanks Mr,hawkes for liking my reply to your comment

FREEEEEEEDOM!!!

Oh lord, I think you overrate the movie a bit. Nothing portrayed in it has anything to do with scottish history. And although the soundtrack and the scenic shots were fantastic, everything else in the movie screamed of classic american ignorance.

@@JimmyS.25 &*$% off with your history bullshit. No one cares. It's a film, not a documentary.

Its my favourite movie of all time, but I giggled when I seen the out takes on youtube and there was a ford Sierra in the background lol

I’m confident he is still composing on the other side, but we miss him here!

beautiful!😂

Eu tenho muita vontade de conhecer esses lugares,mas posso imaginar e sentir...deve ser único ter momentos assim que te fazem se sentir completo por dentro....❤️

@@user-fo4wd7hy4b Don't forget Last of the Mohicans. Last Samurai too Hollywood.

That saying was from braveheart not real life and it was Robert The Bruce narrating.

Does not Matter who said it Does it just behave yourself

@paulcorbin7495 Haha, I thought about replying to that, but I thought the guy just argue

@@DreamSec you got it wrong have some humility, a response like ah thank you. Wouldn’t have been argued with?

I was quoting the film to begin with it was the last line, I do apologise, the Internet has more idiots than civilised individuals

So kind

It's so gradual most people don't even recognize it; it becomes normalized. Then you look like a conspiracy nut for pointing it out how you had less rights than yesterday.

Not actually played on bagpipes, played on uilleann pipes

@@JOHNOOH I know I play the Uilleann Pipes…which are a type of bagpipe.

@@claytonschase you are not wrong. My apologies, most people associate the braveheart theme with the Highland pipes and in all fairness I assume "bagpipes" to be the Highland variety. Agreed though, some of the best.

@@JOHNOOH oh no worries. Yeah since most people don’t even know the Uilleann Pipes exist I used the generic term :)

I wish you good luck :) you got it 💛

Absolutely Love of Freedom WE Can All Learn of these Sacrifices and Understand they Are Real and They Are Worth it to Show Humanity the Battle has ENDED At Last and God Wins WE All Win WWG1WGA WeAreOne❤️✝️❤️

Tan cierto...so true ! ✨️

This and more. It's where and how life should be lived by all.

Trust me. You'll love the movie.

Yeah deffo give it a watch!

After seeing the movie- the opening theme makes me tear up, every time

What? That is the best film ever. Don't go another day without watching it.

@@marcelopimentel3690 I will watch it tonight I heard it's good

Did you visit Scotland?

It sure does

Mel Gibson is one of my favorites. He draws you into another world and I forget that it's just a movie. He is by far among the greats in American film.

Too bad it was so historically inaccurate! A powerful movie that unfortunately played fast and loose with history to the point where the only truths were his victories and death - but almost every other detail, including cultural, rang false. Wallace did not wear a kilt, paint himself blue, and was not even a Highlander. I won’t even discuss the impossibility of crossing paths with the princess without a time machine!

@@peggystone3676 oh wow! I had no idea! Good to know!

I also cry when he sees his wife. The film does move me. But what a terrible thing that people think they are learning Scottish history from it when it’s just a travesty. And the Scottish Wars of Independence are so fascinating. Do look up “The Outlaw King” starting Chris Pine as Robert the Bruce. I was privileged to see it on the big screen when Netflix did that awful thing where they release an epic film for one week in a few major cities. I studied Scottish history at the University of St. Andrews, have lived in Scotland (two years wasn’t nearly enough) and am a descendant of the Bruce (he has many, so I’m not bragging!), and that film is nearly flawless historically. The medieval detail is great.

@@peggystone3676way too inaccurate Hollywood at its worst 👍
