Good morning Bruce from Jamaica. The burial by the Molindiner was one of the stories of Mungo that I was taught at primary school in Glasgow in the 1940s.We were also taught about the coat of arms and the rhyme about the symbols. I have heard that it is no longer taught in schools My grandad and other family members lived for 60 years in the building that carries the St Mungo mural. And many buried in St, Kentigern cemetary. It makes me feel connected .
I'm an elder ginger (though now mostly white) haired American who has visited many major cities around the world. Glasgow is my favorite city. What I enjoy is that Glaswegians actually speak to visitors and are interested in other people. I met a cab driver who told me all about his granny who had moved to the Stares and was then the oldest resident of Boston, Massachusetts. I must look like a local because visitors will ask me for directions, which I sometimes know. A wonderful place.
My Grans sister moved to America and with her husband opened shops that sold Tartan, apparently done quite well selling in America. I had been from a small village called Ormiston just outside Edinburgh. At a time I enjoyed Edinburgh. Sadly the over pricing of shops and major stores rates forced many out. These days Edinburgh has cheap rubbish stores focused on tourism in Princess Street, the Waverley market is a dump with seagulls walking around the food court, basically flying rats. The Royal Mile looks filthy, spray painted walls and rubbish everywhere. Some capital city. Not many tourist cities have that level of filth littered down historic streets. Glasgow is definitely the city to visit for shopping with far better stores and shopping experience. I'd definitely suggest up here around the Cairngorms and Inverness if you enjoy the countryside. I may work in the city but I love the countryside, the rivers, mountains and whats left of our forests up here. I'd love similar areas in America but cities such as New York wouldn't appeal to my wife and I. Open forest and fly-fishing would be what I'd enjoy. There is a decent gillie in Grantown on Spey if your ever interested in Salmon and Trout fishing. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Bruce, another superb video! As a Glaswegian, it’s always nice when someone says nice things about my city, so thank you very much. They two pellets who didnae know which way to go when you were filming up at the Cathedral were clearly fae some dark, scary place…….mibbe Lanarkshire……mibbe Renfrewshire……who knows.
Good to see the Antonine wall at Camelon/Tamfourhill. We used to play there as bairns and it only seems unreal now that we were arsing about in an ancient Roman fortification!
Fantastic! I moved to Glasgow from Dundee a couple of years ago and have always wondered where the phrase "Let Glasgow flourish" came from and why there is a fish on the citys coat of arms! When I think of Glasgow's history I think it as the city of empire etc. What a fantastic pre union..pre Scotland history the city has!
Hi Bruce, another really great tale, please keep producing them, your band of history is illuminating , educational, thought provoking and witty. Looking forward to seeing you (again) at the Good Chat Comedy Club in Brisbane on February 27th. I've purchased 14 tickets for my pals, and I expect that Murphy's Pigs will also attend. Robbo
First King Lot put Tannis in a cart and rolled her down a hill, crashing into a large boulder and smashing into pieces. She was left untouched, and St Katherines spring in Shotts emerged from under her. Throwing her into the firth was second. Mungo built his mom a home called tannochside, and the gate into town from the west was called Tanney's gate. Tannis' younger brother, sir Gowain, was King Arthur's top Knight and has the most tales in the Aurtorian collections. Great stuff, thanks for getting me started.
It’s certainly true that many Glaswegians like myself of a certain vintage know the rhyme, but equally not many will know the full story unless they were lucky in the teachers they had of watch this excellent video. I wonder if children these days are taught about how my home city came to be? As always thanks 🙏 for your sharing of the knowledge.
Love your wee videos, I really would have loved this type of Scottish history at school. Maybe I would have stayed at school instead of well you know just not going. I re-tell your stories to my grandkids they sit eyes wide open ingrossed in your facts. Thank you for sharing take care.
Madainn mhath! (hope thats right!) Awesome as usual Mr. Fummey! I'm just facinated with that period of British history from about 300 to 800. That 500-year period is just frustratingly so very cool. My first intro was Robert Graves rendering of the Gododdin and The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy. That brief glimpse into that very fascinating North British Heroic Age hooked me.
@johnmclean1046 I'd have to look it up in the documents I have. He was living in Howat Street near the Fairfield Shipyard when he joined up in WW2 but that's not where they were living when he was born. I remember visiting my grandmother there in the 1950s she moved out to Kirkintilloch about 1959 when Govan was redeveloped. My grandad died in 1939 so I never met him. Let me know if you need to know the street ( and why)
@@Wee_Langside I’m from Govan and I was just wondering, I was just commenting on a photo the other day showing Howat st and the big long wall of the shipyards, nowadays Govan means areas like the winey etc but when I was a boy it was very localised e.g Govan rd, Shaw st, Langlands rd, but yes I knew Howat st in fact it’s still standing.
@johnmclean1046 I know my grandparents were married at Govan Parish Church. Which doesn't mean he was born there I suppose. I think my grandfather was at Fairfield most of his working life. I have clear memories of Howat St especially the shared toilet on the landing. I have Govan is due for redevelopment again soon.
@@Wee_Langside I was born in 63 and brought up in Harmony row and my uncle had a shop on the corner of Howat st / Govan rd but it’s a sorry state now. Aye the old ootside toilets gawd they were grim lol 😂
The Folklore Scotland website gives a version of the dying man who was buried at the spot that became Glasgow. The sources they give for their info on St. Mungo are :- Jennifer Westwood and Sophia Kingshill 'The Lore of Scotland: A guide to Scottish legends' (2009), and Allison Galbraith 'Lanarkshire Folk Tales' (2021). Hopefully this jogs a memory for ya Brucey.😁
Nice vid. I was told by a historian that Mungo founded a Christian community in Glasgow but on his death asked to be put in the cart and buried wherever it stopped. Apparently the site became a pilgrimage destination. Over time, this original structure evolved into the Cathedral
By the grace of God, I was born in Glasgow (thanks, God) but I'd never heard the half of this history until now. For one thing, I had no idea that St. Enoch was a woman! Great episode, Bruce. Cheers!
According to Allison Galbraith's: Lanarkshire Folk Tales, it was Fergus of Kearnach (near St Ninians in Stirling) who had a Holy vision and waited for Mungo to swing by before snuffing it, leaving instructions to cart his body westwards into the badlands. They met 2 Christian monks (Telleyr & Anguan) who told them that he couldn't bury Fergus by the Molandear as it was a Druidic grove, but he did it anyway. And supposedly 'did away' with anyone who tried to practice the Old Religion there. Oh, and the chap that Queen Languoreth (Merlin's sister) had a fling with and gave her ring to, was the Laird o' Lee.
As a Glaswegian now living in Wales, near St Asaph, I have always been fascinated by the link between St Kentigern, and the Cathedral established in Wales by him. St Asaph Cathedral has the same legends of birds and bells, but located in nearby locations, not Scotland. St Mungo must have told his stories to the Welsh too 😊
There is a legend that Ninian, about AD400, came up from Whithorn ,preaching the gospel, and crossed northwards at St the Ford of the Clyde. He dedicated there a cemetery for monks . This is where Mungo planted his chapel, at the site of the later high altar of the cathedral.
Aye Bruce. A great story of kings, princesses and priests. Their real personas are lost to time, but we have their legends, and that's enough, perhaps...well if ye must top me up once more...
The story of Mungo and his funeral cart may have come from the book "Druid Sacrifice" by Nigel Tranter. Who was a brilliant story teller. Not sure where he got the story from - he may have used a bit of 'poetic licence'. Either way it's still worth a read.
I always thought Mungo was a nickname (my first reference to a Mungo is Mungo Park of Musselburgh; one of the first pro golfers). The things I learn. I need to get to Scotland....
Another school day for me (and "like" emoji duly clicked) but, naughty boy, Bruce! Not saying it out loud but suggesting in the subtitles that the name of the Queen of Alt Clut was something else that rhymes with dagger! ☺
Can we name check Limekilns in Fife as where you started your video? A pretty wee place in its own right. Excellent summary of early medieval Britain. Traquair also very pretty and worth a visit.
My grandmother, Nana, was a girl from County Clare who married a Northumbrian man who ran a shipyard on the Tyne that she took over when he died during WW1. She joked that the best thing out of Scotland was the road, but she loved the Glaswegians, probably due to her contacts there through shipbuilding. When I visit Scotland I always stay in or near Glasgow which I love, can not abide Edinburgh, full of entitled nobodies who like Londoners think the country owes them a living.
Hi Bruce. I have often thought about visiting Glasgow. I nearly did a few years ago to visit an old army buddy, but he succumbed to cance. My only concern these days is accessibility. Can you please tell me how I can research the sites that maybe available to me? I am considering hiring your talents for a day as I did in Ayr.
If you're meaning accessibility I'm guessing that most modern tourist attractions will have that. I'm guessing websites will confirm. Look at the hop on hop off bus routes for an indicator of some of the groovy places to visit
Every person in Scotland today must surely acknowledge that John Knox formed the Scotland we know today. To all Scots, Catholic or Protestant, everyone christians. Emperor Consntantine or John Knox , the lord Jesus is our saviour. One word is true..the word of the new testemont.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours "Dam Scots RUINED Scotland!" and I say that as an actual Scot, LoL. My direct ancestor Alexander Robertson had a brother called Duncan that with other Jacobite Scots was recruited by Tsar Peter the Great to be a Colonel in the Russian Imperial Army and stayed in Russia. Jacobites also held positions of rank in the Imperial Russian Navy.
13:02 You missed one mural (In the Calton)... ruclips.net/video/Jull_2PwPvI/видео.html St Mungo's mum was called St Thenue, as well as St Enoch. ...Ah, you did go on to mention St Enoch, to your credit. 😀...you still missed the Mural though. 😉
So, if it hadn't been the Nordic's, sailing out of Dublin, sacking Alt Clut / Dumbarton Rock / Dumbarton Castle, driving things fifteen miles eastwards to what became Glasgae, Dumbarton would now be on everybody's map? Which, if you look at its location, history (crannogs, river Leven, capital of Strathclyde, glass making, building the Cutty Sark, Denny's, Flying Boats, experimental hovercraft, Westclox, Ballentine's whisky) and its glorious surroundings it should be, rather than the scruff hole-it has been for the last seventy years...
Somebody pass this on to GCC because those muppets dont have a clue about the history of the "High street" and thats why theve turned it in to a total embarrassment!
Aye and Labour were a ray of sunshine when they were in charge.Put the country in debt to £32billion with ppi,and JackieBaillie paying out £2.5 milli to lawyers so that woman wouldn’t have equal pay.Reading too many colonial papers.
Your Brythonic/ Cymraeg pronunciation would benefit from understanding how ‘u’ is pronounced in Welsh… it’s basically ‘ugh’ and you have to stick your tongue out when you say it .! Also LL is pronounced by blowing air though the side of your mouth…Allt Clud ( the hill of the Clyde) sounds a lot better this way. Rhydderch Haul ( haul means generous/ giving) of Glas Gae (the Blue Field) is a common ancestor to us too. Diolch yn fawr …diddorol iawn 👍🏴
@@Sammyandbobsdadno need for you to stoke anymore of the football bigotry from thousands of miles away with no skin in the game. And nope Celtic and other teams named the same, refers back to Irish history and heritage, and is pronounced with the s sound now, and historically. The k sound comes from Greek and Classical Latin pronunciation of the Celt people from Europe.

This is a comment for the Algo boost!
Guid lad
I was hoping the princess was going to be St Sauchie! Which begs the question what or where was Sauchiehall?
The sauchie haugh or willow meadow from which the street derives its name was probably a low-lying area
So St Mungo is essentially Perseus. What is the link with Merlin?
So, if it hadn't been the Nordic's, sailing out of Dublin, sacking Alt Clut / Dumbarton Rock / Dumbarton Castle, driving things fifteen miles eastwards to what became Glasgae, Dumbarton would now be on everybody's map?
Which, if you look at its location, history (crannogs, river Leven, capital of Strathclyde, glass making, building the Cutty Sark, Denny's, Flying Boats, experimental hovercraft, Westclox, Ballentine's whisky) and its glorious surroundings it should be, rather than the scruff hole-it has been for the last seventy years...

Your Brythonic/ Cymraeg pronunciation would benefit from understanding how ‘u’ is pronounced in Welsh… it’s basically ‘ugh’ and you have to stick your tongue out when you say it .! Also LL is pronounced by blowing air though the side of your mouth…Allt Clud ( the hill of the Clyde) sounds a lot better this way. Rhydderch Haul ( haul means generous/ giving) of Glas Gae (the Blue Field) is a common ancestor to us too. Diolch yn fawr …diddorol iawn 👍🏴
happy to help
But the real question. The noble Celtics or the vile Rangers?
There's no s in Celtic... unless your from Boston🤔
@ well, true enough (I’m from Los Angeles. However, it’s also pronounced Kuh not Ssss, but that doesn’t stop people from saying it the wrong way.
@@Sammyandbobsdadno need for you to stoke anymore of the football bigotry from thousands of miles away with no skin in the game.
And nope Celtic and other teams named the same, refers back to Irish history and heritage, and is pronounced with the s sound now, and historically. The k sound comes from Greek and Classical Latin pronunciation of the Celt people from Europe.
@ good to know. Thank you.
