An exploration of Scotland focused on Edinburgh examining the unique confluence of design styles in buildings. Europe and the UK have a longer history according to the mainstream account than the United States. How do these buildings compare and contrast with recent explorations of the United States? Many perceive Scotland as a beautiful, mystical and enchanted land. It is easy to see why this is the situation.

I will be returning to do another look on Edinburgh and Glasgow soon.
Your more than welcome man. Lol
Check out craigmillar gold ch .the film by old man watch it .
There is something magical about Edinburgh and this is from a Glaswegian. Old world everywhere.
Buurrr shaddap
Edinboro**
I live in Glasgow but was born in Edinburgh - I get what you mean about there being something magical about Edinburgh i get that feeling too but i always feel a kinda of creepy aura about the place also - Maybe something to do with how steeped in history the place is - or maybe some of my ancestors who died there playing tricks - either way there is always a tad creepyness about Edinburgh for me
@@williamf4544same. The dungeoms scared me as a kid
Should have gone to the dungeons, they aren't so scary. 😊
Scotland has these buildings all over. I work in the centre of Glasgow. Some of the buildings are crazy to look at. Nobody talks about them. I just walk around on my lunch break looking up while everybody else seems oblivious to them.
The hypnotic aspect of being oblivious, it seems one step above being in utter denial.
Glasgow has some nice buildings and architecture. I liked stopping to look at the buildings when through there too.
I’m from Edinburgh, and like you I never really stopped to see these buildings and to appreciate them for what they were or actually admire the workmanship until I was in my late teens early 20s.
It’s strange because my Dad took me to see almost every castle in Scotland. So I appreciated really old buildings.
But when you grow up in the city surrounded by this style of architecture, it’s not even classed as old, these are just middle aged buildings, or even relatively new and you really think it’s just another building and the same across countless towns and cities.
You don’t pay it any attention when you are surrounded with them.
My mum worked in the city chambers and the old buildings across from from it, and my granddad worked in the art gallery so I got to see inside a lot of these these buildings and the inside and the city chambers there was actually passageways and holes in the bowels of the building where you could get access to Mary kings close.
Even with all that, it’s hard to connect with all the stuff from earlier period stuff because growing up it was seen as nothing special and a bit Shan even.
The inside has that aesthetic you just wouldn’t appreciate as a child and saw it as a bit creepy.
They were a bit fogey.
Not many were interested in that stuff as a kid because it’s just the norm, it’s hard to see something you see as completely normal with splendour, and took this into their adulthood especially when passing these buildings was in the mundanities or the everyday parts of their lives.
They past them in boring bus journeys. They took shelter in them when they were raining. They peed in them when drunk, ate McDonalds in them, went to their jobs in them, the homeless sleep in their doorways, you shopped and bought your trainers in them. They were just buildings.
A lot of people in Edinburgh are just as fascinated with them as someone in America is when they walk around surrounded by their modern architecture in Indianapolis. Some are, some aren’t.
Unless you stop and have a look and start getting into the past and finding out about your city, these are just buildings with normal people inside. There’s not really any majesty.
Most folk don’t really even see the castle.
Like this guy must be mad if he thinks people are almost in denial because people don’t take in their majesty and stop and stare in awe at these buildings each time they pass. He would be exactly the same and is seeing it from a very different perspective.
It’s not magical, it’s not awe inspiring when you see the everyday functioning of a city and the drudgery going on around them, the smell of piss or have the jakes up the backstreets leaving their pins around. It’s just becomes any other city everyone rushes about to get their business done.
It’s normal for them to see it this way unless they are interested, which I understand because a lot of this style is everywhere you go in Britain and it’s not even all that old.
I know some of the Greco-Roman architecture isn’t even liked by people in Edinburgh. They see it as a bit fake and not really fitting. It’s seen as a bit of a fad the people not too long ago went through.
I get totally why they don’t see it, especially when people have grown up being taught the dark stuff and the macabre past of Edinburgh and seeing the places where people were hanged and learning people were throwing shite out of the window, grave robbing and having the ghost side of Edinburgh stuffed down their throats. It makes folk grow up thinking these people of the past were dirty and a bit backward.
Its not that they are oblivious or in denial. How can you not see it as tainted with modernity at the same time when you have franchises like Greggs built into older buildings. It gives it an air of the mundane.

Ahhh home to my ancient ancestors. Thanks for the hard work.
Thank you so very much.
My pleasure, hope you enjoyed it@@Sandbarfight
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 always do. My favorite will always be your take on film. So much of the truth is hidden in plain sight in those older movies.

Up until the 1920s most of the World had free Electricity , Tesla never invented anything , it was already here and in use.
Ever wondered how we can go from Horse & Cart to Hadron Collider in 130 Years ?
Technology is not new , in fact it's very Old
You have heard of D.E.W ? Directed Energy Weapon , well the Facia , a Bundle of Rods with an Axe were D.E.W Weapons !!!!
This is awesome, Scotland now. It is cool to see other aspects of the Old-World in other nations.
I feel like you’d like to investigate malta, a beautiful tiny island in the Mediterranean scattered with mind boggling so called ‘Greco Roman’ architecture, ancient ruins, vast underground tunnels and stories of giants embedded in the local ‘mythology’. Including the elongated skulls recently found there, I feel this place would really grasp your attention. Great vid as always love the content
Thanks, it is on the list.

Thank you. Impressed with your view. Scottish descendant's yet I am limited in the history.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Scott statue was added at a later date The monument already existed & the new controllers needed to assign it some purpose so one of Scotland’s favourite sons was selected
the picture of them stomping in a bucket looks like they are washing clothes
Excellent. Noted the people sitting down in the station, all heads down, seemingly unaware of their surroundings. Perhaps they are regular commuters, but there is always something to see. Someone could come along and change some detail right in front of them, and they would be oblivious.
Same today due to the mobile phone addiction no one is addressing
Am I the only one that finds it a bit strange that there are 4.4K people who saw this video but only 340 who commented? Oh well.
Btw my dear friend Aurelian, your subscription count is 13K and climbing steadily. I salute ya. Here's hoping it continues like that for a long time.
This city of Edinburgh is truly fascinating, as are all such old world cities, we have to admit. I didn't exactly know all these things about this place, though. Makes one really wonder about actual history while looking at all those amazing buildings and monuments and the city structure in general. Truly fascinating.
Also, I'm glad that your focus is starting to shift towards Europe and hopefully you plan to make videos about incredible places like Budapest. The channel My Lunch Break made two videos about the place, and the first had something to say about the Hungarian Parliament, not very detailed but still encouraging, and it was at the request of yours truly. Yay! I know 100% you can make a much more detailed video if you go there so here's hoping. Thank you again for the great work in restoring the world. God bless.
There is a method to this approach. ;)
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 whatever approach you may be referring to, there is a method in any conscious action. No worries, take your time, we're not going anywhere.
@@ogxidlyzlylyz Although it's unfortunately true that today we can never have 100% safety online, on this channel you're among friends... if you wish to be here and talk, it's safe enough. Here we don't worry about agendas, as for those who have them, the owner of the channel handles it all pretty well. As for the mysteries, keep scratching, we all do. Sometimes we come across a pickaxe... It's fun.
This is great!!! Thank you Lucius!
I was a stone mason in Scotland . I done restoration work on Walter Scots home. It was lovely and it had a 12 feet stone wall around the garden and the garden was massive

Most people believe what they are told and are incapable of any critical thinking. A great informative video.
One sentence that officially says it all. My hat is off to you! :))
Look at what happened in maui. Those fires are likely from directed energy weapons. The same weapons that were used to destroy Tartaria.
The Old-World buildings seem to be holding up well there. I don't think it is the same weapon at all.
Oprah and Jeff bezos have been trying to buy the property surrounding their mansions but no one would sell. And amazingly, their homes were magically saved from the fire! THAT'S NOT SUSPICIOUS 🤔🤔🤔
The channel Wise Up is from Scotland 🙂
the roads alone are remarkable, our don`t even last a season between floods, sink holes, and plows. the land is so flat there, i expect to see a bunch of uneven ground and piles of rocks on the cliff side, yet it`s all so clean, level.... even the angled ground looks perfect....
Our roads in Edinburgh are absolutely dreadful! I don’t know where you’re getting your observation from. I wish they were as you described!
Also, remember Edinburgh is thousands years old. We are a tourist city, and everything is made safe. We have pretty good infrastructure for that.
I have been there twice.
I went by train from London it my 20's. Even then we had a saying;
Old good.
New bad.
Good to hear from you, funny how those sayings seem even more relevant with passing time!
Good afternoon my friend from New Castle Indiana! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Thanks for another great video! You are a great truth seeker! GOD BLESS ✌️🙏
Thank you very much!
I’ve just come back from Edinburgh. Edinburgh is known as the original Jerusalem, Arthur’s Seat known as the mount of olives. King David 1st built Edinburgh castle, Solomon first castle was Stirling castle. Comyns Beaumont covers this along with Atlantis/Doggerlands. Great video btw.
Thank you, yes I will cover the Legend aspect of it. I always believe there is much more fact than we are led to believe in the legends.
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214
Yes please. I have my own opinion on this subject. I'd love to here urs.
Tartan = tartaria, look for variations of haggis and bagpipes found in other cultures
Surely Jerusalem is known as the original Jerusalem?
For a while now, I've been wondering why most of these ancient structures are built on hills or high places. When looking at these structures look closely to see if they are built on hills or the cut off tree stumps. I don't think they are on these particular high places for fortification from enemies. My theory is that there is something underneath these locations that make them important such as hollow earth or the underworld which makes them sacred. BTW, I am loving this channel:)
Thank you, very much!
I notice that too. Sometimes the structure looks top heavy, as if there should be a couple of stories at least below. Oh boy, would love to excavate just a little bit under those on the hills to see what we would find.
Can’t get enough of these beautiful old world creations.
Or everything lower is under mud or got washed away(?)
I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland, some day I will.
Go now.
19:40 apparently Ivanhoe was 'set' in Ashby de la Zouche (right by me) and based upon the Robin Hood archery competition (so the local legend goes). Theres a school in the small town called Ivanhoe, and also a small Industrial Park. Ashby used to be a Spa Town.
Great video, thank you. I went to Edinburgh in the early 2000s, however now I think I have the eyes to see. I never saw or even knew about the Alexander the Great statue - mind blowing to think why the Scots would've elected for it...
Exactly, another significant detail that does not make a lot of sense. The Scots were the ones who we are told sent the Romans back to Hadrian's Wall. I find it challenging to believe there would not be a significant response over the Grecco-Roman buildings or old Alex there.
Edinburgh is a treasure trove of architectural gems, save the Scottish Parliament building a wholly irrelevant eyesore.
@6.50 The little dome is the usher hall.
Thank you very much!
@Restitutor_Orbis_214 No worries. I live nearby. You should have a look at the interior. We'll worth a look
One of the aspects I enjoy the most! Thank you.
@23:47 The (1840s?) pic of Waverly station. In the lower right of the painting it shows a "road" that looks it's the remaining high section of mud flood after they've dug back down to the building fronts.
Edinburra how we say it. Excellent vid.
Thank you very much.
4.13. The streets are what we call 'Cobbles'. They were used a lot in the North down to mid country. They are made of granite very resistant to ware. About 8-10" [inches] deep. Very closely fitted. In many places still in use today. They are so deep and well set, that they have been tarmaced over and out live the tarmac
Surprise surprise. ;)
Used a lot in the south too. You still find cobblestones uncovered in ancient cities like Canterbury, Kent.
In Scotland they are called 'setts'. Edinburgh has the benefit of being built on and around seven volcanic cores, so there was plenty of highly durable volcanic stone for this application of paving streets.
As you note, many have teen tarmaced over (Tarmac, another Scottish invention), though with the setts being impervious the tarmac has nothing to engage with - it merely sits atop the stone and thus breaks up relaitvely easily. I long for the day when that tamac is lifted and the beauty of the real roads beneath is revealed.
Makes me proud to have been born and raised there 😊
Great video as always, your features on particular cities are very in depth. Although you are American I suggest whenever you can to look at more European cities like you did with this video. The stories behind some buildings in Europe are as idiotic as ones in North America, although the stories do provide some further clues to what is going on with our history.
I think Europe doesn't get covered as much because of the different background and timeline which doesn't stand out as much as the so called "New World". However, I think that is changing now. I intend to do more.
It's so easy to take precedent, 'or what has come before' as a given and culture is a pursuit of dopamine or passing time :S the individual is the one to pursue significance
My home town born here live here as parents grand parent and great great grandparent. ❤❤❤
12.10. I have laid eyes on this Canon and it is awesome. What you have to realise is that here in UK, we have 7 breeds of ancient British horses and ponies. Some of which are heavy horses. Shires and Clydesdales are massive in height and structure. They certainly could have pulled this canon. Especially with soldiers pitching their shoulders in. Dale's ponies which belong to the royal family and carry the stags that are felled in the Scottish mountains and high moorlands. Are lighter build but shore footed. And the Fell ponies again lighter but strong could easily carry the Canon balls
My family bred Clydesdales and I have horses. That cannon is stated to weigh 15,366 lbs (that seems low to me, but we will say it is accurate). The world record in draft horse competition is 22,000 pounds. The load was pulled 66 inches over dry clay by a pair of Belgiums. A pair of draft horses can pull a load weighing over 9,000 lbs 30 feet. That doesn't seem very practical, maybe if you have hundreds or thousands of horses to switch out? You still have to supply them along with the time required to switch out each pulling team. How long would it take to move that cannon a mile, 10 miles, or 100 miles?
@Restitutor_Orbis_214 interesting. Loving the challenges you provide. So you are possibly suggesting that the Canon never travelled? I suppose this could be the case, if it was at a time when the powers that be, were diverting the general populations attention by creating an image of power. As the castle already existed why not build the biggest bestess mostess image. There is also added prestige of community members who, provide the wood, helped to design build etc....
@@sarahsmith6878I don't know if it traveled, just suggesting it would be very challenging to move it over distance before having access to a train. It gives the impression perhaps it had other uses than what we may imagine.
An imposing show of strength...
It’s called a ball buckie that carried them .
Very few people on the streets. Exactly like in all other cities Worldwide, at that same time. Definitely post-catastrophic photos after most of population disappeared.
Unless people are standing perfectly still you won't see them in these old photos
All these amazing buildings still standing/ no cracks no shifting with all that weight..
I want to talk to you about something but not on here. I love your videos and would like to share something with you to present! It’s awesome how quick your channel has grown!
What email address can I message you at? I didn’t see one in the about section
Yeah, I’d like to go there someday dad was born and lived in Edinburgh Came here when he was 18 years old. I told him what was going on in the world. He tell me I was crazy, but I have told him some things and yes he thinks I’m nuts but it’s all good.
He’s been watching fake news for a long time now. Lol.
To help with your point, Edinburgh was the Athens of the 18th century thanks to the Enlightenment, hence, the monuments. And we only opposed Rome, not Greece. Great video. Thanks!!
The ball on Nelsons monument was the original time signal for ships at harbour to set their on board clocks. At 1pm the ball was dropped but if visibility was poor it was useless so the tradition of the 1 o'clock gun from the castle was started..
The 1 o clock gun is currently a 105 mm which replaced the old 25 pounder in the 1990s I think
Spending another weekend binging your videos😊!!!!
You're the best!
Watching from Fiji. Thank u for sharing your wisdom. 🙏❤️
You are very welcome!
The big building on the old photos on Calton Hill was Edinburgh prison build in 1817 on top of the original prison. Hangings took place there too. Many think it looked like an old Castle, however it was indeed a prison. It was partly knocked down in 1930 and St Andrews house was built in its place which was the Scottish government building.
Love your video, very worth while watch, and that's from a Scotsman who now lives in Australia.
Cheers
U nailed it ! .. they did have all the time in the world . Not controlled by fear and not a crime to be proud of your race . National pride will make people achieve amazing things . I think we are so far removed from the world of pre 1890 that it is hard to fathom the skill involved in this architecture, but also the sheer magnitude of this worldwide definitely suggest we are denied the truth . Great Chanel 👍🏻
To be honest, Scotland is one of the few countries where it’s still very acceptable to voice and actively celebrate national pride. Lots of faults (mainly governmental - surprise!), but we are exceptionally vocal about our land, our history and our traditions. You can’t really blame us 😃
Regarding his consideration of the duration of history in the 11:05 - 11:25 area, I find this considerable, myself.
I have found theorizing that Rome was much closer to the Rennaissance, for example lately, than we are conventionally taught with dates. I see great probability in it myself, but I also see "dark ages" as learning curves in globalization and any centralisation of culture.
The marks in the stairway looked carved to look like wood.
So cool
Well this is new. Please do more in the UK. I noticed that a lot of buildings around here don't necessarily seem to match the stories we're told about them since I started looking at people doing this kind of research in the US. Not that I believe that our history is wrong, I just kind of love that we can question it and in many cases we have to admit that we just don't know who built things ;)
22:30 - gotta brick up that Roman doorway in case anyone questions it.
If we today were to remove any one if those structures and install it somewhere else we still won't have a clue as to how to move it ..
Praise God that we have historian thank you
Edinburgh was known as Auld reekie, due to the amount of coal fires being burned. The history does add up a lot more than the American story. Its a great city to visit.
That parliament building is horrible
Agreed, it's a carbuncle on an otherwise beautiful part of the city..
So are the people residing in it.
@@cmcc3721 agreed theyre scum
The Parliament Building is fine (no, I don't like it either). It just happens to be in the wrong place. The government's choice of design and insistence on that location (formerly a traditional brewery) was a reminder of how little regard they have for the tradition of Scottish architecture. Such an insult, particularly on the Royal Mile and across from Holyrood Palace. Even worse, it was designed by a Spanish architect (who died of natural causes during its construction). It was opened 8 years late. And the cost had ballooned from £52 million to about £452 million!!! Even then - and now, I believe - they are still having to repair the place.
Not to politicise the matter, but if the handling of the building is any indication of the competency of Scottish politicians, then those yearning for independence should bear this in mind.
The image @3:30 captured the reflection/depiction of the photographer. Really cool.
I see a ghost face(?) like the Shroud of Turin
Wow!
Awesome mate! 🙏🏼
I live there, old stuff everywhere!
Thanks
You are most welcome and thank you very much.
Hi there, just to say Edinburgh Castle is built on an extinct volcano rather than a hill. Near by we have a hill refured to as Arthur's Seat which is associated with our legendary King Arthur,
I am not so keen on the extinct volcano theory, they say that Devil''s Tower in Wyoming as well.
The most interesting part of Edenburgh are the underground Vaults - streets underground
The actual buildings just don't match the narrative.
'Edinburra'
I always mention the materials and tools that seem beyond the scope of this era but looking at the precision of the construction and details is phenomenal. I can look at modern construction and see warped walls, skewed angles, etc but not these “old world” buildings…
You can see the precision and even feel it internally.
Regards the photo of 'the Bank of Scotland'. The building is currently the Dome restaurant on George street. Before it became a Bank in 1847, it was the home of the Royal College of Physicians, originally built in 1776. The bank decided to the extend the portico from four pillars to six in the 1840s, hence, I presume, the scaffolding in the photo.
How good is the food at the Dome restaurant?
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Pretty good, but the interior alone is worth seeing. Banks had a lot of money in those days (and now!) and they didn't skimp on decor, restoration and additions have been done sympathetically too.
The National monument on Calton Hill is the way it is, because ... they ran out of money. Simple as that.
Indeed, countless wars that stopped too because governments ran out of money....
Edinburah
Not Edinburrow
Very interesting, I love watching these old world video's as it saves me time researching.
And they are most definitely Tartarian buildings, not Roman.
It only takes 3 generations to hide His-Story and that's exactly what 'they' (Freemasons) have done.
:)
When I watch your videos, I always get to know interesting things, so thank you Today I have another question for you
These big buildings, palaces are the residence of the king, but where did the subjects live? Where is the home of the subjects? Or has the sunk by the mud flood?
Regent Terrace, and there is no shortage of Old-World homes even now.
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Thank you once again for clearing my dilemma and confusion 😊
Temple at 2:09 is Solomon temple design
Regent Terrace is where the U.S. and French consulates are in Edinburgh.
What a coincidence.
Buy some accounts, Edinburgh may have originally been known as Edenburgh. I reckon direct energy weapons were targeted at selective areas, but not major buildings that could be repurposed. Some sort of major Reset took place in the UK around 1840. I reckon there was a previous reset in the 1600s maybe principally in England. Possibly, selective resets have been occurring in Europe over the past 400 years. America then followed suit in the 1800s. Of course, they’re trying to do it again. Even the book by Claus Schwab is named “the great reset”. Great video, thank you from someone who lives not far from Edinburgh. 😍
Your mention of 'reset' is a good one. The starting of the New Town in the late 1700s was essentially the launch of one that would see radical revisions happen in the Old Town, as the installations of Victoria and Cockburn (originally Lord Cockburn) streets, the expansion of narrow wynds into Chambers and Jeffrey streets, plus replacement of the stretch between George IV Bridge down to the Tron Church (due to fire) and the clearing of the slums transform the city as it modernised to keep pace with the times, with the installation of Waverley Station playing a key role.

This may help point you in the right direction. ICONS OF THE BLACK SAINTS OF THE BRITISH ISLES AND IRELAND -- if you can find an original image!
Is there an email address where one can send photos of some oddities that have been seen in old churches ?.
We were in Matera italy last week and saw some stone inlays that "appear" to depict UFO's.
I'm a sceptic but this looks very odd.
I got it, looks like some sort of vehicle in the sky, tune in to today's video.
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 ok sweet..👍
What is the castle used for today? I wonder if it has modern plumbing and HVAC sense it's still occupied
It looks like it used for the tours, I am sure there is someone who may know much better about the status of the HVAC. It also seems to be open for reservation as a wedding venue. I think that fact is always a great test to know something is an Old-World building. ;)
The image of Waverley Bridge is actual its construction, so that is what is happening there.
The image @ 14:45 shows the former gaol (jail), much of which was demolished a decaded after it closed in the 1920s. New St. Andrews House, a comparatively brutalist building housing government offices is the current primary placeholder on that bit of land, though thankfully the tower remains. Worth noting that when the road here was constructed on the south side of Calton Hill (there was already one on the north side), it cut into a Calton Cemetery, resulting in many remains and monuments being relocated further along to create New Calton Cemetery.
Yes, the blackening of the buildings had very much to do with the coal fire chimney smoke pouring out of the many (MANY!) chimneys in the city. But exacerbating that matter was that the stone of, say, the Scott Monument was highly porous sandstone that contained oil. This oil comes to the surface and any pollution particulate adheres to it, which is why cleaning the monument some years back was so problematic, controversial and expensive. There is one RUclips video where a piece of that stone is heated in a pot and the bottom of the lid becomes glazed with black oil.
The architecture of city centre Edinburgh is very misleading. Much of what appears old, particularly in the eyes of North Americans, is actually surprisingly modern (the bottom left of the Royal Mile is a horrid hodge podge of 20th century newbuilds. The oldest building in the city is apparently the tiny St. Margaret's Chapel, located in the castle. But much of the Old Town is less than 200 years of age, with much being 19th centure and even the 20th century.
The building of Victoria Street (1830s) and (Lord) Cockburn Street in the 1860s saw neighbourhoods demolished and rebuilt. Then there were the slum clearances in the middle of the 1800s, with St. Mary's Wynd rebuilt as St. Mary's Street...which connected with the newly created Jeffrey Street. The purpose of these new streets was to provide suitable space for horse & cart movement of goods to and from Waverley Train Station, not least of which was coal for the fireplaces.
The video shows some interesting old images including the archway of the street bridge that spans the Cowgate (road running parallel to the Royal Mile albeit at a lower lever). The buildings there are all gone, with the new ones constructed right up against the bridge, so one sees only the archway. What we don't see is that this bridge runs for a few city blocks and is like a multi-tiered Roman viaduct.
BTW, those roads are not laid with 'bricks'. Though often referred to a cobbled stone street, what we see are setts. These were typically cut from volcanic stone, thus were pretty much impervious to weather conditions and typical wear. In some instances there are areas (I've seen them in the New Town) where a short, hilly stretch might have vertically laid 'chips' of this stone (i.e. edge facing up). This is to reduce slippage during icy weather. Those chips are remnants from when the setts were being cut. In some instances small natural stones were used. These were in less formal applications (i.e., often private, off-street). So, in earlier times those were all stones, there were no bricks. However, these days brick-like setts are often used, most notably in pedestrian precincts where there is no automotive (i.e., heavy-weight) traffic. Unfortunately they tend to create the look of a garden pathway. In recent years the popular pedstrianised Rose Street in the New Town has had new 'stones' laid. These are fabricated in brick-like fashion though in the guise of the real thing. Worth noting that while these replaced other bricks laid not so long ago, the real setts of volcanic stone laid by the Romans a couple thousand years ago are still fine and functional. So, no 'bricks' on the Edinburgh streets, just (to the best of my knowledge) in pedestrian and parking areas.
Edinburgh is a fascinating city that continues to reveal its secrets to those who take the time to dig a bit deeper than the surface.
The statue of Scotty doesn’t have the same ornate detail that the building has…the narrative is weak & I’m not offended 🤗
St. Margaret's chapel is the oldest part of the castle it dates back to the 12th century around the time of the crusades
I wonder if one could be built today anywhere like the original...
I am looking for "Cult Castle" of Medlothian Scotland 1600s. But I cant find anything on it. Could it be renamed? Destroyed and lost to history? or just someone put the wrong castle name down? I dont really know what to do at this point. I dont want a place of death attached to my ansestor if it never existed.
Hard to say, records are always being "lost" in some way, shape or form.

That is where the tower/telescope joke comes from. ;)
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Ha!! I see 😆

Apparently I'm descended from William Wallace. 🤷🏼♀️ My people, the MacNeils, are from the Isle of Barra. According to my uncle. Fascinating view of Scotland!!
Very interesting lineage, perhaps one day I will do an exploration on the bizarre trace of my family name back to the 15th Century. It is "well-documented". ;))
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Yessss!! Do it! I think we'd all be interested in that. I don't know what to believe about history anymore 😆, but its still so intriguing.
Alright it is in progress. :)
Would you be American by any chance?
This uncovering His-Story is wild.
In the 15th century, an innovation enabled people to share knowledge more quickly and widely. Civilization never looked back. Knowledge is power, as the saying goes, and the invention of the mechanical movable type printing press helped disseminate knowledge wider and faster than ever before.
In the United States, a Knights Templar commandery is traditionally the final body that a member joins in the York Rite after the chapter of Royal Arch Masons and a council of Royal & Select Masters.
They say Freemasons came about in 1390 so why would a Knights Templar commandery be the final body Freemasons join in the York Rite?
Knights Templar is from the 11th Century but Freemasons started in 1390?
I call BS.
Freemasons I reckon have been around for thousands of years because architecture is the same all over the world and Freemasons have seeped into every facet of civilisation.
This group of men (they didn't allow women to join) have altered, destroyed, rebuilt, deleted & covered up His-Story for at least a thousands years because I believe they've learned from their mistakes and gone to the next level to take control of every single one of us through propaganda. The printing press was their major breakthrough to spread propaganda. Media plays a big part in all of this and jumping ahead to the TV they had cracked the code to mislead the masses into believe ultimate lies.
I'm so glad now in the modern world where we have the wealth of information at our fingertips we are all working together to uncover the lies.
Freemasons swear to never reveal secrets. Those secrets are the truth about true history so they can propel modern civilisation into a world where AI will take control and no one will ever have to interact with a human being again because it's all going to be controlled through a screen.
It's sick, wrong and utterly disgraceful but there are people who will do anything they can to be Anti-God (they know we were all created so they created religions to divide us).
I feel so enlightened it's unreal.
Im sure i saw a video of a castle in scotland that has walls that appear to have been melted. Thought at the time it was strange as this appears more often in middle eastern regions.
Edit: ok i just searched, theyre called vitrified forts and are common in scotland.🤔
Something very important that was located there.
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214
Agreed melted stone doesn't happen during a hot summer😂
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214wanted to draw your attention to a beautiful domed sikh temple built in Gravesend Kent. Its fairly modest compared to some of these buildings built over 2-3years. I understand they brought skilled stone masons over from India to construct it in the early 2000 and it still took 8 years. Just an interesting comparison.👍
good
That is sort of the point. ;) Welcome.
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 some things were wrong but it is all good lol, nice to see yanks trying to branch out a bit 🤣🤣
@@koldfyre4505 Yanks? ;)
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 just playing lol
All good.
So it's called "The Athens of the North" because of the 18th century enlightenment period. Nothing to do with architecture.... But maybe that's what they want us to believe ;)
National monument was supposed to be an ode to that, but war meant that they ran out of money.
I think understanding the significance of the Scottish Enlightenment would help give better context to a lot that happened in Scotland and Edinburgh.
It helped create modern economics: Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations, from his supply and demand experience from markets that happened around Calton Hill.
Then you have David Hume.
Both instrumental to economics.
Then you have Surgeon's Hall that you touched on: but left out the significance of 18&19th century Anatomy And Sciences of the time.
Again, it was extremely important in our advancement of understanding the human anatomy... At the time people didnt donate bodies to science (for religious reasons, namely), but Edinburgh surgeons turned a blind eye to freshly dug up bodies or bodies of "relatives" by mass murderers who forged death certificates, because they drew huge, paying, group's of people who came to see and learn.
It has a truly fascinating history from that period and I feel it helps explain some, not all, but some of the inconsistencies you point out.
I went down the rabbit hole of the cannon and the cannonball, and how they would yell charge before. Supposedly, they fired it. Were they really using technology where they charged a weapon and fire!!!
Great question, they do for modern mortars but that seemed a little extreme especially for the vast amounts of ammo they had just laying around in photos.
Edinburgh castle is actually built on top if an extinct volcano
I always LOVE accounts of extinct volcanoes.
Could well be just rapid smoke pollution it didn't pick up the name auld reekie because of the clean air..
It is true, things add up on that aspect.
For all the times i've walked through princes street gardens, i don't think i've opened my eyes and actually noticed any buildings. Funny how when you jump on a plane and go somewhere different is the only time you look up.
Well they wear tartan skirts
Or kilts they call them
Like roman type dress
But the oldest tartan found was duscoved in china
🤔datet 3000 yrs if i recall
Interesting video
Strange planet 🌜
Please, could you get your pronunciation correct, Edinburgh (Sounds like) Edin bu ra.
No, it is friendly teasing for all the mispronunciations heard in Newcastle upon Tyne. ;)
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Awww, who misproscuers their worms? 😁
Yes indeed. ;)
Another film that takes us a lot into the ancient world is Highlander, you could make a review 😅
Don't get me started on the circus show that is Highlander 2.
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Lol not 2, just the first 😁
@@albebelt3013 Did you know that Sean Connery phoned in the opening monologue from a bathroom?
@@Restitutor_Orbis_214 Lol in Highlander 2?
The opening of the original film! The interesting thing about Highlander 2 was when they edited it into the Renegade version, they ended up making a direct, in your face, reference to the Old-World.
Its pronounced Edinburra ,Waverly bridges are above Edinburra's Waverly train station.
It is for every pronunciation I heard of Newcastle upon "Tin" ;)
Its a hotel the big building the train station is below
It’s not coal dust it’s a type of mold.
Bro... I've never thought so intensely about something...... Still don't know. BUT it would be nice if we could talk to someone who actually worked on building those, lol
They say founded because the building was found it was already there
With out power tools the first one in the 1870’s
Come on man. It’s Scotland, not Scatland. It’s an O, not an A 😃
You Canadians are something else. 🇺🇸
😉 it’s annoying isn’t it?
It is not annoying when you travel, and everyone does not pronounce everything the way you think it should be pronounced. You suddenly realize it is just another system of control. What language are we speaking right now after all? :)
Hey,brilliant and u didn't refer to Scotland as a celtic ppls👍there were celts,and vandals,trojons,babylonia,sumerians many more,in the 1700s a campaign to obscure Britain's true history began.this is why we r taught,,,"roman"britain history,Scots were celts,the welsh🤔that's a long story, Arthur,,Uthra pendragon, a real not mythical character.british blood line native so to speak. Brave heart,,,,William Wallace, Wallace is a old Welsh family name ,its not Scots.sorry easily distracted 😂 technically here we r Britain's,,,it never used to b divided,Arthur was first king of the whole of Britain.there is a place in Wales,,,,valley of the King's? Yep stone burial mounds throughout,and would u belive it,a town called arthurstone with a huge burial mound,,, a coincidence 😂...so I had to pause to chequ out the stone work around the 3 arches pic🤔I'm thinking is that more a tile,quite thin as opposed to stone ?it would make sense, as a decorative finish layer,.that author's monument is as alien as it gets ,I luv it .reminds me of super8 (Abrahams, I think).there's something about the atmosphere captured in the pictures 🤔not the air😅the feel of it,I've seen 2 of the pics awhile back and had the same sense.im gonna share to a you tube channel I got to know 2 year ago,,a Scots guy ,older fella in his 70s ,sound as a pound knows the history,,,see what he makes of the pics.rebel without a caues is his channel. Kool pics man good post 👍heddwch ✌️(peace in welsh,which was aincent British 😉)👍
I am glad you approve, thank you very much!
