Nowhere on earth can compare to the unique beauty of Scotland. It was from this rugged landscape that a hero emerged 750 years ago. William Wallace and the story of his bravery in the face of oppression is a legend that has stood the test of time. Another legendary figure in Scottish history is Robert The Bruce, who gallantly fought for Scotland’s independence against English rule. But who were the real men behind the legends?

Directly related to Bruce through the Clan Kennedy.
Nice to get the real story instead of what Hollywood made up
Too much credit is given to the British. There are so many more individuals out of Scotland who have done far more amazing things than any Brit. Out of Scotland comes the Bible and the interpreters and the Holy Ghost filled men who made the laws of Britain. Gods people in the isle are of Scotland, not so much Britain.
I've met a few descendants of Wallace living in America today. Mild mannered, tall, named for him, but wouldn't be able to lead a war.
But what could one probably think to become from the man who's bride was raped, then killed? How could he live among his relatives who knew what happened?! He was craving for revenge!!!
I know the movie was totally bunk but I like it anyways.
The scene with Angus and the rocks was classic.
Love his history I’d rather watch this than something from Hollywood.
Descent from Edward I Oops, sorry!
As soon as it mentioned Wallace was born in 'Elderslie' it was time to switch off. He was born in Ellerslie, which was a small hamlet near Kilmarnock that no longer exists, and his origins now falsely attributed to Elderslie because it simply sounded like it. He campaigned in and around Ellerslie, attacked the English troops in the ancient burghs of Ayr and Irvine (right next to Ellerslie, incidentally), and all his family connections were also from around Ayrshire. Anyone who wants the bona fide Wallace story should read Dr Mckay's biography of him. All the true facts are there. To still claim the Elderslie connection shows that this is truly amateur hour and just as fictitious as the Mel Gibson film, as brilliant as that was.
It's not true that Sir William Wallace died terribly at the hands of King Edward's executioners. In fact, after having a bit of a fall from grace in his later years, he was arrested for drunk driving in California, whereupon he unleashed an antisemitic tirade upon the constabulary. Sir William Wallace is now reportedly quietly living out his remaining years in Mexico, mostly hidden away from public eye.
Historians have also recently uncovered new evidence that calls into question his early, formative years. It still appears to be certain that the brutal death of his wife was what caused his sudden shift towards violent rebellion, but was not at the hands of English soldiers garrisoned at his village in the Scottish highlands. Instead, historians now believe that his young wife was run-down by a post-apocalyptic biker gang known as Clan O'ToeCutter somewhere in the lawless Australian outback. Furthermore, it shockingly appears he had also had a son who was cut down with her, although there is some contention to this fact.
Naturally this angered him to a tremendous degree, and in some of the contemporary literature at the time it was said he was mad to the utmost degree; "Maximum Madness", or more simply…"Mad Max".
Not Scottish hero's, French speaking Normans.
De Bruce is a disgrace.
Oye lads, Her-Story, His-Story, Our '$tories. Will Wallace reincarnated to become Sir Lowell George n created Inn-famous Band, " Little Feat") not a fighter! Will was more a Country Dr. Alike Hawkeye Pierce from TV "Mash" he dinna die at hands of English he escaped to Canada!)) He brought The Bruce Brothers, into the world. Neal 6'9" n 300 pounds, Tom 6'5" n had far greater impact at rallying Scots than Robby 6'7". It wasn't untill the Irish came by hundreds did the tide turn. Those 3 boys spent most childhood in Ireland. Robby was adopted by the Scots n then chose to stay. After 1st wife died had his daughter saddled n seconds from pulling out for Med Sea, a Millionaire! Will smacked him on back of head. N his daughter touched his ❤. She agreed they should stay n help the Scots. Our-story! His 2nd Wife, the May Queen n their bairns made sure Rob adopted Scotland right back!+1❤
Very good
Inre the Bruce Brothers size? Their Mom had recessive Gene's from Irish Rovers, large men! They each became Millionaires thru Dads International shipping. Sir John Belushi The Blues Brother was rebirth of Neal A Bruce. Todays Lady Karen Gillan of Scotland is Tommy A Bruce's rebirth. Now add sci fi…cuz we had HELP! in form of an olde Saser weapon found n refitted by them. POV) Angel's Won Scots Independence with lil Luck o'Irish!)+1❤

The Redcoats getting chased out of Washington DC in War of 1812, By silver Saucer creating tornado!) Somethings, FREEDOM, just written in the Stars+1❤
Once a Pawn? The End!) Reason Saser repaired to kill the Ets that rode with Edward 2. Why they dinna come back again. The Dark Ets knew the Good Aliens WILLIN) to let the Scots march right thru London with Saser that could cut thru stone! +1❤
The Saser ran off type of battery. Only needed it 1 day! But they let us keep it. Only they could recharge the weapon. Apparently ne-er needed to. Think it's still there in Scot$-Land !+1❤
There were 3 star ships, both sides saw them. 1 landed. 2 scientific types, Humanoids got out. If u just Human? Ud be scared too, both sides!) About size of Baseball bat that looks like mini WW 2 Bazooka? ❤
The Irish who came as Immigrants stayed, whole families of Rovers! Not just "mercenaries Territory") Rob could not rely on Nobles who had English ties! It was the Music n laughter they add that draws people into Fight for Independence +1❤
Thru a glass darkly. See remains of old brown stone church walls on barren hill in Scotland southwest. See Black Douglas clan see lost Papers from that era. Underground crypt nearby or under that old building/Church+1❤
Get Impressions that een if u find Saser u can't reproduce its power cell. So it's safe to find now. Papers most important things!+1❤
Impression End of English Monarchs is close at hand. N with them those Faux British Noble clans get the Boot n the lands going back to We the People.+1❤
Informative Scottish history presented by Scots, as it should be. I greatly enjoyed the content and appreciated that their accents were easy to understand.
