There's something magical about Scotland, perhaps it's the sunlight and mists, deep lakes and leafy forests, crumbling forts and ghosts of Scottish clans, salt breezes and tangy mountain air. Traveling in Scotland with kids, will it be the mysteries of the Loch Ness, the wild beauty of the Isle of Skye, the windswept Outer Hebrides, or stone castles at every turn in the road? Contrary to stereotype, the Scots were warm and congenial to our family.

The story of St. Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland)

The story of St. Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland)

Video transcript

Storyteller 1:
A long, long time ago in Galilee a fisherman called Andrew spent his days fishing.

One day he heard a man call out from the bank.

Jesus:
Follow me.

Storyteller 1:
That man was Jesus of Nazareth and Andrew immediately lay down his nets and became one of the twelve disciples.

Storyteller 2:
Andrew watched Jesus perform many miracles. It was Andrew who first spoke to the boy who offered to share his five loaves and two fishes with Jesus at the feeding of the five thousand. Jesus managed to feed all five thousand people from only the food the boy had shared.

Storyteller 1:
After Jesus died Andrew preached Christianity throughout Poland, Russia and Greece. It was in Greece that Andrew was crucified on an X shaped cross as he thought himself unworthy of dying on a vertical cross like Jesus.

Storyteller 2:
Time passed, a monk called Regulus, or Rule, was watching over St. Andrew’s bones. The story goes that an angel appeared to Rule and told him to take the relics to the far west. The journey was long and arduous.

Rule was shipwrecked on the east coast of Scotland, in a place where the town of St. Andrews now stands.

Storyteller 1:
Over the centuries St. Andrew became important to the Scottish people. This is why the X shape of his cross, or saltire, is part of the Scottish Flag.

Storyteller 2:
St. Andrew became the patron saint of Scotland about a thousand years ago, and St. Andrew’s day continues to be celebrated on the 30th of November each year.

Saint Andrew

                                                      Saint Andrew

Saint Andrew is the Patron Saint of Scotland, and St. Andrew's Day is celebrated by Scots around the world on the 30th November. The flag of Scotland is the Cross of St. Andrew, and this is widely displayed as a symbol of national identity.

The "Order of Saint Andrew" or the "Most Ancient Order of the Thistle" is an order of Knighthood which is restricted to the King or Queen and sixteen others. It was established by James VII of Scotland in 1687. 

Very little is really known about St. Andrew himself. He was thought to have been a fisherman in Galilee (now part of Israel), along with his elder brother Simon Peter (Saint Peter). Both became followers (apostles) of Jesus Christ, founder of the Christian religion.

St. Andrew is said to have been responsible for spreading the tenets of the Christian religion though Asia Minor and Greece. Tradition suggests that St. Andrew was put to death by the Romans in Patras, Southern Greece by being pinned to a cross (crucified). The diagonal shape of this cross is said to be the basis for the Cross of St. Andrew which appears on the Scottish Flag.

St. Andrews bones were entombed, and around 300 years later were moved by Emperor Constantine (the Great) to his new capital Constantinople (now Istambul in Turkey). Legend suggests that a Greek Monk (although others describe him as an Irish assistant of St. Columba) called St. Rule (or St. Regulus) was warned in a dream that St. Andrews remains were to be moved and was directed by an angel to take those of the remains which he could to the "ends of the earth" for safe-keeping. St. Rule dutifully followed these directions, removing a tooth, an arm bone, a kneecap and some fingers from St. Andrew's tomb and transporting these as far away as he could. Scotland was close to the extremities of the know world at that time and it was here that St. Rule was shipwrecked with his precious cargo. 

St. Rule is said to have come ashore at a Pictish settlement on the East Coast of Scotland and this later became St. Andrews. Thus the association of St. Andrew with Scotland was said to have begun.

Perhaps more likely than the tale of St. Rule's journey is that Acca, the Bishop of Hexham, who was a reknown collector of relics, brought the relics of St. Andrew to St. Andrews in 733. There certainly seems to have been a religious centre at St. Andrews at that time, either founded by St. Rule in the 6th century or by a Pictish King, Ungus, who reigned from 731 - 761.

Whichever tale is true, the relics were placed in a specially constructed chapel. This chapel was replaced by the Cathedral of St. Andrews in 1160, and St. Andrews became the religious capital of Scotland and a great centre for Medieval pilgrims who came to view the relics.

There are other legends of how St. Andrew and his remains became associated with Scotland, but there is little evidence for any of these, including the legend of St. Rule. The names still exist in Scotland today, including St. Rules Tower, which remains today amongst the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral.

It is not known what happened to the relics of St. Andrew which were stored in St. Andrews Cathedral, although it is most likely that these were destroyed during the Scottish Reformation. The Protestant cause, propounded by Knox, Wishart and others, won out over Roman Catholism during the Reformation and the "idolatry of catholism", that is the Saints, relics, decoration of churches, were expunged during the process of converting the Roman Catholic churches of Scotland to the harsh simplicity of Knox's brand of Calvanism.

The place where these relics were kept within the Cathedral at St. Andrews is now marked by a plaque, amongst the ruins, for visitors to see.



The larger part of St. Andrew's remains were stolen from Constantinople in 1210 and are now to be found in Amalfi in Southern Italy. In 1879 the Archbishop of Amalfi sent a small piece of the Saint's shoulder blade to the re-established Roman Catholic community in Scotland.

In 1969, Gordon Gray, leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland was in Rome to be appointed the first Scottish Cardinal since the Reformation. Pope Paul VI gave him further relics of St. Andrew with the words "Saint Peter gives you his brother". These are now displayed in a reliquary in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Edinburgh.

Inspector Gadget in Scotland

While enjoying the verdant scenery of Scotland in a drive in the Gadget Van, Penny, Brain, and Inspector Gadget are suddenly attacked by a huge dragon-like beast which spits fire at the car. Thinking his engine has simply overheated, Gadget stops the car and gets his latest assignment from Quimby: It's off to Loch Ness to protect an important scientist from the clutches of Dr. Claw. Despite a MAD detour that sends the Gadgetmobile flying off a cliff, and without the help of shocked-to-silence Scottish locals, Gadget finds his way to the Loch only to realize the scientist is already missing. The police inspector begins his search for him while Penny secretly does some investigating of her own. Using a portable computer / radar screen, she tracks not only the monster that tried to destroy them earlier (which turns out to be an enormous mechanical creature), but also the Gadgetmobile and Brain, one after the other, all underwater. The monster swallows Gadget whole, and once inside, he finally meets Professor Thumphkin, a nervous old man in a wool sweater with a voice reminiscent of actor Richard Haydn. In an attempt to break out of their unlikely prison, Gadget uses his laser and his screwdriver, yet succeeds only in freaking out Thumphkin and short circuiting the lake monster's guidance system. Dr. Claw is no longer able to control it from his MAD sub, and it's all he can do to get out of its way. Penny deftly leaps onto the huge robot, literally gets inside its head, and brings it to a quiet stop at the shore of the lake. Gadget emerges from the monster intact, carrying a passed-out, but safe Professor Thumphkin.

Capítulo del antiquísimo Follow Me! de la BBC, en el que aparece un montaje de Edimburgo cuando es visitado por la reina.

Follow Me! was a series of television programmes produced by the BBC as a crash course in the English language. It was popular in many overseas countries as a first introduction to English. In this chapter, Queen Elizabeth II is visiting Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, the seat of the Scottish parliament and government.The city was one of the historical major centres of the Enlightenment, led by the University of Edinburgh, helping to earn it the nickname Athens of the North. The Old Town and New Town districts of Edinburgh were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 in recognition of the unique character of the Medieval Old Town and the planned Georgian New Town.

The Black Island (The Adventures of Tintin)

Tintín, un reportero sin igual, ha visitado multitud de países haciéndonos soñar con sus divertidas aventuras. Entre esos países encontramos Escocia. Para que tu también puedas disfrutar te incluimos un pequeño resumen de la historia y la película.


Plot

The Black Island is the seventh of The Adventures of Tintin, written and illustrated by Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as the hero.While walking in the Belgian countryside Tintin sees an airplane making an emergency landing. He goes to help and notices that it does not have a registration number on it. As he approaches the plane he is shot by the pilot. Tintin recovers at a hospital where police detectives Thomson and Thompson inform him that a similar plane has crashed in a field in Sussex, England. Tintin decides to investigate for himself.

Tintin takes a train from Brussels to the coast in order to board the ferry from Osted to Dover, England. . During the journey he is framed for the assault and robbery of a fellow passenger (who is in fact part of the mysterious criminal gang Tintin has inadvertently stumbled upon). Thompson and Thomson arrest Tintin, but he escapes by handcuffing them to each other while they are asleep.

Arriving in England, Tintin is kidnapped by the same men who framed him. They take him to a clifftop, intending to make him jump off it, but Tintin escapes with Snowy's help. His investigations lead him to Dr. J.W. Müller who, with his chauffeur Ivan, is part of a gang of money counterfeiters, led by Puschov, the so-called victim on the train.

Tintin's pursuit of Müller and Ivan results in a plane crash in rural Scotland, where a friendly farmer gives him a kilt to wear. He visits the pub in the coastal village of Kiltoch, where he is told strange stories about the Black Island, where an evil beast is said to roam, killing humans. Tintin buys a boat from a villager and heads for the island, where he is almost killed by a gorilla named Ranko and finds his boat missing. Stranded on the island, Tintin discovers that it is the hideout of the gang of counterfeiters led by Puschov and Müller.

Tintin temporarily manages to subdue the gang (they free themselves shortly afterwards) and calls the police on their radio signaling device after watching Thompson and Thomson win an air show race on a television set (though they didn't mean to). After a desperate holding-out action (in which Ranko's arm is broken), the gang is captured and Tintin returns to mainland Kiltoch, but the media and press do not stay very long after Ranko appears. The gang is jailed, the now submissive Ranko is placed in a Glasgow Zoo, and Tintin decides to return home via a plane trip, which Thompson and Thomson, who have reconciled with Tintin, turn down due to their previous harrowing experience.

The Ballad of Nessie
