Fascinating castle not on a massive scale but interesting. St Mary's Chapel on the way out of town is worth a visit. By it is the Bute Mausoluem..
@@Uktravelguy I was gutted we never made it there. Thanks for the recommendation. I’d love to visit!
I was there in novembre. Am a descendant of Douglas
@@anabelladouglas9643 There seems to be a lot of descendants of the Douglas family which is nice to see! 😊
subbeddddddddddddddddddddddd
Nice video mate 👍🏼 Just explored the castle 🏴
@@formonthills Thank you! I hope you enjoyed! 😊
My wife and I plan to come to this castle someday. She is a descendent of Sir Robert Boyd.
@@RaftCoveProductions That’s amazing! Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint.
Why are these castles not rebuilt? 🍁
@@carolblack1853 I’m not entirely sure however I think the main factor will be the cost 😔
Ur reincarnated 👑 James's of Scott's 😱 f I got chillss. 😍 itttt. 😘
Thanks for this lovely video. It’s a shame Steve Hannah the keeper of the tower didn’t know you were visiting as he would have opened it up so you could look inside. I’ve visited several times and the inside is fascinating. There’s even a small prison cell adjacent to the incredible period kitchen.
@@Thereviewerman5 Ah, that’s a shame I missed that! Thanks for the info. I’d love to see that if I were to visit again.
@ if you do return please message me and I’ll send you his details. 👍🏼
Are there any grave sites still on the grounds?
@@scgrl625 I don’t recall seeing any
Great place, but be very careful , the walk down into the gorge is very trecherous. I personally prefer GlenFiddich😁
@@jimdevlin2138 Yes, it’s quite dangerous 🫣
Very nice video. I enjoyed the leisurely walk around the castle ruins, poking your head into all the nooks and crannies, just as I would have done. Every time you showed a fire place I wanted a roaring fire to dispel the cold and damp of that day!
@@timperry8566 Thank you 😊 Haha I felt the same! 🔥🥶
great!
Heard a lot about it
👍👍
ALL the stone carvings on the walls are modern. None are ancient. The celtic cross has been there the longest, but even that one isn't ancient.
Sound levels are hardly audible Whispering grass
Been there done that one !! Thanks for the flashback!
Caannot hear this at all!
Sadly I cannot get good sound on the video, as it is like a faint whisper! The other videos are also poor vocal volume too, as I watched Part 1 Dunstaffnage today!
Absolutely beautiful! So rustic & charming! As well as being situated on such a beautiful Loch setting! I love St Conan's Kirk. It is one of the most beautiful, quaint & charming wee Kirks in Scotland. It is actually much larger than it looked in other videos I had seen. You're filming & footage here, as well as your interesting Commentary, really did it proud! It truly is so impressive in every way, both inside & out! The Architect did an outstanding job of designing & building this amazing wee Church. Such remarkable Workmanship! Moreover, the History of St Conan's is also really fascinating & so intriguing! Thank you for sharing this delightful experience at this truly unique & charming Old Kirk...St Conan's! Blessings to you!
@@Annie4Always Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
@@conqueringalba9090 You're welcome! Have a lovely day!🌞
@@Annie4Always You too! 🤗
👍👍
That area is known as a Thin Place, a place where the veil between this world and another is extremely thin. You can feel something special around there, that's for sure. x
@@pinkpyjamas-ey6rw 100% 😊
Great video! It would be amazing to visit such an historic site! 🎩💖✨
@@MarzNGrama Thank you. If you ever have the chance to visit, I’d definitely recommend 👍

He became clan leader before he was born?
@@gordonbrown8450 No, it was when he was 30.
Who tf r u
Interesting but poorly done commentary. The mix of history and wildlife makes for two videos, or at best two clear halfs. Don’t mix them!
@@12theotherandrew Thanks for your feedback!
@@conqueringalba9090 Begin with the romantic introduction of Mary of Scotland, then go through the history from the very first known structure on the site, what was built when, who visited it (Bruce, Mary, others?) When was it abandoned? Then the lowering of the loch,,how and why, and finally, “And today, loch Leven is a nature reserve know for …. “
Makes me ridiculously happy!
Truly lovely 😍. Thank you so much for a glorious video 🙏
interesting place
Wonderful walk. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Cannae watch as that music is giving me a headache.
Stayed in torwood All my life
This would have been a great topic...however...I was unable to focus on anything properly...and as for the plaques there was no chance to make much of them at all...I think that you need a better camera...but don't give up😃🌠
Thanks for your feedback 👍😊
Visited the tower today when there were volunteers on site so we had a tour inside. It’s impressive in its current condition and will be lovely when finished.
Aww that sounds amazing. I never got to see inside which was a shame 👎
@@conqueringalba9090 we went because we watched the video on UA-cam. A New Zealand lady gave us a tour.
@@ianferguson3543 I’d have loved that.
I managed to visit there, when I was last on the Isle of Bute.
It’s such a lovely place ☺️
@@conqueringalba9090 It certainly is. I found it really peaceful.
Великая Киликия
Thanks for the video of Sorbie Tower. I appreciated your attention to detail like flowers along the trail up to the tower.
Thank you for your kind feedback 👍
Thank you. Im decendent of Humes of Wedderburn . Love history .
Great informative video. Some of your place name pronunciations were a bit wrong eg. Bread al bane and Glen Or kay ( phonetic) still very enjoyable.
Thank you for your feedback 👍 I’m not always great with pronounciations so I do apologise! 😭😂
How is the parking
The parking was absolutely fine. It’s next to the cemetry and around 100 yards from the castle 👍
Good local facts and history.
Beautiful French castle...
Wonderful! 💕
Always great to visit this ancient site...
Yes, a very fascinating place.
A place full of intrigue...and great historical reference.
It is good to see Rothesay Castle open again. It is a really interesting place.
I agree ☺️
Stunning!
how far is the parking to this place ?
Roughly 100 yards from the castle 👍
