Tell me about this area, particularly around the 1600's-1850's

I can trace my ancestry back to this area. Family of peasant farmers and carpenters

You are not Scottish. Fucking ancestryfags man.

tl;dr: during a famine all the women died and they imported new ones from Ireland.

Looks like Scotland is having explosive diarrhea.

No..no I am not scottish. I'm an American european mutt of English, Irish, Scottish, French, Prussian/German, Dutch and Bohemian ancestry.

I do have Scottish ancestry though...my last name is very Scottish

He has more Scottish ancestry in his body than anyone currently living in Scotland.

lots of industrial workers and carpenters, shit pay, treated like 2nd class citizens by britons

thats about it

My ancestors were from there as well. (I was born in Scotland, so no ancestryfag jokes). Argyll is scenic, underpopulated, and rainy and windy as all hell, but in summer is worth visiting for the little tourist towns and the distilleries.

Europeans in Europe mixed over thousands of years to. An Englishman takes a DNA test, and will always have Scottish,Irish,German,French,Dutch ancestry.

most of my Scottish ancestors immigrated to Ontario Canada around 1850

>researching your heratige is bad
>but muh pure Scottish heritage

...

>56% faggots claiming they're European again

Nothing happened there, then. Anything interesting in that part of the country involved Vikings, Gaels and Picts, or Irish peoole, all before that time period.

Except for that one nice lady who smuggled away the Bonnie Prince.

What do you need to know Senpai?

This my hood

Oh really?

You deserve every bit of Islamification

What was life like back then for the peasant farmer? What did they mostly farm? Can you tell me anything about Clan Campbell and Clan Lamont?

What can you tell me about the Isle of Mull and Lochgilphead? Was marrying your cousin common?

Was it always a relatively depopulated area?

just stop trying this hard
you'll never be europeans

it's always a fucking memeflaggot

A lot of that used to be börkbörk clay actually, I guess it got lost sometime during unions.

I remember that Hjaltland(Shetland) and Orkeyjar(Island of the Orcs, the Orkneys) were simply given a way by a drunkard danish priest basically for drunk debts .....

But I don't remember the story with Suðureyjar(The south islands, The Hebrids). The rule was from the old whatever land that wasn't attached there if you will, it was formulated with sailing ofc, that was under the King here. Many placenames all over those places come from here too, but not all though.

So user I don't know when the scotts got control over much of this land if it was in the 1500ds or what it was, I dunno. We did not rule our selves any longer then and the danes didn't give a shit

Ill start with the Clan's Campbell has some history in regards to Scottish history.

There is a famous story about Clansmen meeting up to unify and one clan killed the others in there sleep.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Glencoe

This still has some issues when booking a hotel room as a Campbell and any owners with the surname Mcdonald will refuse you to stay.

(nothing on Lamont) I grew up with some with 2nd name not particularly popular

Farming here back in the day would have been potato's and dairy /cow.

Isle of Mull and small Island places are weird by nature and the further you travel up north the more weirder they get. Small populations everyone knows everyone's business and they don't like outsiders.

Another map, I have really good ones of these in books back at home. Should really scan them because it's hard to find good and detailed online ones

I love how much playing EUIV has given me a greater grasp of geography

Kek
I haven't actually played it my self, but it looks cool. Been playing tons of strategy games over the years though

If your planning on visiting avoid Edinburgh it's essentially a poor mans dubai. It looks fantastic but it's a fake culture and not only is it garbage but there is no culture besides posh wankers and tourists.

Glasgow is a fantastic place for tourists IMO for nightlife or galleries.

Visiting the "Islands" are ok but prepare for disappointment not only are they barron but a few hours is enough nice to get away but you realize after a while it's garbage unless A. you can drive B. you don't mind being soaked sudden temperature changes and midgies

The islands are great for whisky distilleries so if you like the whisky the best stuff is on those islands Orkney,Mull etc

You cheapen our heritage and make it easier for other groups to claim European ethnicity when you go round showing off your stupid DNA tests. Just accept that you have no identity and no history. You're top dog now, that should be enough to compensate for it.

no need to purity spiral this hard, theres nothing wrong with being a mix of european races within reason

I have parents that have been going a lot over there the latter years and they liked glasgow very much.

This year they took a ferry that went in a lot of the islands and then even to Dublin, they probably stopped other places in Ireland but frankly I don't remember lol They like it very much there. Most people don't want to go to most of mainland europe anymore with all these rapefugees and so, not pleasant when you are on holiday

Within reason i will say the Fringe Festival is perhaps the only exception.

Depends what you like

you like castles > stirling edinburger
you like dancin > glasgow
you like golfin > ayrshire ,aberdeen
you like climbing mountains > Inverness
you like whisky > Islands
you like history > small towns
you like weird fetish sports like shinty > up north

Glasgow's not bad lot of idiots though like any other city. Not bad ethnically wise since us Scots usually have our finger on the pulse
>>black
>>probably dodgy

>Muh ancestry

What other colonial country does this? I never see Australians say "I'm le 59% English" or Argentians say "le 56% spanissshhhh"

You are a white American, accept that title

The kids here have a culture of imitating burgerlanders so i don't get it.

Seems to me any American you meet had a great great grandaddy from either Ireland or Scotland.

>>pic related

>no history
See, the rest of your comment I could maybe accept, but saying we have "no history" makes you just as ignorant as my fellow burgers.
We've only been around for less than 300 years but became a superpower, and there's somehow NO HISTORY in there? It just happened overnight?
Blow it out your ass Nigel, pick up a book and learn something. Hell my state was a country for 10 years and had its own war of independence, with all sorts of stories within.

while all you brits are here, can anyone tell me about Northamptonshire? can trace ancestry back there

Scottish people are LARPers who've seen Braveheart too many times. They have no heritage other than being communist dole dossers and cucks to the English. Americans with Scottish ancestry are typically double LARPers.

reminder that the we wuz william wallace
wallace means welsh, scotland = welsh clay confirmed

I struggle with EUIV. I tried playing it after CKII and the learning curve is steep. Especially since the dynasty focus isn't present.

Kek
Based actor played William Wallace.

English Historical Films (even if inaccurate like BraveHeart)

Kings Speech (Some Lispy Bastard)

Jog on sassanack

Yeah...for all you brits on here. One of my ancestors immigrated from County Kent...tell me a little about Kent

I don't know if Australia had a lot of other European settlers besides British desu. I know the Dutch were there but it's not like tons of Italians or Poles or whatever went. So they resemble more like America c.1900. I could be wrong though.

It's funny, I have a much harder time understanding CK2. I'm never sure what I should be doing in times of peace other than sending my chancellor to fabricate claims, I have no idea how to inherit land without war. On top of that, what are the benefits to any of the other succession laws besides primogeniture? It's always a struggle for me to just have one son until I can pass the primogeniture law just so everything isn't split up when my guy dies.
I also don't know which buildings are necessary, etc.
The sad part is I have a ton of dlc for CK2 in hopes that it would pull me back in, there's just something fundamental that I must be overlooking.

One thing the Welsh,Irish and Scots have in common is they fucking hate England.

The Germans
The French
The Spanish

All hate the English quite a common practice .

Scottishfag here, actually living in Scotland.
Your ancestors were of predominantly Irish-Gaelic-Danish stock, minimal anglo admixture.
The area never had a huge population and never industrialised in any major way. To this day it is some of the most beautiful, undeveloped land in Scotland.
Your ancestors were probably literate even if they were poor and did not own the land they worked. They probably ate excellently of the abundant seafood and cattle that sustained the area commercially. They also drank well sa the area boasted many distilleries, especially in the early 1800s when Campbeltown's whisky industry was at its peak.

Mods. The GoT and the Warhammer are the best two.

Gavelkind succession sucks. I hate it and it's mostly for autists who like to be "much historical immersion". It's guaranteed balkanization.

I'm a paternal descendant of Samuel Smiles. His book outsold Darwin's Origin of the Species. The Scottish Enlightenment produced some of the most important philosophical and academic thought of the 19th century and shaped the Anglospheric zeitgeist to this day.
A majority of the signatories of the American Declaration of Independence were Scottish or Scottish descended. How's that for heritage?

it deserves to be cheapened when you act like a whiny faggot, haggis breath.

who /100% pure scottish/

Some of the movie "Princess Bride" was filmed in Kent. I can't think of anything else I can say that you would find relatable or interesting.

god it must suck to be an amerimongrel

>tfw you will always be a mutt
:^)

My family used to control that area for hundreds of years. We worked with the jews in order to get back at Christian England. Read the book "When Scotland was Jewish" for proof.

I wish I shitting you.

lol ginger

...

t.

Is there anyone else who's just Anglo left here?

...

Are you folks jewish? Why shouldn't he be proud of such a glorious mix of European heritrages? Dumb kikes.

Were they catholic highlanders?

Presbyterians and Baptists

I'm Anglo-Catholic, family is originally from Yorkshire.

Me...sort of...I have compared my DNA results with that of Anglos in England and it matches what an Anglo's looks like.

My family has also been in the US for 300 years though...and I look Anglo/British as fuck according to /brit/ posters.

I am of course an amerimutt...but I think I am genetically an Anglo that was bread into a mutt, and then bread into an Anglo again.

historically there were a bunch of catholic highlanders, which was part of why they were so involved in the jacobite stuff

>One thing the Welsh,Irish and Scots have in common is they fucking hate England.
>let me tell you what you think
ive worked in scotland, wales and england and the most abuse ive ever heard between the countries is being a scot in england. ive been told YOU SHOULDNT BE HERE, THIS IS AN ENGLISHMANS JOB, YOU FUCKING JOCKS ARE PARASITES etc etc. in 20+ years in scotland ive heard somebody say something anti english maybe 2 or 3 times and its always been directed at one group, like 'fuck the tories' or 'fuck the bbc', the sort of thing youll hear all over england.

anglos all have mixed celtic, germanic and generic european dna anyway, so you could be mixed european and still match them

My dad was English and hated England, especially the red Labour Party scum. He loved Ronald Reagan and swore he'd never go back to the dreary socialist shit-hole, although he did go back to see his sisters once after Maggie Thatcher was elected.

Well most of the original stock was British of some sort, so that'd make sense. It was only with the later immigrants and taboos breaking down about marrying outside of ethnic groups/churches that Amerimutts took off.

Yes I know...It confuses me when I try to think of what I am...so I don't muhhh hurritage about it. I am just grateful to be 100% European...possibly the last 100% European in America.

Why would you consider yourself a mutt if you're 100% european LOL

Kent is famous for the port of Dover and subsequently illegal immigrants. They're an absolute scourge down there. Feel worse for Calais on the other side though

European is an origin and a heritage, it is not an ethnicity or a race.

You are an amerimutt and always will be a half breed nigger. Inter state marriages in Europe are frowned upon unless you're s liberal.

look you stupid wee dafty stop buying into pol memes

the muds stick to a few cities the rest of the island is free from it...like america,outside of detroit the rest of michigan is white for example

european isnt a race...you are either anglo saxon,jute,nord,norman,celtic,pict,slavic,greek or italian or a spaniard

all the ethnicities he listed are genetically closer than almost any other in the world.

I was the guy who posted this Respect my d*bs and read all of my posts before responding...or I will call the sharia police on you!

I just wish I was a fan of either.
Tolkien set the bar too high for me, I can't enjoy other fantasy settings lol

GoT mod is interesting in terms of the mechanics because they added a lot of shit like dueling, having pregnant characters drink abortifacients, and raping prisoners among other things.

When am I able to use retiunes? I have the Legacy of Rome DLC but the options are always greyed out even though it says I have a limit higher than zero, is it just a technology thing?

It's also dependent on your rank, amount of holdings, and the gold you have.

The eternal Anglo Marxist always tries to destroy the heritage of others.

what is that place in Scotland thats 70-80%??
Central Glasgow?
wtf man

fuck off commie cunt.
There is about one recorded Jew in Scottish history until the 1800s and a lot of Jews left Scotland for USA etc.

that story is for another time shart

I can't tell if this is shart satire or not
and you wonder why everyone makes fun of you guys

They make good scotch.

We could care less desu. The only thing that matters is whiteness. By the way, I'm not arguing for or against the merits of such a worldview, just describing.

...

>muh ancestors
t. 1/8 Scotish & 56% White

It's not uncommon. I'm Scottish, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Italian. My mother's maiden name is very obviously Scottish and my last name is americanized Russian in such a rare form that if I told you you could probably track me down based on the rest of this post alone.

The Campbells -
youtube.com/watch?v=xq6s-t3CUtk
youtube.com/watch?v=5FgJJX_2pLY

Lamont Castle - youtube.com/watch?v=cFndaeUCgWo

both clans have ties with Ulster I think, tracing their lineage to there.
The Campbells often sided with the English, were one of the largest and most warlike clans and were some of the first converts to protestantism.

I'm so offended by being a part of the greatest country on earth

>He has more Scottish ancestry in his body than anyone currently living in Scotland
You know nothing about Scotland, the non Scots are mostly Pakistani, and they only marry their own, and more recently Polish, but they come as family units & don't mix either.

and I am Pennsylvania Dutch, French Canadain , English , Irish , Czechoslovakian , Huron

I get it we are all mixed as fuck thats the thing though that pisses the europoors off when we claim one part of our mixed blood

Really? Why do so many people talk about Polish chicks being coalburners?

yhea, Israel's septic tank

>Edinburgh is crap
>Glasgow is fantastic
weegie cunt detected

your banker masters let you live 500 miles from their mansions you retarded shart they don't share their wealth with you .

fuck you retarded fucks are completely delusional

The Campbells also massacred the Lamonts causing many to flee argyll.

Scottish history sounds kind of like GoT: 'In 1400, three courtiers of King Robert II took advantage of their lord's absence to Rothesay Castle. Crossing into Cowal on a hunting trip, they encountered and raped three Lamont women. In a rage, Lamont clansmen caught up with the three courtiers and brutally murdered them. The incident was passed along to the King, who punished Clan Lamont by rescinding nearly eight square miles of their lands in Strath Echaig and granting them to the Campbells.
