Christmay Day Glencoe Scottish Highlands Of Scotland [02:01]
Tour Scotland video shot on Christmas Day in Glencoe on visit to the Scottish Highlands. This Scottish glen is considered to be one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland. The name Glen Coe is often said to mean Glen of Weeping, perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. Glen Coe was originally part of the lands of Clan Donald, though since the ending of the clan structure they progressively sold off their estates. Early in the morning of the 13th of February, 1692, in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution and the Jacobite uprising of 1689 led by John Graham of Claverhouse, a massacre took place in Glen Coe, in the Highlands of Scotland. This incident is referred to as the Massacre of Glencoe which began simultaneously in three settlements along the glen, Invercoe, Inverrigan, and Achnacon, although the killing took place all over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. Thirty-eight MacDonalds from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by the guests from the Campbell Clan who had accepted their hospitality. They were killed on the grounds that the MacDonalds had not been prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, William and Mary. Another forty women and children died of exposure after their homes were burned.

Restored Archway Scone Palace Perth Perthshire Scotland [02:12]
Tour Scotland video of the now restored Historic archway on visit to Scone Palace by Perth, Perthshire. This ancient Scottish archway, which was almost completely destroyed by a careless delivery van driver, is thought to have once been the entrance to the Augustinian abbey where a succession of Scottish monarchs were crowned, and may have stood since 1114, when the abbey was founded by King Alexander I. The archway took two years to restore.

Scotland 1 Scone Palace il palazzo dei re [05:00]
Ci sono pochi posti in Scozia, storicamente importanti come Scone Palace. Quando si visita Scone Palace si cammina sulle orme dei padri fondatori della Scozia antica, sia pagani che cristiani. E' stato un luogo importante di raduno religioso dei Pitti, ed è stato il sito di una chiesa paleocristiana. Robert the Bruce è stato incoronato a Scone nel 1306 e l'ultima l'incoronazione è stata di Carlo II, quando ha accettato la corona scozzese nel 1651. Il luogo di incoronazione fu chiamato Caislean Credi, "Collina della credulità", l'attuale Moot Hill. La Pietra di Scone - conosciuta anche come la Pietra del Destino ha una storia oscura. Tradizionalmente si dice sia stato cuscino di Giacobbe quando vide gli angeli di Bethel. La spiegazione più probabile è che si trattava di una pietra reale portata da Antrim ad Argyll e poi a Scone da Kenneth MacAlpin, il 36° re di Dalriada. E' stata posta sulla collina Moot e utilizzata nelle incoronazioni dei re di Scozia fino alla fine del 13° secolo, quando fu rimossa e portata nell'Abbazia di Westminster. Nel 1996, la Pietra è stata finalmente restituita al popolo della Scozia quando il governo britannico si trasferì nel Castello di Edimburgo. La Pietra di Scone è stata usata l'ultima volta in occasione dell'incoronazione della regina Elisabetta II - e così compie ancora il suo dovere antico, e per effetto di gran lunga maggiore, incoronando non solo il monarca degli scozzesi, ma di Gran Bretagna, Canada, Australia e Nuova Zelanda.
