Using John Sharkey’s Flash Learning Virtual CfE Advanced Higher Physics these videos cover all of the unit Rotational Motion and Astrophysics. Note there have been a few changes to the Course Specifications since these were produced.
Here are some of the recordings from Virtual Flash Learning for the Rotational Motion Section. Turn off the volume if you dont want to hear from me.

Stellar Physics
Note in the Stellar Physics video the equation for Apparent Brightness has now been changed see below
Apparent Brightness where d is the distance from the star to EarthThe thermal energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second per unit area. This only works for Black Bodies, for other bodies the emissivity must be included. You will only be asked about black bodies in your AH exam.Luminoscity, where r is the radius of the star.
Good Morning campers, on this dreich Scottish Morning, after a bus trip from home to school, where the driver was going for the Formula 1 Bus record, I was delighted to take my mind off the journey with an excellent programme of lessons on the Stellar Physics. Following this course allows you to go at your own pace and cover what you need.
Welcome to the 2017-2018 AH Physics course. Another year, another journey together. I hope you feel that this site meets your requirements and that you can find the materials that you need.
You’re bound to find some notes here that you like. I’ll upload my material when I’ve put it into one booklet. Meanwhile, you can’t go wrong with these.

There are some great videos that can explain General Relativity much better than I can. A few are given below: Youtube
Remember at Advanced Higher you are expected to have a BASIC knowledge, not a deep knowledge of General Relativity. The purpose is to introduce you to some of the more modern (110 years!) Physics.
How does he make it sound just so simple and intuitive?

Here is a playlist for all 11 videos by Dr PhysicsA. These are lovely clearly explained videos, that are easy to understand and digest.
