  • A beautiful Sunday here in Scotland so time for a wander around some local places. First up is a 2000 year old Iron Age fort called Tapioca Broch. Then down to Wallaces Cave, which is an abandoned mine, last worked in 1400, 600+ years ago. I could not go safely into the mine due to some risk of being trapped in there.

    I’ve looked at about 10 videos made by different people of abandoned buildings. It’s more mysterious and interesting to actually be in one, but what I find missing in all of these videos is information. I could find it on the Internet, I guess. This was the best video I’ve seen, because brochs fascinate me and I’ve done cave tours throughout my life, and what little you do say is ok. I like mudlarking videos better, partly because they almost all have info about the objects they find. I do appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos.

    That has got to be the earliest permanent way of living l cant believe my eyes, there would have been a high weaved roof of bricken and staw, what a grand place to show us what time could have forgotten.

      I have done so a few times. There is not much parking, so just take care not to block any residents driveways.

    Hey man i went in a couple of days ago and got right in but it was flooded, does it lead anywhere, have you found anything interesting in them?

    • @scoutthedoggie2002
      @scoutthedoggie2002  3 роки тому

      Hi Ian. The tunnels lead in different directions, as you slide inside, the one on the left heads towards the Witches Pool, which you will have passed if you walked up from Denny. The other tunnel on the right goes into some caverns and can go around in circles, we think one passage goes up towards the castle. If you go in for around 100M, you might see an old 1930s metal milk urn, it must have been in there for decades. If you see string, thats mine, I took a massive ball of string in with me incase I got lost.

    From the Tappoch Broch, how do you get to Wallace’s Cave?

    • @scoutthedoggie2002
      @scoutthedoggie2002  3 роки тому

      Head back towards Denny, follow the path as if you are walking to the blue pool, follow for a few hundred yards until you are on the old road that goes downwards the witches pool, the cave is in scrub to the left of you, it is not easy to find.
