The Brave Heart of Scotland (Music and Scenery from Scotland)
Lovely, thank you.
Fantastic but am scared of them!
Absolute sociopath..
Beautiful footage narrator is nice to listen to but the music is way too loud!
Piy about rhe stupid over long advert, lost interest and turned off.
Press skip!
My adverts short 15 Seconds
Just. Beautiful the. Whole. Thing
What happened to Fred's machines its so empty that shed its scary
Wonderful
What a gem! I made it all the way through with only a couple drops down my cheeks but the steam salute wrecked me 😢. What a fantastic send off for a true legend of a man.
Such beautiful and majestic and oh so powerful animals!
What a disgrace this video is, your channel is now blocked.
Absolutely disgusting to see freds house sold to anyone rather than turn it into a listed property, it should be a museum, now it's empty and these folks have sold everything, now some wealthy immigrant could buy it, and already had done, what a shame.
I live horses.
Lovely!
Hopefully this will be the last we hear about this bloke.
Yay thank you for bringing this back!
Amazing. Been looking for this video! It kept disappearing off UA-cam
Gibraltar is not an Island
Siempre es un placer verle pescar y explicar con tanto detalle y tan bien las distintas técnicas. Gracias, Sir Robert.
When the winds trying to snap the ladder off sideways, it can be quite exciting!!! No Fred, no - that's shit scary is what that is. It's unreal to think this wasn't actually that long ago! The hard workers like Fred are still about, just have far more red tape in place these days to do the job - as an office mug I don't profess to be one, but certainly admire them!
One of the best men
The lady at 48.11 . Far out !
The days when a man was a real man and no this crap weve got in this country now . R.i.p fred
Mara zion means Market jew .
How can Fred get up them ladders with bollicks that big
Nazism Fascism Communism Socialism and Globalism are just faces of the same coin. They are all brutal and needs to be condemn to the toilets of history where it belong.
Mr W.S. was still on the other realms of Earth into the 1950s. The yoga Master Sir George King was overshadowed by him at least once. It was on one of these occasions that William stated "I acted in the plays and produced some of them, but I never wrote them". The term 'supernatural' should be removed from our dictionaries as everything in the universe happens within the laws of nature. Paranormal things may be, but NOT supernatural.
Better than Mark Felton
Very informative, thanks
And I was feeling sorry for myself when I was at the top of a 32 foot ladder. 🪜 😢
Watching this video is what inspired me to become a, Medical Massage Therapy.
Very good.

Born the same year as my grandmother. I discovered her in my school library when I was in my teens and was instantly addicted ❤
A very interesting video. I was looking for texas holdem @36:00
Fred was a national treasure, no messing about, straight to the point. They should show his documentaries in school to show how getting dirty and putting in a day's graft could be forfilling
Just discovered that my 9th great grandfather and his sister were leaders of their respective covens from Edinburgh. The other members coven conspirad to assist their escape in order to save the sacred knowledge. My spiritual connection to Scotland is very deep and respectful.
I was bornand raised in canada but my heart aches for Scotland, alway has.
RIP Fred
Thank God Britain did decide to fight, from a grateful Yank.
She was my favourite author growing up. My mum thought they would be good books after junior library. I really enjoyed her biography. Thank you. Love from Cape Town.
Only just seen this funeral lovely send off for this lovely man rest in peace Fred Dibnah
❤❤❤❤❤😊
When people ask me what is English culture i mention Fred Dibnah🏴
The craftsmanship is exquisite.
I remember buying this documentary on DVD about 20 years ago. Can't believe I've managed to find it on YT all this time later.
My very first ASMR video before it was called ASMR. Victoria Sprigg is your original ASMR lady - and she remains just as beautiful😊
Wonderful videos, always learn something. Struggled with this shot but now think I've got it! Thanks for sharing
Hero of mine they don’t make men like this anymore in any shape or form!
Awesome send off❤️
