This video makes me smile. Because after having to live in England for four bloody years (other half refused to move to Scotland when he met me), I’m now moving home in August with him ❤️ whenever I go and stay with my Mum up there, the air feels lovely, my skin and hair don’t dry out and my mental health returns to normal. I can’t wait to come back 🏴
I hope that this lockdown carry on has finished by then and hope your move is swift and stress free. Even if you can't move in August, keep the option open of moving back home. I'm sure your other half will love it. I know quite a few EnglishScots now and they would not move back down there now. They love Scotland too much, just as much as us.
Escaped ex-Yankee here, three years in Edinburgh and going on three as a proud Glaswegian. What a relief to be away from the sickness of American life and enjoy this beautiful, thriving culture, warm-hearted people and stunning natural environment. I thank every god there is every day for my good fortune
Marilyn - I feel you, though I am still here, I haven’t found my way over there yet. I visited for the first time in 2016, and absolutely fell in love with the people, the land, and traditions of Scotland - what a fantastic country! It sounds like you sure are abundantly happy there.
Can't believe I lived in the remote NW Highlands for 13 years and came back to this shite. I call the country of my birth (an accident not my fault ) englandshire now....yes with a small e.
@@dracosmudblood Oh dear, naughty Granny. My friends very disabled elderly Mum had all her home care taken away and still voted Tory! I may be the only sane old lady left in England LOL
English born and bred, from south of London but have lived in Scotland for 27 years now. I love it and whilst I am sad about being so far away from my family, I would not want to move back.
I'm singing this from across the pond in USA too! We truly ARE assylum seekers! Plus, my ancestors were run out of Scotland by the damn imperial colonizers south of your borders, so it's truly my rightful home! Let me come home please! ♡
I'm English but was lucky to spend 13 years in the remote NW Highlands...bliss, no racism anywhere and the rain up there is clean....as is the air, even the politicians are a bit cleaner :-) Love this song proper cheered me up after the crappiest election ever. x
Thanks Mitch. You are a real talent and a very wise man - and such a worker! You have spurred me on to moving to Scotland and a few of us are doing just that. People like you keep me sane. Keep it up. Jerry
My partner’s first generation English but his Scottish blood goes all the way back on his dad’s side (he’s a Robertson). If I marry him, can we both come up there? I’m sane, I promise! Can’t speak for him though, he is with me, after all! 😂
100 years Ireland, was an impoverished remit of Westminster, where starvation was used as policy to hold people back. Ireland is today set to become the third richest country on the planet compare that to British junta -Northern Ireland. ALBA,ag eirigh a rithist.Democracy not corruption or a country demented and rotten, rotten to the core.
love this... love this... love this.. and i would be moving to scotland myself. i hope that they declare independence and then let me become a citizen by birthright through my granny and granddad...
I can relate . Love this song . The similarities ( please , I mean no offense ) between the struggles here in U.S. and what this man sings about . So glad that I saw this . I need some comic relief . As for the the weather , I have always always been drawn to rai y days . I like the way the earth smells on those days . Thank you for letting me here this song .
@@killerfunghoul3948 WHIT!??? 42 years old, lived in Scotland all my life, and I just learned that Fife is SOUTH of Dundee. I always thought it was north :)
I needed to hear this just before New Year... :-( It's an odd feeling, watching your own country deliberately put itself on the wrong side of history...
I cannot even tell you how much I loved this! …I also dream of the possibilities of a move to Scotland, things in are rather crazy in “the states”. This secured my Subscription to your channel - well done!
Come on in mate. Lock the zoo on your way out. But remember there are rules for tories that live here when it comes to voting. "Tories voters stay at home, save lives, safe the nhs".
*Thumbs up if you're an American like me and sadly feel this song also applies perfectly to America today under the orange dictator and want to move to Scotland too!*
@@alfiejmulcahy Don't worry. The only place this orange criminal will move to is a country with no extradition treaty with the USA so he won't go to prison for his multitude of crimes.
It's no Nirvana in reality. Look at the mess this new SNP guy is causing. And the weather is even worse. Storm after storm after storm. But I do understand trying to escape Tory English hell and what it's caused. From a fellow Scouser, good luck Mitch, wish you and your family well.
Been trying (from Australia) for three years. Have a son and granddaughter there. Will be there in three weeks and am going into the Scottish Govt offices. So there :)
Love this. I do feel your pain. Here in the U.S., many of us talk about moving to Canada to escape the madness that has gripped our country. Every possible logical fallacy is employed to defend the fascist, xenophobic federal administration by their cult followers, I found it very sad when I saw the same tendencies occurring in England.
If you lived in a different country, you could just as easily write: "Here in the Scotland, many of us are fed up of the madness that has gripped our country. Every possible logical fallacy is employed to defend the clueless socialist, divisive and Anglophobic administration by their cult followers". And boy oh boy if you want to know anything about Scottish politics, the SNP are a quasi-religious cult. When not texting young boys or getting pissed and trying it on with the nearest member of staff wearing a skirt.
I just love, love, love this song!!!!!!! It also perfectly fits to the German situation and politics!!! I need to listen that song all the time. Is it possible to download it anywhere?? Sell it!!!!
As an outsider who visited Scotland, I’m American, I think the fact that 45% of voters wanted independence is a big deal that is completely ignored by Westminster .... if 45 out of 100 people want to completely declare their independence, something is very wrong in the relationship ... I believe that’s the percentage of colonials who felt grieved by Britain and fought the war for independence in 1776
"In what way is it completely ignored?" Yes I'm intrigued by this to.. Does he mean because some perpetually grievance mongering bigot with no lips said it, to stoke another grievance, it must be true?
Would solve soo many things if we got Indy, remember its indy from the Westminster government and its archaic ways, no issues with our english neighbors, your all welcome up here
@@Scotlad88 no it wouldn't . Seperates us from a mainly solid economy, and forces us to provide off Scottish industries, the largest one probably oil, a declining industry.

Come on up, my friends. You can't possibly endure this shite for five years.
Got to convince my mum to go back home to Scotland
We can’t endure it for five minutes.

Been here almost three years. best decision of my life,
It looks like you've found your "forever home". I'll always welcome our neighbours here and hoping more of you make the move up. ✌️
For me it is now 55 years. No regrets either. I still keep close contact with English friends and relatives.

Go back
English born and bred, from south of London but have lived in Scotland for 27 years now. I love it and whilst I am sad about being so far away from my family, I would not want to move back.
It's the "There isn't room for us in Wales" that makes this true art
Why? :(
Just been offered a job in Caithness so I've been singing this all day!!
Been in scotland 4 years now....love it the most beautiful country
Bullshit. Marks called Scottish people rase scums. Sorry he said that
And the nicest people you will ever meet.
Go back
It would be paradise if not for the weather...

SNP...Another excellent choice.

You're welcome in Scotland... probably Wales too... anytime you like, big man.

Yer bloody welcome here Mitch. love yer song dude.
Literally me, three years ago. Pro tip: move to the northeast. I went to Dundee where it's always sunny.
Lol. Dundee is just east.
Always sunny?...... send some of that sun down to Fife would you 😁.
That's just a different type of rain, laddie.

Nice to catch this live in Edinburgh at Bannerman’s the other day, even if I was the Englishman in the audience.
I 👏 Love 👏 This 👏 Song!!!👏
It's nice to be Scottish 🏴❤️
Please release this as a single, it's an Xmas number one with the help of social media!
I am ACTUALLY moving to Scotland from the USA to be with my fiancee. This was fantastic!
While the English piss away all that they had...I could weep....
This is absolutely epic. I'm genuinely considering moving to Scotland, as soon as is reasonably feasible.
I needed to hear this just before New Year... :-(
It's an odd feeling, watching your own country deliberately put itself on the wrong side of history...
Genius.
Absolutely brilliant Mitch!
This is class!
Is that a deliberate Proclaimers influence I hear in the chorus, or is it just my imagination?

I really like the Anthony Newly/ Bowie style vocals at the end of some of the lines. Very good indeed/.
Anthony Newley/Bowie love you whoever you are
Mon up, we've work to do 🏴
Brilliant 🏴
So glad I moved up before the rush!
I recommend it, Scotland is the best country there is. Used to live there.
This man is one of us.
Love it.. listening to it has convinced me to consider moving back North of the Border myself!!
Are ye still considering, or are ye on your way yet?

I’m not sure why I love this song (and the video) so much, but I do. As usual, your facial expressions crack me up.
been here 16 years, love it.
Serously thinking about it. It's only 29 miles away, I have friends. Always liked Eyemouth. Except there's no chippy.
There’s a chippy on the Main Street along from the coop
@@CapperDeluxe Is that new?
We'll take ye pal, everybody's welcome.
And once all the Southerners move out it'll turn into new London :)
I say let them rebuild Hadrians wall. Look at the amount of land that they would be giving to Scotland
Wish I could come too, would like to, I love it up there.
Still bloody relevant today Mitch. Im sick of the politically sleeping.
Great just fabulous
