I Said the Wrong thing in Scotland

I said the wrong thing in Scotland. Today was day 10 of my British Isles cruise on the Regal Princess and we made port in South Queensferry. Our excursion took us to Braveheart country where we explored the site of the Battle of Bannockburn and Stirling castle. All was well until I said the wrong thing and was quickly scolded. Enjoy the adventure.

Being Scots I had a little smile when you described William Wallace as 'having passed away' before Robert The Bruce defeated the English at Bannockburn. His death by execution was 'Hanged Drawn & Quartered' which you may like to look up and decide that 'passed away' was a tad mild description.

😂😂😂

She was in character and telling you that “in Scotland, everyone believes the Unicorn is real” was part of the period belief and not what us modern day Scots believe 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[isabelstokes]

I'm so proud of my wee country. I have heard so many times that strangers come here and feel at home; you are. We Scots are renowned for our friendliness. Welcome!

[ianangus]

😂 I think you were introduced to the Scottish Matriarchal sense of humour! The women of that beautiful land love nothing better than making sure the males know their place, I have experienced it all my life 😂

My son was an archaeologist working on the restoration of the castle. It was fascinating hearing about it. It’s a beautiful castle. We do love our Unicorns. Once you know they are the National Animal you’ll notice they are everywhere in Scotland, from ancient carvings, paintings and on banners. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄

Oh tut tut Tony! 😂 We’re a proud bunch when it comes to our monsters and unicorns. But I’m surprised she didn’t say that the unicorn is our National animal. You’ll be forgiven though, trust me 😂

[Zaquria]

Mate, she was pulling your pisser and was having a bit of fun with you! 🤣

We Scot's have a pretty dry sense of humour at times, and she was probably said it with a straight face but laughing inside. 😜

Can’t imagine it was a series scolding ! As a Scotsman I thought they were mythical . Glad you seeing Scotland at its best . Weather fantastic - it’s not always this good !

[vickymcginnis]

What an excellent tour. Thank you for sharing it. Beautiful countryside, great history. I do think your "scolding" was a bit tongue-in-cheek. It keeps the romantic notion alive. Great tourist fodder.

[GenevaVollrath]

By the way the Unicorn is the national animal of Scotland and the dragon is the Welsh national animal. You gotta believe!

[JimW-gtqp]

Ha ha, I suspect she was just keeping in character but brilliant answer from her !

Tony, thanks for the clip of the choir. My church choir is going to the UK to sing in a few weeks. We have one week at St. Mary’s in Edinburgh and then one week at St. Paul’s in London. Can’t wait to sing in these great cathedrals. Thanks for these wonderful videos of the UK.

Well done on an excellent video, on my family's city of Stirling and where I lived for several years as a child, then moved away with my father's career. though returned periodically to visit relatives. The weather was good for you on that day, as can be seen on the views from the Castle. It was a superb trip down Memory Lane for me, so Thank You.

My wife and I did this cruise last year on Princess Cruises and we took a train on our own to Stirling it was one of the highlights of an amazing trip. The people of Scotland could not be nicer and more friendly to chat with. Looks like you are all having a fantastic time as well.

[letyeentertainme]

Was in the same castle last year, Scotland is absolutely enchanting. So nice to see where my heritage comes from.

[beckynewport]

Ireland & Scotland are high on my bucket list, especially Scotland as it is also in my family heritage. Thank you for sharing your experiences, love the quips of humor in each episode.

[emilydami]

I've been to Scotland but never saw that. Have to go back. If you want to get emotional go to Culloden where the highlanders were defeated.

[chuckspencer]

You just have to watch out for those wild unicorns in Scotland... 😂 .... and yes Tony B, I said "wow" at the same time you did... That view from the lookout over the land was just beautiful!!!❤

[hazelmcfarlane]

Tony, loved this video, I grew up just outside South Queensferry and you don't appreciate how beautiful it is until you leave. Glad you had a great time
