hi guys this is merc and today we are lookingat 10 unsolved mysteries of scotland,this video was suggested by kerrie wilson,thankyou so much for the suggestion i hope you will enjoy this video. so without further ado let's begin1.who hanged mark devlin? by the mid 19th century the post of hangmanhad become a widely unpopular one in dundee.
South Cove Community Health Center, the hanging of popular jacobites during therebellions had left a distaste in the mouth of residents and the town had not had a hangmansince 1745. in the 1830s the notorious black band criminalgang had left dundee in the grips of terror. the gang was responsible for multiple break-ins,highway robberies and starting riots and the
city’s small police consiting of only 14police officers failed in the face of the crimewave. the law got a break in 1835, when they caughta black band member named mark devlin breaking into a property and decided to make an exampleof him. devlin was tried and sentenced to death byhanging on 30 may 1835. as the city had no hangmen they sent for anexecutioner from edinburgh, but when he failed to turn up they needed a volunteer from thetownspeople. a man identified as local showman james livingstonevolunteered, and devlin was sent to meet his maker.
as a result livingstone’s reputation tumbledquickly , which didn’t make him too happy, because livingstone had actually been 24 kilometers(15 mi) away in the neighboring town of forfar at the time. he had reliable witnesses who saw him there,and he was eventually able to persuade everyone that he wasn’t even present at devlin’shanging. nearly 180 years have passed and no one knowswho hung mark devlin 2.the missing library of ionathe scenic island of iona, off the west coast of scotland, is known as the birthplace ofscottish religion. in 536 a.d. missionary st. columba and hisfollowers landed on the island, and it was
there he founded a monastery, which soon becamethe capital of knowledge in the medieval world. the monestry once housed an incredible librarythat held the most extraordinary books known to man,most of which have vanished. the only known survivor is the book of kells,which is preserved at trinity college in dublin. many believe the rest were destroyed by vikingraiders who attacked in the ninth century. some historians believe some of the booksmay have survived, taken to ireland or buried nearby to keep them safe. in the 1950s archaeology students conducteda dig on the treshnish islands, near to iona, in search of the lost books.
they found nothing. but who knows if they could still be there,a hidden cache of history and knowledge that, if found, might possibly represent the mostimportant find of our time. 3.disappearance of arlene fraserarlene fraser, a 33-year-old mother of two, was last seen at the door of her home in elgin,moray, clad in a dressing gown and waving off her kids as they left for school.she wasstudying business at a local college, but that day, tuesday, april 28, 1998, she hadno classes, and planned to spend the morning at home.arlene passed a couple of hours ondomestic chores and phoning into new elgin primary school to ask when her son, 10-year-oldjamie, was due back from a class outing.the
call was made at about 9.41am, and she toldthe school receptionist that she would be in for the next hour. however,when her phone rang 15 minutes later,there was nobody there to answer it.just over an hour later, at about 11am, her friend michellescott visited the house. the front door, normally locked, was open,and the vacuum cleaner was plugged in ready for use. the phonebook was lying open, but there wasno sign of arlene.the mystery deepened through the day. she missed a lunch appointment, and failedto appear for a meeting with her solicitor
at 2.30pm.her father rang, but got no answer,and that evening, after her children had returned from school to an empty home, police werecalled.arlene’s estranged partner, nat fraser, had been forced to stay away from her aftertheir relationship broke down.he called in to elgin police office that evening, tellingan officer that there was money stashed behind a vent in the house, but the stash in herhouse had gone.the media were issued with a missing person notice, and the wheels ofgrampian’s biggest ever search operation were set in motion.police officers and relativescombed every inch of the house, making a number of worrying discoveries. arlene suffered from crohn’s disease, buthad left her medicine at home.her glasses,
contact lenses, credit cards and watches wereall found at home, and it appeared that she had not taken her clothes.the disappearancesparked the largest manhunt in grampian police history, involving hundreds of officers andlocal volunteers.but, she was never found. some speculated that arlene might simply havesuffered an accident, although the circumstances in which she went missing seemed too suspiciousfor this to hold much weight. in 2000 fraser’s friend, hector dick, wascharged with lying to police about a car they were seeking to trace. arlene’s family had stated their beliefthat the full details would come out once this car was found, but dick knowingly misledthe police searching for it.
he was sentenced to 1 year in prison. a year later, another of fraser’s acquaintances,glenn lucas, was arrested in connection with the disappearance, and charged with attemptingto pervert the course of justice. although nat fraser persistently deny anyinvolvement in his wife’s disappearance, he and dick were arrested shortly afterwards,and three years after she was last seen, the two men were charged with arlene’s murderand associated wrongdoings. now, more than 18 years after her disappearance,arlene’s family still lacks the truth about her tragic end. she was declared dead in 2005 and what happenedto her that fateful day still remains a mystery.
4.the meaning of stonesthe examination of pictish stones from scotland raised a great deal of excitement in 2010when researchers analyzed more than 200 of the engraved stones, which depict a still-untranslatedwritten language of ancient scotland. these are relief sculptures carved into stoneslabs similar to egyptian hieroglyphs that depict people and animals.the stones are believedto have been carved by members of an ancient people known as the picts, who thrived inwhat is now scotland from the 4th to the 9th centuries. a statistical analysis of 200 pict stonesfrom the sixth century concluded that they aren’t simply pretty pictures—they representa written language.
the study, carried out by exeter university,analyzed how often certain symbols followed others and found a pattern that matched manyknown ancient languages.unfortunately, the study didn’t bring us any closer to understandingwhat the stones actually mean. the lead author of the research, rob lee,suggests they may be lists of the dead. the vocabulary used on the stones seems tobe quite limited, and we may never know just what the picts were recording. https://www.alsintl.com/blog/pictish-stone/ 5.the mull plane mysteryon christmas eve 1975,fifty-four year old peter gibbs had flown in to the glenforsaairstrip on the previous day with his thirty-two
year old girlfriend and former universitylecturer felicity grainger.gibbs and grainger ate their evening meal at the glenforsa hoteland shared a bottle of claret. at around 9:00pm gibbs abruptly announcedthat he intended to take the cessna for a short flight and retired to his room to changeinto flying gear. when he returned to the bar, hotel staff triedto dissuade him. the night was completely dark with no moonand although the skies were clear, a storm front was expected to arrive within the hour. in addition the landing strip was not equippedfor night operations and had no lights. gibbs peremptorily explained that he was notasking permission for the flight, he was simply
telling hotel staff as a courtesy. he left with his dining companion felicitygranger. she later reported that gibb had given herinstructions to stand at one end of the runway with torches to guide his takeoff. multiple witnesses claim two torches movedindependently in ways that would require another person to be helping, though granger claimedthere was only her. gibb took off, and shortly thereafter, a sleetstorm rained down that would last for 72 hours. gibb never returned from the flight. 4 months later, his dead body was found 400feet up a nearby hillside with no sign of
injuries. a pathologist ruled that he had died of exposure. he also said he only suffered a minor limbinjury. tests also concluded that neither his bodynor his clothes had been in contact with the sea, so he had definitely exited the planeon land, but no one could find the plane. mull is not a large island so the disappearanceof the craft was quite troubling. in 1986, a local diver found the wreckageof a light aircraft 100 feet below the water 300 yards off the coast of mull. both wings were sheared off and doors in thelocked position.
there was a hole in the perspex windscreenand the plane had apparently crashed extremely hard. it would have been very difficult to leavethrough it without incurring some serious injury. two theories have been suggested, neitherof which sound likely. the first is that gibb leaped from his planewhile it was in midair above the hill. he landed on the hill without suffering anythingworse than a cut leg, then lay down and died in the cold. the problem with that explanation is thatthe aircraft would have been left to fly itself
into the sea while the doors somehow lockedthemselves. the other theory is that gibb was workingfor mi5 and had to attend to an urgent mission in northern ireland. he was captured by terrorists, somehow killedwithout being injured in any way, and his body was planted back on mull. the light aircraft found in the sea is leftout of that theory. then again, it doesn’t make much less sensethan the alternative. 6.gilmerton cove on the southern fringe of the city of edinburgh,is the old mining village of gilmerton.behind
the doors of this small cottage , lies a bizarremystery which remains unsolved to this day. once inside the cottage, steps lead down toa network of chambers and tunnels carved from the solid rock below. it is believed the tunnel system is carvedby a black smith called george paterson who carved the rooms for his family to live inbetween 1719-1724, and to function as a secret drinking place for customers. many have contested that it would be impossiblefor one man to carve so much in just 5 years, and that these rooms are much, much older. and what is carved only adds to the mystery.
a fireplace with no chimney which has no blackeningaround it, suggesting nothing has ever been burned there , a well that does not reachwater, sealed off corridors and a mysterious bowl carved into one of the stone tables. one sealed passage is rumoured to run directlyto nearby rosslyn chapel, home to its own fair share of mysteries. others say they lead to nearby craigmillarcastle. the still visible marks of the masonic squareand compasses, carved on a table, and the cat carved on the wall only fuel the fireof speculation that this was a secret masonic meeting place.
some speculate that this was a witches covenor a refuge for the coventars or even the knights templars. an archaeological investigation was carriedout between 2000 and 2002 to determine once and for all what purpose the tunnels served. sadly, its only conclusion was that the covehad been so widely used over the last few centuries that any chance of figuring outits origins are long gone. 7.big cat sightingsscotland has no native large cats.but recent reports from scotland claim there have beensightings of large mysterious felines during the last decades of the 20th century and atthe start of the current century.
these incidents are reported on as eagerlyas nessie sightings. the large cats tend to be elusive and haveled to tales of such creatures as the “beast of bennachie†and the “cougar of cupar.†one witness claimed “(i saw) what i thoughtwas a black labrador…(but) i am 100% sure it to be a tiger-like creature walking slowlyacross the field.†also like nessie, the elusive big cats haveinitiated debates about their existence. scottish secretary michael forsyth claimedthat the big cats are actually dogs or foxes. but the sheer number of sightings have madebelievers out of many. some of scotland’s mystery cats were actuallycaptured.
in 1980 a puma was caught by a sheep ownerwho became upset about his disappearing livestock. he made a cage and set it. sure enough, he caught a puma and called theauthorities right away. the cat became a bit of a sensation and wasnamed felicity. she spent the rest her life in the highlandwildlife park until she died in 1985. felicity the puma is now in a display caseat the inverness municipal museum. oddly, the sightings of big cats, includingpanthers and even lions, in the area continued. the possible origins of these non-indigenouscats are unclear, but one strong theory exists. until the 1974 dangerous wild animals act,people in scotland could keep pets such as
pumas, leopards, and other exotic felines. the act established standards for the careof exotic pets that some large cat owners may have found too costly, so they cruellyreleased their pets into the wilds, where the animals have roamed and bred ever since. another unproven theory says that the bigcats survived the last ice age and have been around ever since. many have been debunked as hoaxes or misidentifications,but there are a few of the 2,000 or so that are recorded every year that remain as mysteries. 8.the glasgow effectthe people of scotland have one of the lowest
average life expectancies in all of europe. this average is heavily skewed by the peopleof glasgow, where life expectancy can be as low as 54 years in some areas. poverty is a partial explanation, but thereare plenty of cities in the uk that are just as deprived and experience a much lower rateof premature death. the usual candidates of smoking, alcohol,and drugs are also significant factors, but glasgow’s life expectancy is inexplicablylow, even when all of that is taken into account.this phenomenon has been called the glasgow effect,but no one knows what causes it. there are numerous competing theories, blamingeverything from the weather to the local culture
to political scheming from both sides of thespectrum. despite years of research and decades of evidencethat something has gone terribly wrong in the heart of scotland's largest city, theunderlying causes of glasgow's fatally poor health remain something of a scientific mystery. 9.who was bible john? the barrowlands in the gallowgate is partof glasgow social history, where young couples meet, romance blossoms and lifelong memoriesare made.in february 1968 nurse patricia docker had spent part of her evening at the overâ€25snight at the barrowlands.her body was found next day in a lane in carmichael place, nearher langside place home on glasgow’s south
side.she had been raped and strangled. her handbag and clothes were missing and despitemonths of investigation, neither were ever found. on friday 15 august, 1969, jemima mcdonaldwas enjoying a night at the barrowlands, a break from the demands of raising three children.nextday rumours circulated of a body lying in a tenement in mackeith street in bridgeton.concernedthat she hadn’t come home, jemima’s sister margaret went to look for her. she found her sister. strangled.
raped. beaten to death.did whoever kill patricia,also murder jemima? just a few weeks later,on 31 october 1969, the barrowlands was againat the centre of a murder mystery.helen puttock had been out with her sister jean. they set off for home in a taxi along witha man they’d met.he said he was john. and, strangely, he quoted to them lines andpassages from the bible.it was this information that led to the killer being given the moniker"bible john" by the media. .after dropping off jean at knightswood, thetaxi then continued to earl street in scotstoun where helen lived.
the next morning, helen's battered body wasfound in the back garden of her flat in earl street. she had been raped and strangled. the contents of her handbag had been scatterednearby but the actual bag was missing. it has been suggested that the killer tookthe bag as a trophy. years later serial killer peter tobin wasworking as a church handyman at st patrick’s rc church in anderston, glasgow, when he killedstudent angelika kluk. detectives later found the remains of dinahmcnicol and falkirk schoolgirl vicky hamilton in the garden of his home in kent.he wouldhave been 22 in 1968.
he was known to visit the barrowlands – indeed,he met his first wife there or it could be pure coincidence and with no dna and no witnesses,hopes of bringing ‘bible john’ to justice are slim.40 years later and the case is stillunsolved. 10.the death of annie borjessonannie was a 30-year-old swedish citizen whose body was found on the morning of 4 december,2005 lying on the salt water beach near the seawall in prestwick, scotland. annie was lying on her back with her coatand two bags close to her body. the bay is shallow enough that a person canwalk out hundreds of yards during low tide before reaching the water line.her motherlater said that annie was a strong swimmer
and if she drowned herself she would havehad to be out a considerable distance and it would be impossible for her body, bag andcoat to have been washed up at exactly the same spot.the police considered annie’sdeath a suicide by drowning. annie’s family wasn’t convinced that anniecommitted suicide, and they uncovered some odd things when they looked into it.when annie’sbody arrived back in sweden, the undertakers there claimed she had several bruises thatshe seemed to have incurred while she was still alive. the autopsy in scotland hadn’t recordedthese bruises. there were other marks on her body, too, whichofficial reports had concluded to be the result
of collisions with debris in the sea. what most concerned the family, though, werethe unanswered questions about annie’s last day. annie had been living in edinburgh and wasabout to start a new job. before she died she had paid a month’s advancerent on her flat.if she was going to commit suicide then why pay the rent? on december 3, she traveled 129 kilometers(80 mi) to prestwick airport for unknown reasons. she tried to withdraw cash using her creditcard twice, first â£100, then â£50. both times, she didn’t have enough fundsin her account to complete the transaction.
she proceeded to the airport, where her imagewas captured on video surveillance in the late afternoon.time stamps from the airport’ssecurity footage show that she moved the length of the terminal in 55 seconds. independent investigators determined thatthis should take over a minute and a half at normal walking speed and concluded thatshe must have been running. in total, she spent less than five minutesat the airport. according to a friend who had seen the footage,she appeared to be walking around looking “annoyed and angry.†she then began walking toward prestwick itself.
she wasn’t familiar with the town, whichwas about a mile away from the airport. a witness later claimed to have seen a figurestanding on the beach near the sea, but the figure was too far away to identify.when annie’sfamily began their investigation, they hit a wall of secrecy. scottish authorities refused to release tissuesamples that could help clarify the cause of death. when the family accessed annie’s email account,they found that all of her emails had been deleted. a friend named maria jansson discovered thatannie’s phone company had failed to register
any of the calls she had made to annie during2005, and the phone company refused to discuss it with her.shortly after that maria beganto frequently receive silent phone calls. family members had problems with their emailaccounts. police claimed that there were no recordsof any calls to or from annie during her last three days, even though several people rememberedtalking to her. it later came to light that annie’s hairhad been cut after her death and thrown away.annie’s family continues to campaign for a full investigationbut with no luck.
