tell you a story now vapor castle is the
most visited Castle in Scotland
donata must be the most dramatic and
windswept in two events 167 years of
park link this day and these two castles
last year 1.7 million people visited
Edinburgh Council and most of them
dutifully stood and queued as they
waited to fail past the crown jewels the
owners of Scotland the sword the sector
and the crime
the sword was a gift to James afforded
by pope julius ii the scepter was a
gifted James the forth by Pope Innocent
they eat and the crown had certainly
been in existence by the time of James a
fourth apparently
all three were first used together for
the coronation of Jesus granddaughter
the name month old meanie Queen of Scots
I know
nine months enemy I've watched people
queued they felt by the owners in the
past I'm often struck by the waist to
stand all that time and not Q only to
miss the point did you see this dawn oh
that big block of sandstone who was that
that was the trigger foul you know if
you've been in my castle as he returned
jewels either before or after the stone
was brought there what did you think
which is the most important tell me in
the comment section underneath let's get
a debate started so hadn't valuable are
the crown jewels how valuable are the
owners of Scotland just in case you ever
find yourself an Antiques Roadshow I can
answer that question
but let me answer it with two stories in
the 1650s Scotland phone itself and a
but of her trouble during the war of
three kingdoms they were civil war who
always hope it's gotta be about you
hasn't it for reasons it will cover in
another video after chance of first had
his head chopped off by Oliver
Cromwell's English parliamentarians the
Scots backed his son also named Charles
Charles the second was the last king to
be combed at school the ancient
inauguration place of Scottish monarchs
I think that just made them angry
Cromwell and his new model army invaded
Scotland with a ferocity not unlike the
Jacobite period two years after two
years the veil
place holding out with the not a castle
and if you look at the motor castle you
can understand why
now the owners of Scotland used for
Charlton seconds coordination had been
hidden in sacks of room and brought for
safety to this last although this last
safe place in Scotland that's how
valuable they win the Kings papers were
also taken there for safety but would
receive from Cromwell's army Cromwell
bleats each didn't alter what eight
months in a row Kioko we're not so much
as a couple of - walk what I made them
some theory was given to the leading the
council Elizabeth that was was I mean
she was a wife of Sir George or movie
the government and she wasn't loaded
occasional visitors and she took this
opportunity she got one of her visit and
relatives to saw the Kings papers inter
France and then walk through the
besieging troops and we hope and dealing
wheeze but what were the crown jewels no
I don't care what anybody sees you can't
carry off the same ruse with a clone a
scepter and a sword ooh is that a sword
in your pocket already use of Georgia
will be in drag so Elizabeth Douglas
gets a message to a friend Christian
Fletcher she's the wife of the minister
and the connect Chuck near buying and
what they do is the arrange that the
crown jewels will be lured from the
clefts at night and the servant of the
minister's wife or go down to the beach
and she'll pick them up when it shall
collect them in a basket which is don't
collect and see me right and the owners
of Scotland were hidden under the floor
of the connect Kirk for the next nine
years on the 26 of me 1652 the last
holdout against crombel surrendered but
the Cromwellian troops couldn't find the
honours of Scotland
there's a Georgia movie in Elizabeth
that was paid for their actions by being
imprisoned in the castle until for one
year but it was worth it in three months
before this they Cromwell had imposed a
union on Scotland incorporating it into
England shudders parliament and arcane
30 Scots MPs and the Westminster
Parliament
no of course that went by the way say it
was dissolved when Cromwell died but in
1707 a second union between Scotland and
England created the United Kingdom
everybody calmed in right some company
got stopped and Nick country's leaving
this place till we find it what country
did it okay
just let me tell the second story up
until 1707 the owners would meet in two
sittings in the Scottish Parliament you
know the one in the Royal Mint or not
the more than one day at the bottom
there one of the Royal Mail they were
taken to represent the king who was in
London since the union of crowns in 1603
right but after 1707 there was no
Parliament Mark's work remained in
London the owners were forgotten no in
the 19th century Sir Walter Scott was a
key figure in the revival of a new
acceptable brand of Scottish nurse
you know know that Colada news far
enough away to be forgotten and he was
given permission to rummage about in
Edinburgh Castle for cash in the attic
and he was given permission by the
grandson of that Hanoverian King that
clansmen had divided at Culloden and
after breaking through a war he ferried
a pail of linen and under the pail of
linen was a box and in the box he found
the crown jewels of Scotland
they'd leaned for over a hundred years
worthless and forgotten and on the 26th
of May 18-19 the weapon display
Edinburgh Castle
exactly one
hundred and sixty-seven years to the day
after chrome of troops had broken down
the doors and dunnottar castle to look
for them and now people p2q umbra
console and peer into hourglass keys to
see the sword the sector and the crane
and the one person but that's a story
for another day
what's the value of the owners of
Scotland they mean the world to me now
