This version is sung by Kenneth McKellar. Scottish-English Vocab O' = Oh Gang = Go Wi' - With o' = Of Fare thee weel = Goodbye T'were = It were
Is Nothing Sacred Anymore (The Ten Tenors) Ewan Walker 2011-01-08 | This is by far the best and most powerful version of this song I have heard. The Ten Tenors put such meaning into their songs, it brings a tear to my eye listening to them

War and Conflict of the 20th Century Ewan Walker 2010-04-22 | There have been over 150 conflicts over the last 100 years, with millions of lives lost. This is just a simple reminder of the scale of war, and the fact we can't put conflict behind us.It's only a simple video, but took me over 4 hours to make, including research.
The Drew Carey Show - Best of Mimi Bobeck Ewan Walker 2010-04-19 | My favourite scene of all time from long running US sitcom The Drew Carey Show. This is from Season 7, Episode 4 which was first broadcast in 2001. Brief synopsis: Drew has married his best friend of 15 years, Kate O'Brien. However, the twist in the plot is that a day before he married ex-girlfriend Nicki Ffiefer, making him a bigamist. His arch-enemy and sister-in-law, Mimi Bobeck, finds out, and gains an enormous amount of pleasure from the fact she knows Drew's little secret. All credit to Mcmlix1959 for the clip. Enjoy. I know I did, and still can't stop p****ing myself everytime I see it :)
When I survey the Wondrous Cross Ewan Walker 2010-04-01 | I was hesitant to begin uploading Christian videos, but since it's Good Friday, the most solemn day in the Christian calendar, I decided to. I hope you like it.*warning* there are some pretty rough images of Jesus' Passion in this video, which are not for the faint hearted.
What do you see Nurses? + A Nurses response Ewan Walker 2010-03-01 | Two of the most beautiful and moving poems I have ever read in one video. The first one is an old woman talking about her experience of a nursing home, while the second one is the nurse's response to her. Reputedly, "What do you see" was written by a Dementia Care patient in Aberdeen, and the hard copy was found by nurses clearing out her locker after she passed away.
Dont Quit- The Poem Ewan Walker 2010-02-17 | Over the next couple of days I am going to be uploading my two favourite poems, and this is the first. I have the poster on the wall in my study bedroom so that when things get bad, I can look at it and keep going. The words to the stanzas are so beautiful and powerful. I have no idea who owns the copyright to it.
Empire State of Mind- Alicia Keys Ewan Walker 2010-02-16 | This is just a very simple video for Empire State of Mind (pt.2) by Alicia Keys. I think this is a very powerful song. And I prefer this one to the one where she collaborated with Jay-Z. But why not leave a comment and tell me which one you prefer.
Edinburgh Wing Air Training Corps Summer Camp 2005 Ewan Walker 2010-01-30 | I know that I am uploading this video 5 years too late, but there are some amazing memories from this camp. It was my first as a Cadet in the Corps, and I came across the disk with the pictures on it the other day, so I thought I would make a video. I'm currently trying to make a recruiting video for my Squadron and I thought I could take some practice before shooting the real thing. I tried to make sure I was in almost every photograph The song is Breaking Free by Skyla
Caledonia- Dougie MacLean Ewan Walker 2010-01-28 | Sticking to the Scottish theme, this a truly beautiful song by Dougie MacLean about memories. This brings back memories of my High School, as I used this during one of the assemblies I presented. Brings a tear to my eye every ime I hear it.

A Mans a Man- Robert Burns Ewan Walker 2010-01-23 | Part one of my tribute to Rabbie Burns. What makes a real king is not his manners, but his innate character and qualities. This Scots song originally came under the title "Is There For Honest Poverty," but is widely known as "A Man's A Man For A' That." It is an expression of egalitarian ideas of society, where Burns clearly demonstrates his contempt for the rank and reveals his ideas of liberalism which were so much ahead of his time. In an 18th century small country, ruled by Hanoverian kings, Burns' words were inspirational to the poor people who did not bow and scrape like "coward slaves," and considered themselves to be equals to those aristocrats with their "silk" and "wines." The values championed by Burns in this poem are both timeless and universal and embody the spirit of the enlightenment and all that was flourishing in Scotland then. It is recognized internationally among all those people who believe in the equality of a man. (http://www.burnssupper2009.com) Vocabulary translations: a' = all hings= hangs an' = and gowd = gold hamely = homely hoddin = coarse gie = give e'er = ever sae = so o' = of birkie = fellow ca'ed= called wha = who hunners = hundreds cuif = idiot mak = make aboon = above guid = good mauna = must not bear the gree = come first o'er = over brithers = brothers ** I dedicate this video to my late Grandfather, who always dreamed of living in a world like this**

Scotlands Story- The Proclaimers Ewan Walker 2010-01-19 | As it is rapidly approaching Burns' Night- a celebratory night of Scottish culture due to the birthday of Robert Burns on January 25th- I decided to create this video, which celebrates Scotland as a multi-cultural nation. It's a simply fantastic song, and it explains how every Scottish person is obviously not purely Scottish. Pure genius! As a quick sidenote, I love the fact they included England as foreigners!
Old Friends- Simon and Garfunkel (lyrics) Ewan Walker 2010-01-15 | "Old Friends" by Simon and Garfunkel brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. I wonder how many of my 264 Facebook "Friends" I'll be sharing a park bench with when I'm 70... After a recent fall-out with one of my best friends, I was listening to this again, and decided it was such a beautiful song, I had to make a video out of it. As one person described it to me, "I guess old age can be beautiful". Just as a quick sidenote, the golden background was done purposefully. It is meant to symbolise three things: golden memories, golden friendships, and golden years (as old age is sometimes referred to as)
