Life and culture of living in Scotland around 1200

The daily life, and culture of living in Scotland around 1200 was pretty harsh and hard for the peasants/lower class people. Peasants wore rags, and they have mud and dirt on their face most of the time. Peasants live in huts, which are building with simple crude construction, and mostly just temporary house or shelter. We watched a movie called, "Braveheart", it is a movie about some of the life people had in Scotland around 1200. It is telling a story about Scotland people fighting freedom from England, because England were controlling them. What we have watched so far was that the main character, a Scotsman called William Wallace, his father died when he was young. He was raised by his uncle. He came back to the village he used to live, he was a man when he went back. He was back to be a farmer, and get out of troubles. Murron is a girl that was really nice to him when he was young, Mirron became a beautiful woman too. They married secretly. The reason is because if you marry in front of everyone, and the English will see it. They will split couples up, and take the girl and rape, or to have sex with her. We can see that the Scotland is totally ruled under by the English.

The culture of Scottish people were very interesting. Their famous instrument is bagpipes, which sometimes they use it during war, or during funeral. The social status was pretty obvious in Scotland around 1200. Poor people usually lived in huts, which are small, and temporary shelters. They eat bread and soup with wheat, the food they had was really rare. But for rich people, and the English people. They get to eat meat and drink. Rich people also get to dressed nice and clean. In poor people villages, sometimes they have festivals. In the festival, they dance, relax, and enjoy themselves. But sometimes the English just bumped in and ruin the happiness and all the laughters. I think the Scottish people doesn't really have any privileges, except some of the rich ones. But the rest of them are poor and they had to be rule by the English, and all the rich people.
