Hi hope you are both well. Nearly missed this as youtube seem to have unsubscribed us they seem to do this a lot, however we have re hit subscribe! Loved this a great commentary with loads of great facts to support a fascinating video. Always enjoy a castle with a bit of intrigue. The gardens were fabulous always enjoy a terraced garden to explore. As you say is good to imagine what this would have been like if history had taken a different path. The church was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us. Hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dave and Dawn! 👋 So glad you found this and re-subscribed! 🥰 UA-cam can be a bit cheeky sometimes, can't it? 😅 Absolutely loved your comment! ❤️ It means the world to us when people connect with the history and beauty of these places the way you have. 🏰 The intrigue is definitely part of the charm, isn't it? 😉 And those terraced gardens? 😍 Talk about a gardener's dream! 🌿 We're right there with you, imagining all the "what ifs" of history. It's part of what makes exploring these places so captivating. 😊 Thanks again for the kind words and for sharing in our adventures! You two have a wonderful week! ☀️

Thanks so much for the kind words about the photography! 📸 I'm glad you enjoyed the views of Broughty Ferry. I'll definitely take another look at the subtitles with a fresh pair of eyes (or ears! 👂). Thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes these things slip through the cracks! 😅

However you are doing it, don't stop. I really look forward to these videos and songs, they are fantastic. Beautiful songs and beautiful vistas. It really makes my day. Thanks for sharing. I've watched it three times just to absorb it all in full. Thanks again.
