My great great great great grandfather was John MacPherson of Knoydart Scotland who fought in the battle of Culloden and came to Nova Scotia Canada in 1792. There was two other families MacDonalds who also fought in the battle of Culloden that came to Nova Scotia. The three families lived in Knoydart Nova Scotia. So much rich Scottish history in Nova Scotia.

My grandmother was Scottish. We were extremely close. She lived with us for a time. I loved her wisdom. She was a great lady & adored by the entire family. Her family was from Edinburgh. I will never forget the lady. Thank you for reminding me of the spirit of Scotland. I am proud to have Scottish blood in my veins.

I would love to visit Scotland before I pass. My ancestors hail from Scotland and I feel a deep kinship to all things Scottish. This was a fantastic tour and I appreciate you taking the time to tour this museum and sharing it with us.

Hello, I am a descendant of James Douglas also known as “The Black “ my Douglas ancestors migrated to the colonies in 1700 and set up life in North Carolina, I never was interested in genealogy till a few yrs ago and I am so very interested in my Scottish heritage. I watch videos like this to learn about my ancestors and how they lived life.

My Spanish/Puerto Rican father raised me with the language and culture. Never knew much about my mom. Only that she could be Irish or German.

The other night I discovered I’m half Scottish through Ancestry.. this is so beautiful and fascinating. Hopefully one day, I can visit.
Scotland has a such a rich and intact history, Im in awe .

❤
Thank you for sharing this !

My goodness, it's so beautiful 🥺❤ I recently discovered that I have alot of Scottish ancestry 😊 I'm learning all I can. When the Scottish came to America, they were good friends with the Cherokee. They lived and worked side by side and intermarried. The similar ways they lived is really interesting!! Thank you!! 😊❤

Listening to English spoken with the Scottish accent is like listening to music. Thank you for the photography and narration. Lovely 🌹

Thank you for this tour. It's a reality check for most of us who never knew what our ancestors no doubt lived through. My family lived in Scotland, we think the northern part, slowly moving to Canada then to the US a 150 yrs ago. It was heart warming to hear my grand father who still had a bit of his Scottish accent; just a few words that he automatically spoke that sounds somewhat like you. SCOTLAND is beautiful to be sure, but wasn't an easy way of life in times past. This was wonderful & I love your videos of this beautiful country. Thank you!!!

We have similar open-air museums in Germany. They are a fantastic way to get a feel for how everyday life used to be. Standing in a real room where generations have lived and worked, seeing the light through the windows, the old utensils, breathing the air in such a house, gives impressions that are not possible through a book, photos or films.

Superb John. Love the old traditional buildings.
It's sad that people didn't and still haven't learned to live alongside the animals we share the planet with.

[SouthernRebel]

WOW!!! John that was an AMAZING TOUR🥰 my favorite part was the 1700’s. I can only imagine how hard life was back then. The Scottish are most definitely a hardy people. It was something to see how the changes in time took place. Thank you again for an amazing tour. Sent this to a friend of mine who has Scottish roots.

[peggylosacco]

6:42 I have a picture of myself with that woollen plait hanging onthe door, over my head like long plaits. A great living museum well worth a visit.

[FOXFamily]

Beautiful. Amazing still in 2024 places like this still exists. Preserving history is important. I have a fondness for Scotland though I've never been there.

[mollyfritz-beckers]

What a valuable educational tool. You are right about how completely the site transports the visitor back in time. Thank you, John.

[susanmartinez]

Thank you for showing how my father's ancestors lived. So interesting and very hard life back then.

[jerryodell]

Thanks for showing how our Ancestors lived so many years ago. So much information today tells how our Ancestors battled each other when their clans were angry. Ancestorial Grandfather fighting Ancestorial Grandfather. It is so good to see they loved Family and lived, played, and worked somewhat normal lives for the time.

What a great tour of the Highland Folk museum. An amazing place to give you a true picture of life then 😊 Thanks John 👍
