And here is where we lost to the english
And here is where we lost to the English
And there…… is where we lost to the English
I’m joking JD - if I had to live somewhere it would be the highlands
Indeed there was alot of "We lost tae the English" videos and he's not ashamed of pointing out the failures.
One story I particularly liked was when the dastardly English set siege to Berwick. They sat on a hill to the north of the town waiting for the Scots army to show and the guy in Berwick said if the Scots don't relieve Berwick by 11, he'd surrender to the English.
So the Scots sent "knights" upstream, crossed the river Tweed at a ford and came across the bridge from the south into Berwick....Berwick was relieved. Well - except the English didn't think "that was cricket" - so said no - you have to relieve from the north.
Scots knew it was an awful battle to come - attacking uphill in boggy terrain or something like that - and they were mullered. On the wiki page, the English had about 8000 troops to Scotland's 12000. Apparently the Scots casualties were listed as in the thousands and the English casualties were listed as "a few"
There were some others too where the Scots were battered.
One thing they had in spades was tenacity. Pity that was about it.
