Crichton Castle is one of my most favorite local places to visit, the architecture is beautiful the scenery is awesome and the history is so interesting
I'm a Crichton ancestor. I enjoy learning our history 😊
Crichton ancestors, thank you for shedding more light on the family..
Our pleasure 😊
Loving these historical chats! I’m learning sooooo much!
Glad to hear it! Going to be lots of them covering all of Scotland coming up 😀
Crichton descendant here! Thanks for the video. Very informative
Our pleasure, glad it's one with a personal note 😄
Hello cousin! :-)
The scaffolding wasn’t there last time I was at Crichton Castle. I wonder if it’s just for stabilisation purposes, or if there is some restoration work going on.
Hello relative, greetings from across the pond in the State's, Florida to be exact. Hoping to visit the homeland one day, decadent of William Crichton esquire of the colony of Savannah in Georgia.
@@southernblueblood5402 hello! Please do it, it will not disappoint.
Crichton descendant here ie. James Crichton who migrated to Tasmania in 1853. Would like to visit the family castle one day.
So glorious! One of my (many ;)) favourite castles in Scotland. You live in one of the most astoundingly beautiful countries I've had the pleasure to explore. You can't throw a stone without hitting a castle. :)
Thank you sharing your knowledge and spectacular footage...so happy to have discovered your channel.
Thank you and very glad to be able to share their stories with everyone - especially the ones many will not be familiar with! Happy castle hunting 😀
Great video and history and chat very nice indeed well done just loved it thanks for sharing have a great day i love the history of castles as well
I'm glad you mentioned Dere Street.
Thanks for the infooo! Fellow Craton/Crichton here 🙏
Hey Scotlanders, great video and very informative! I'm actually looking to make a documentary about this castle as part of my HNC course at Edinburgh College, is there any chance I could organise a filmed interview to talk about some the history of Crichton Castle, I'd love to talk more about what style I'm going for in my documentary if you're willing. Thanks, Max.
Sure Max, David will get in touch with you 👍
@@scotlanders2612 wonderful! I look forward to hearing back!
@@maxwellhaddow-mendes2703 Hi Max, David here. Just wanted to say I got back to you about two weeks ago, hope the message got through! Occasionally emails from my castlehunter account get caught in oblivion and never arrive, so just wanted to let you know in case that happened. Looking forward to finding out more and getting involved.
@@scotlanders2612 oh great, I haven't seen it but I'll take a look now! 😁
Hi Maxwell, did you make your documentary and if so, where would I be able to see it?
How did it get destroyed?
Would you know if William Crichton is buried in the Collegiate Church near the castle?
Crichton Castle is only 10km away from the Rosslyn Chapel which features in the Da Vinci Code.
Yeh, that film from 50 years ago
Just found this as it’s my surname and looking to take my son thanks 😊
Francis Stewart, dear...
Not Francis Bothwell.😉

When if ever we get through this global crisis 🧤😷😷 I'm going to come home
My great grand mother comes from
Southern Scotland , the Halls
Do you have any information for that name belonging to what was once a border castle ❓ The knowledge recently passed with my grandmother , long story short
I saw the family tree at her house in the 80s. , and then it disappeared
I suspect a family member but not a clue who 🤨 Scotch Irish perhaps ❓
would you be so kind as to share some of your favourite books to learn more about the history of Scotland?
Hi Chrise, David here. More than happy to! Anything by Tom Devine would be a good place to start, for instance 'The Scottish Nation' for history from 1700-2000. I really like 'Scotland: The Autobiography' edited by Rosemary Goring which conveys first-hand accounts; 'Scotland' by Michael Lynch is a good all-rounder; 'Scotland's Castles' by Chris Tabrahem zeroes in in castles; Alistair Moffat writes prolifically, with a general history being 'Scotland: A History From Earliest Times'. If you're after anything more specific then just let me know!
@@onaraisedbeach Thank you! Appreciate the reply :)
