Scotland's Backyard Castles - Neidpath Castle in the Scottish Borders | Dig It! TV
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 гру 2018
- Fraser, Hay and Douglas are just some of the big names in Scottish history who called Neidpath home. Not to mention Oliver Cromwell, who left a significant mark on the castle when his army came calling in 1650. Nestled in a sunlit valley in the Scottish Borders, this twelfth-century fortress is as quirky as they come. Join David and the Dig It! TV team and explore the many levels to Neidpath Castle, from the pit prison in the basement to the medieval grave stone in the attic.

I've traced My Family Lineage to Scotland and this is One of a few Castles that My Family had.
Wow! Who was the family, Allen?
@@DigItTV The Hay's.
Good video, interesting.
Believe it or not but was here in 1995 filming the The Bruce by Cromwell Productions , did Bannockburn scenes here and at Blackness castle as well as interior scenes , was a Scottish foot soldier and English knight in the same scenes , ahh happy memories of the long hot summer , met many great people , and Brian Blessed and Ollie Reed among others , it was a hoot .
Wow!
Aye! Loads of scenes filmed there and indeed, good memories. I played Chief McDonald and spent many days at Neidpath.
cool helped bunches im in middle school and we are doing a report on a castle and i saw a video by a channel called sam and colby where they stayed the night in it for the reason that they heard it was haunted and i thought it would be cool to do it on the neidpath castle my point is this helped alot thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video! Good luck with the report 🙂
wow amazin channel, subscribed. when will be same detailed video about Stalker castle? )
Thanks! We have more content planned for later in 2019, though we've not yet planned a video for Stalker castle. We'll put in our list for the near future!
Thankyou for sharing this special & fascinating place. Very much liked the video. Would have liked to see & hear more of it though. Any chance of a longer video?
Hi Sarah, thanks for the lovely comment. We purposely keep our videos around the 5 minute mark so that they are easily digestible, and we're glad that our video has whet your appetite for more Neidpath content. Check out David's Twitter (@TheCastleHunter
) for more in-depth castle-hunting adventures and we'll be back soon with more videos.
@@DigItTV - yes but for castle-o-philes like most of us who explore the subject on UA-cam - the snippets are just furious-making....so much enticement, and no meaty views - YOU are everywhere with a good story & history, but we didn't really see that castle at all except for the putside ! Grrr !
@@veronicaroach3667 Thanks for the feedback, Veronica. We'll keep that in mind going forward.
@@veronicaroach3667 Hey Veronica. I'm actually sitting in the castle right now .... took a 30min continuous video just wandering around. I'll upload it soon and send you the link! Cheers Bruce
Isn't the castle haunted?
So we've heard! But if there is a ghost, they left us alone while we were filming 😉

Pity about the Butcher's Apron flying from the flagstaff.
