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!
@@theotherandrew5540 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 👍
Thank you for making such a beautiful video. We really appreciate it!
Thank you for watching ☺️
@@conqueringalba9090 😊
Another great video of forgotten Scottish history! It's a shame that places such as this are left to the ravages of time, but they do make for some beautiful ruins. Thank you sir!
Thank you for watching ☺️
@@conqueringalba9090 Thank you for filming!
Another amazing video sir. I enjoy the more obscure history of Scotland and you indeed deliver. I was fighting with my audio during the intro pictures though, there was no sound or anything so I thought it was me, it was not of course. Anyways, thank you for another history lesson on the great country of Scotland!
Thank you for your lovely comment ☺️
@@conqueringalba9090 Sir, thank you for your videos.
sure wished you could have recorded the interior. for 600 years, people have been mucking about that structure.
I know 👎 It’s a shame we couldn’t get in as I would’ve loved to have seen inside it too 😌
@@conqueringalba9090 That's ok, the outside has some history too, covered windows and lines where old rooftops should have been, it's very telling.
I stay in Lesmahagow and this is a really lovely place
It really is ☺️
Excellent video!
Thanks! ☺️
