Scotland, a small country with a BIG story to tell

Scotland is not only a land of myths, legends and stunning landscapes, but also a land which has created much of the modern world as we know it today.


But Scotland's true story is seldom ever told. Its many successes and triumphs are often downplayed and overshadowed by a mainstream media in Scotland which is controlled by another country.

The Scotland Channel aims to change that. We will tell Scotland's amazing story and give viewers a chance to discover a Scotland they may not even know existed.

Film Reviews

Who Shot Willie McRae?

"Very interesting , thank you I’ve subscribed " - Christina Sutherland

"First class vlog. Well done The Scotland Channel." - @southafrica73

"this is excellent, thanks so much." - sn4rff

"Watching this till the end and wish all those seeking a public enquiry fair winds and the best of luck, they might need it." - Fraser Connell

"If you commit suicide then how is the gun not in his lap with fingerprints on it. And not over 70ft from him?

A real investigation should be opened from Holyrood. - djmarti7773

"Excellent vid." - Billy Andrew

"Excellent, thought-provoking video.." - @Evus-st5di

"Seems there are those above the law protected from Justice by the State. And they have the cheek to criticize Russia for doing the same! Their hypocracy has no bounds!" - James Jenner

" Who could be trusted to carry out the enquiry?  The "establishment" is itself under suspicion here." - Connied2836

"Really good show. Thank you! " - KizzieWiz

"Intriguing...where there's smoke there is fire! Unbelievable that this has been allowed to happen, just unreal."

-@martinakhaleeli8847

Freeports - Selling Off Scotland

"As I learn more about how Scotland looses out being run from Westminster I realise how much we need Independence ASAP. " - @johnnicolson467

"They inflicted free ports because they knew they could get away with it. We should be asking why we in Scotland look so fragile, and can be ignored politically." - @samkayak8712

"Thanks to the excellent Scotland Channel for helping to bring this to the attention of the Scottish public, pro-indy or not. It is in EVERYONE'S interest, regardless of political affiliation, to wake up to this disgraceful imposition on the sovereign people of Scotland." - Jan Hendry

"This is terrifying and must be stopped immediately." - Rosie McGregor

"I think that freeports are a disgrace. Indeed, I think that tax havens full stop are a disgrace, it's one reason why I don't like any of the main parties in the UK, Labour, the Tories or the SNP, or Reform. - commonsense-u1h

"Well we've seen how trustworthy the corporations are regards the treatment of water in England and Wales. Given to them Debt Free for them to give away £80 billion to private corporate shareholders, and now the public are being asked to pay £88 billion to sort out not having raw sewage ending up in all the fresh water of the country. Why should we trust corporations with anything that belongs to us?" - Roseanne Main

"Very impressed with the quality of the output from The Scotland Channel.  Our media is letting us down badly. You are demonstrating what can be done with a tiny fraction of the mainstream budget. All power to you and good luck to Salvo and the Freeport campaign." - Alec Mack

"The more i hear about these, the more horrifying they are." - sn4rff

" Excellent video, I have had many conversations with Sara Salyers and Colette Walker of SALVO, and joined them at a few public meetings in Scotland about Scottish SEZs and Freeports. There are 18 deregulated SEZs and 2 Freeports in Scotland, the Firth of Forth Freeport is inside a  45km diameter SEZ, which covers 705 of the City of Edinburgh. Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is a secretive corporate justice court set up by The World Bank in 1966, it has a committee of 3 individuals, none of whom have a law degree. ISDS means foreign corporations can bypass domestic courts and the national sovereignty of any country and sue governments for billions." - European Powell.

"Excellent Freeport’s coverage, great to see this. If Swinney or Forbes are questioned on Freeport’s they duck and dive the truth and say how good they are for the Scottish economy which is not true." - Vkng2458

"Why did the SNP Government agree to these Freeports?

Something of this national importance should have been put to a national referendum." - billbhein2949

Straight Talk with Leah Gunn Barrett

"Independence is normal. The UKplc is not! All those who do Scotland down should just go and live in England. Must be awful to live in a place that is too wee, too poor and aye! too stupid. Plenty of countries with far less than Scotland gained independence and they didn't crawl back. They didn't get bogged down in financial BS and legal jargon. The English took back sovereignty (had never lost it in the first place) from the EU. If Iceland (gained independence in 1944!) can manage so can we! The Scots have been gaslit and kept in their place for centuries by a ruling elite and their imperialist lackeys. Scotland is a country, not a region. Civic nationalism as espoused by Norway is better than the narrow nationalism of those with a superior attitude." - Frazinator1869

"Thank god, someone who is not only talking sense but who understands the situation as it truly is.  Scotland needs to wake up to what is happening right under its nose." - David Gunn

"Thankfully, we have people like Leah Gunn Barrett who fully understand Scotland's political circumstances. She knows 'the wider world' will welcome an Independent Scotland back into the world." - Ewen Morrison

"Brilliant, truly inspirational. The people of Scotland (and England) need to hear this.  WOW, we can do this!"  - Helen Robertson

"Refreshingly intelligent, yet depressing due to the effects of 300+ years of colonisation. Time to listen to such voices and act." - Mark Sowery

"She is right about our politicians and pressure should be brought to bear on them. They need to listen to the people and if they don't,  sack them." - Peter Lamont

Stones of Destiny

“Great video all about the stones and the stoners. Shows what one wee idea can do for a movement. Thanks for sharing.” Peem1244


“I’ve seen painted stones around here, in Perth, up Kinnoull Hill on my daily dog walks. I did not know the story. This is awesome! Well done all. Always makes me smile when I see them, sad when they disappear. Come on Scotland let’s take control of our own country again!” - jeranemo5504

“Great wee documentary on the yes stones movement. l had no idea how popular these stones are and that they are going all over the world.” - Robert Tabor

“excellent - thanks for this” - sn4rff


Fake State

“Outstanding!” Bill Ryan


“Well done Scotland Channel, this is excellent stuff sadly not enough people know the real history.” - @saorsa5


“Excellent work. You explain the lie that is the U.K. in a clear, understandable way.” - Jan Hendry


“This video needs to be widely distributed. The people of Scotland need to know the truth about how they were and are disrespectfully mistreated and how Scotland's natural resources, like the majority of former colonies, have been plundered to enrich the English politicians at Westminster and their business associates.” - @georgericketts-hf4eu


“Excellent content highlighting just some of our plight. It is an absolute travesty. We must escape this terrible illusion.” - @theSlabberingCabbage

“Terrific channel, let’s get more Scottish people educated!” - @izaakgoyal3878


“This is a great video, which I've liked and shared. We need to promote this channel to help it get the truth about Scotland and how we are governed by London, to their advantage. Like, Subscribe and Share widely!” - @yrv130


“Excellent and shared.” - @dianemcwade


“The Union was without question extremely successful while the British Empire ran the globe. However, after World War II this has decreased and consequently the English have become dependent on their closest conquests. At this point England will practically economically collapse without Scotland. Westminster realise this and simply must not allow independence to occur. England has little going for it at this stage. No resources and aside from London little economic base. I'm afraid its time to leave the sinking ship which is the UK . Otherwise we sink into oblivion with it.” - @andrewwotherspoona5722


“So many people do not know this in Scotland and especially in England it's always mainstream TV that refers to UK being a country and TV programs totally fixated on promoting Britishness with presenters always saying Britain, Brits, British pounds etc. It’s constant, we get it forced down our throats, they are relentless. I'm sick of it. - @saorsa5

The 2nd Great British Energy Heist

"Everybody in Scotland should see this programme." @billbhein2949


"This is exceptional. The film itself is professional, the presentation of facts is slick and effective, the  message powerful. The explanation of the Scottish crown and the community of the realm was the best I have seen to date. Thank you to the producers - let’s have more like it."

Jan Hendry


"Great show. Scotland has the potential to be wealthy."

George Ross


"So many people still thinking that we're unable, fiscally, to go our own way. I think it would be interesting to evaluate how much money we can realistically generate annually from our combined energy resources, against our total annual expenditure. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Saor Alba." @Peem1244


"Brilliant, concise and to the point." @macfiercesome


"Great content, well done, we are a nation.  Soar Alba." @JoeBlogs-if-


"Another great film! Thank you."

@leannan070


"I have shared the link to this programme on my Facebook page. Thank you for this informative programme, well done, The Scotland Channel."

@WVislandia


"Scotland is a wealthy country but the thing is we don’t see very much of it…most of it is squirrelled away south of the border and tankers leaving Scottish waters without landing on Scottish soil will not be classed as Scottish….when will people up here north of the border open their eyes and see what is happening..our resources are being stripped from our land for the benefit of the big conglomerates…its what you might call asset stripping!"

Neil Brown


"Reparations will be interesting."

@iceninja46



"The best production and clearest media output relating to Scotland's energy resources that there has been.  The illustration of the true relationship between the Crowns of Scotland and England and the non-existence of the Crown of the UK is excellent and provides the true facts of that relationship.  Share this with everyone you know because it may not be long on this platform as other truthful films and documentaries have mysteriously been removed.  This high standard of reporting and filming needs our financial support."

Alex Thorburn.


"Excellent film, concise and direct. We need to have this information spread around the whole of Scotland where so many people still believe the MSM propaganda that Scotland is too wee, too poor and too stupid to be an independent country, when in fact, we have the potential to be a wealthy and energy rich country like Norway."

@yrv130


"Brilliant job, guys. Factual, succinct and simply explained. In particular, thank you for explaining why and how the Scottish people, not an English monarch in whom our oil and gas was "vested" by Westminster in (yet another), internationally unlawful act of colonisation, are the lawful owners of all this wealth. This vitally important truth, the basis on which the real ownership of Scotland's resources depends and a standing accusation of colonisation against the British state, has been ignored by our political establishment. So, again, thank you." Sara Salyers, SALVO



"Great content well written but isn't it time for all Scotlands independence  parties to pull together instead of in house bickering ,as of and until now we are simply a colony."

Cliff Hardie


"This is more like it, more hard hitting stuff like thus please. Need to get this out there."
