okay so it's the name of me and it's a
birthday or a very famous Scottish
person so I'm gonna give you a Scottish
fairytale and a puzzle to work and of
course if you stick with me then at the
end I'll give you a suggestion for a
fantastic way to spend a day out in
Scotland come on hi I'm Brittany from
Scotland history tours if you're
interested in the people events and
places in Scottish history and you want
some great ideas about places to visit
in Scotland then subscribe to my youtube
channel and click on the notification
bill that way you'll be notified every
time I make a new YouTube video in the
meantime let me tell you a story now
Scotland's a wondrous place with
mystical beasts from kelpies and
mountain walkins to bigger beasts by the
banks of Loch Ness friendly fear these
patty Google's Fennville brownies and
the pigley minor ben macdui
I even heard of an English woman that
came to Scotland and discovered a school
for Witchcraft and Wizardry
there's gold in them there hills oh I
should also say thanks to chance from
computers for lending me is DJI Osmo
pocket camera to help film and today I'm
not gonna lie I've got no idea what a
DJI Osmo pocket camera but that's the
kind of service you get from you
computers okay so in Scotland we have
mythical beasts but we also have other
theory stories
imagine and the humble weavers host that
goes on to be a generous charitable
benefactor that's a fairy tale isn't it
our particular character went on to have
schools named after him in London and
the United States of America can you
guess who it when somebody goes from
such humble beginnings to become a
barony of the realm then that is like a
fantasy isn't it now a baronet ranks
higher than a knight but you would call
this person sir or demon for that matter
and in this case the this tailor was
awarded to this person and by King
George the fifth and 1913
any closer this person rubbed shoulders
would agree in good celebrities abounded
and the spare in this person's circle in
actual fact he damnit I've given clear
the fact that's a meal okay he was the
Godfather of the son of Robert Falcon
Scott Scott of inner Antarctica in fact
in Captain Scott's last few hours he
wrote a letter to our hero asking him
after his death to look after Scott's
wife and children
now our baronet was so proud of that
letter that he kept it on his person all
the way through his life right up until
his death and burial back home here in
Angus
her character loved cricket in fact put
together his own knock about social
cricket team which included now get this
HG Wells Roger Kipling
Arthur Conan Doyle PG woodhouse and
loads of other great writers of the
Victorian era quite an achievement in
from being born in a Weaver's cottage
here and carry me on the 9th of May 1862
have your own blue badge at 100
Bayswater Road London certainly quite an
achievement upon scope of ac/dc Fame
although I'm told they never met just in
case he needed one more clue fairy
stories always have an element of
tragedy when our protagonist was six his
elder brother died and an ice-skating
accident the day before his 14th
birthday
his mum was distraught at the loss of
our favorite son our young lad James
said that his mom continued to talk to
his elder brother even after he was dead
he himself even imitated the boy just to
make his mum feel proud our favorite son
was frozen in time he wasn't mean a boy
forever he would be the boy that never
grew up
and so the boy who never grew up was
first introduced in a book that was
published in 1902 and the name of that
book of course was you've got a little
white bark and of course a character
from some of the central chapters of
that book was expanded in his own book
and then that was expanded into play and
then there was a bleep look forward that
and then there was films and then there
was all sorts of spin-offs but I think
we all know that the name of the
characters of course pizza and he was a
character that was invented by Scott's
greater GM body he was born and grew up
and this Weaver's cottage here nobody
got further inspiration for Peter Pan
from some boys and a family email in
London and I'm not gonna go into that
aspect of the story because that's
covered very well and a very good film
with Johnny dick playing GM body called
Finding Neverland you'll get to own
you'll get an Amazon frame and the point
is going watch that if you want to find
it over that aspect of the story in the
meantime much coastal I remember once
should around an Indian Couple I think I
was taking them on a whiskey too and
every time I would tell them about some
Great Scott from history some fantastic
inventor what an engineer or a writer
you know you've had a book they would go
all yes we've heard with him we thought
they were English but how many people
are watching this though the same thing
about G M body tell me in the comment
section below I'd love to hear
in the film fainted never was and never
mentioned the GM body was Scottish
although to be fair Johnny there did
make a reasonable attempt
Scottish accent certainly better than
Mel Gibson and Braveheart
the film did point to the generosity of
GM Bari and it was some foresight the
captain Scott had to select the somebody
to look after it's waving children some
D that the generosity the Scots are
famed for
what's he saying Manny I can't hear them
now in case you think I'm lip-syncing
here because a traffic noise when
filming let me tell you that here what I
said is that James is religious pins
wanted them to go into the ministry but
at the age of six James put on a play in
the wash house in this cottage and he
knew he wanted to be a writer when he
was an admiral University he wrote drama
reviews for the Edinburgh Evening
Khurram after graduation he worked as a
journalist and nottingham but also wrote
stories and a scottish killing our
tradition for a London newspaper thus
commenced the writing career of a
Scotsman who would become one of the
most prolific literary figures and
Victorian times and it all began here in
a Weaver's cottage in cara mia' and ends
in the cemetery and the same Scottish
town I mentioned GM Barney's generosity
long before putzie beer or children in
need body Denis the proceeds from the
Peter Pan copyright the Great Ormond
Street Hospital so more than a hundred
years after Peter Pan was first staged
and written GM Bari continues today
degree honestly Hospital from beyond the
grave
as an easy trip from Paris or than B or
Aberdeen to come here to kill in Europe
you go visit the GM body birthplace
museum as a national trust monument you
might come up here to the cemetery for
his gravestone as well signposted
and here you'll find where the circle of
life was finally
now that's not the only thing to do in
killing Europe
you can certainly spend a dear and
pinning your in fact at some point in
the future I'll do a video all about
Kelly Muir and all the things you could
do on a deal without leaving the tank
but Kitty is the gateway to the Glen's
and I want to take you there for one
last story when GM Barney was 20 and and
lived in London I'm guessing he wouldn't
take a keen interest in a case that
arrived at the House of Lords there but
originated and the Glen's that he grew
up there if you take this road the be
name five five Akeley Muir after about
half an hour you get to a beautiful spot
I'm gonna take it to you called Glen
clover and beyond that going gone and
that's where the story comes from
the road is closed
okay so that's a bit embarrassing the
road was closed the day of her visit so
let me tell you what it was good it's
hell yeah with some background pictures
of the area right super angling clover
head tail there's a path and a we have
our what will take you up to walk Brandi
for a bit skinny-dipping your granny and
lover no to the left of the hotel the
route when it's open will take you up
there Glenn dole carpark and Ranger
bassist know you'll find a picnic area
there and the start of a walk whether
it's not for the likes of me
it's an old Rovers road that goes 14
males who were Bremen it's known as
jocks Road and then the reason is known
as jocks Road is that jock when I was a
shepherd who used to bring his sheep
along that road and in the late 19th
century a certain Duncan McPherson came
back rich from Australia and bought the
Glendora State now as the landowner he
put a ban on the hoi polloi such as jock
walking over his land but job defied the
ban
no it went to court or david-and-goliath
jobs got no chance Joe did get the
support from the Scottish Rite we
society and after lots of court battles
and lots of money the case ended up in
the House of Lords Oh what happened what
happened what happened choc won this
battle
tada pow not only did McPherson lose his
keys but bankrupted them in the process
I'd like to thank the 28 year old GM
body the London playwright and killing
your lad would have had a smile at that
