NEARLY TAKEN OUT - and a CHILLING RUINED CASTLE - SCOTLAND MOTORHOME TOUR (10)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 чер 2024
- Hello guys,
This was a scary couple of days in more ways than one.
Travelling in our Motorhome Florrie, between Invercoe campsite and Maragowan at Killin, we drove up the pass at Glencoe. The road is narrow and we had a couple of hairy moments, especially at one narrow bridge, where an Artic was coming down at speed!!
And then on to Maragowan Campsite near Killin, where we viewed the stunning Falls of Dochart, a must visit location.
Then, early the next morning, I walked to the banks of Loch Tay - passing the ruined castle at Finlarig.
I have to say, that the hairs on the back of my neck were raised - despite the beautiful location and the birds singing, it really was a evocative and eerie place. Goosebumps time!
Discover its grisly history, as I made a swift exit!!
Thanks so much for watching guys, it really means a lot to us.
Dave & Sue

Like 5 👍 💯 ❤
Narrow roads! Close call with the bus. Dang! Awesome camp spot by the river. Neat to see the river and the old mill. Awesome castle and ruins. Thanks for the tour. Have a great day.
Thanks Steve
Weird atmosphere at that old Castle - early morning g with mists swirling. Didn’t hang around long!
Yes those roads are narrow across that pass - too many going too fast there!!!
Great to watch your tour of Scotland. The roads are more narow and winding than in most places so you have to drive careful and slow.😊😊😊
Indeed Soren, the roads are great mostly, but Glencoe seems more difficult than others as it narrows suddenly
Also it’s difficult to keep your eyes on the road with that incredible scenery all around! 😃
Another nice video. Have a fantastic evening. Take care 👍
Thanks Arnstein - it was such a beautiful place!!
Thanks for sharing this awesome trip 😊
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed this one and hope you’re having a good week 👍👍👍
Hello from your friends in Naples, Florida. Very nice! We enjoyed the ride and the castle. Thanks for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great week 👍 💯 ❤
Thanks very much guys. Hope you’re doing well 👍👍👍
Thank you, Dave. I immediately checked my channel as soon as I saw this bridge again🙂 Everything is fine on the channel, no anomalies. But the anomalies started later in the video. It's a very interesting place. Your scenario reminded me of the film "The Blair Witch Project" where, according to the director's idea, the whole shooting was done from the first person on an amateur camera. The appearance of the lake was very beautiful. And of course the scenery with mountains and clouds was stunning. A really good trip.
Ha thanks Serge.
I don’t really believe in ghosts or spirits - but that castle made me feel uncomfortable! I visited just after dawn with the mists still around. It was quiet and very atmospheric.
Yes, sorry about the Blair Witch filming - I was a bit spooked 😃😃
But a stunningly beautiful area. Honestly didn’t think we would be able to match the West Coast of Scotland for scenery, but it did. Different but still so beautiful!
Dave, Sue. That sequence with the Lorry reminds us of our conversations about things coming the other way. Finlarig is a lovely castle. So a few heads were lost, routine I expect for your average castle. PS The volume is off on our Dashcam too. LOL
😃. I couldn’t actually hear what I said on the dashcam Dave. Maybe just as well!
Finlarig is amazing! I went up there just after dawn and the mist was rolling through.
Very very atmospheric. Don’t believe in all that but was a bit spooked!
Too many clowns on that road like. Killin is a lovely place. Cracking walk to Loch Tay Dave. Never knew about that castle
It was a close one mate.
Loved that walk to Loch Tay. But that ol Castle honestly had me a bit spooked. Up there very early with the mists around - never really feel like this but there it was really weird
Have a good weekend Kev 👍👍
Wow that sounds scary meeting that lorry on the tiny road - I hope you’re both ok! It’s great to see the beautiful castle even if it is slightly spooky! Thanks for sharing
Thanks. We were fine! Although that lorry was going so fast and I had no where to go. Luckily there was no one behind me.
The Castle was very strange. I’ve never felt anything like that I don’t think. Very atmospheric and a bit weird!!
Thanks for watching and hope you’re having a good week 👍👍👍
Hello Dave and Sue, beautiful views as you drive along. Another lovely campsite right along side the river. A lovely walk around the village. The forest looked amazing. The Castle ruins were very eerie. It sounds a very gruesome place. The Loch Tay was beautiful. Take care x Julie and Tony x
Loved Maragowan Julie and Tony. Special site - highly recommended. The Falls are wonderful but that. Castle wouldn’t be somewhere I would go back to on my own - and I don’t believe in that stuff at all. Very “atmospheric”😃
Loch Tay was amazing to see - it just sort of came out of the mist. Very beautiful.
Another lovely site Dave by the riverside which hopefully won’t flood in a storm, loved the water wheel and falls. You should have visited the old castle at night, that would have been exciting for you, and I loved the scene at lock Tay, what a view.
All the best,
Ivor.
It was a really lovely site Ivor, yet anothe one where we should have booked for longer!
That Castle was bad enough in the mists of early morning mate, wouldn't have wandered around there at night. 😃
Very atmospheric and I don't believe in Ghosts or spirits! Goosebumps and it wasn't cold! 😦
Yikes, the semi/lorry drivers can be scary here in Canada, too. I feel like driving from place to place would be the most stressful part of having a motorhome. Those roads are definitely narrow though, and all the tourists pulling off/merging back on the road and walking around wouldn't help. Fantastic area though. Loved seeing that working water mill and that wide river with all the rocks - so beautiful! Those castle ruins were pretty amazing, too. Would have been awesome to see how it looked back in the day. Great tour, Dave & Sue!
Thanks Donna. Very kind of you. Yes the roads are pretty narrow in that area and when you get a big lorry flying into a narrow section it’s not great! 😃😃
But all was fine - managed to brake and stop and luckily no one behind me.
The Village and falls and that mill were so worth visiting. Another location where we wished we had stayed longer. 🤦🏻♂️
And the Castle was so atmospheric! I’m not normally affected by this sort of thing but I was pretty spooked to be honest.
Another great location though!
Hi Dave and Sue,
Another fantastic installment of your Scottish tour guys. Glens, lochs and haunted castles! Don't think it gets any more Scottish than that! 😂🤩👌. The drive through Glen Coe certainly looked dicey, we aren't sure we would fancy it in a motor home, bad enough in a car! Whoah! What was that lorry driver playing at? Scary 😨😮. Rannoch moore is such a fascinating place, we remember hearing the sad stories of the ponies being lost to the bog there 😢. The Kings House Hotel is absolutely beautiful, well worth a stop for lunch if you are up there again. We stopped there with Pete's mum on one trip to the highlands, and some Americans helicoptered in for lunch! A memorable trip! 😊❤. What a gorgeous campsite and a perfect pitch by the river👌. The old water mill at the falls was so cool, and the falls themselves stunning 😍. Ooh very spooky castle! 😮 🏰. Scotland's history is so bloody, a fair few ghosts around there for sure! We wouldn't have wanted to leave this site either, that spot by the Loch was so peaceful. Thank you for taking us along, look forward to the next one guys 😊
Have a great weekend,
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Hi guys.
Hope you’re doing well. We just turned up at a Show so just a brief comment.
Yep that drive is incredible isn’t it and the Kings house hotel story is crazy!!
We nearly didn’t make it with that driver!!
The Castle was so atmospheric - I’m not one for ghosts and spirits but this place really got to me especially as it was misty and very early on.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Shell and Pete - means a lot 👍👍
That was great Dave. The river was incredible and I can imagine it a torrent in winter. Loved that castle 👌
That driver in the truck was bonkers, as there’s no need of those kind of speeds on such little roads but also in the rain 🤷🏻♂️🙄
Very nearly didn’t make it Phil. I had no where to go. And I wasn’t going past on that bridge! Luckily no one behind to hit me!! 🤦🏻♂️
That's some scary driving on those narrow roads!! Good thing you all stayed safe! Another really nice camping location- they all seem peaceful and convenient for shopping too. Pretty spooky exploring at the old castle, especially with all the trees and plants growing so close by, seemed like the birds loved it. I think we'd enjoy staying several days at each of the places you've visited- Scotland's natural beauty is wonderful! Thanks for sharing guys!! 👍👍
I think that near enough all of the places we stopped at, we would have stayed longer Jen. It's the main thing we learned I think. Don't try and see everything at once, take a bit of time to relax into a location.
This site was just beautiful - and the walk to the loch was really wonderful in the early morning.
The Castle was very weird. I honestly can't explain it - the whole atmosphere had a chill to it - and I just felt that I had to whisper to camera. I didn't hang around long, even thoug I just don't believe in ghosts or the like. I don't think that the mists hangaround helped much either!! 😃
@@NBNatureTrailvan I know what you mean about the castle ruins - just a bit eerie! Hopefully you can go back and stay longer at some of the places- it’s really wonderful!
Yet another beautiful place, Scotland must be right up there for stunning locations. Unfortunate about that Lorry, you get some idiots on the road.
Loved the effects for the castle segment, looked a creepy place to wondering around. Love places like that and that spot were you rested, stunning would have been an understatement, lol.
That Castle was a very weird place Jay, seriously - I had goosebumps and I don’t even believe in all that stuff. Maybe it was because it was very early in the morning and the mists were down. Whatever it was I didn’t hang around. Weird place!!
Language David...made me laugh...reminded me of that program with Ronnie Corbett from years ago. It was a tad close tho being on your side of the road. I was meant to be staying near Killin at Lochearnhead a couple of weeks ago but had car trouble so cut my trip short. Would have been awesome had we bumped into each other on the off chance. Wanted to explore Killin and the falls whilst there so now making me jealous. They sure look worth a visit. Never heard of Finlarig Castle before. Looks like not many people had either judging by how peaceful it was. The graves looked pretty well tended in the main. Never been to the banks of Loch Tay but usually see it from above in the mountains. Scotland sure is beautiful. Sorry I've not been around much of late I took a few weeks break from all things UA-cam
😃😃. Couldn’t actually hear what I said when I played it back Paul but it obviously wasn’t upload able 😃
Killin was great - we wished we had stayed longer than just an overnight. Those Falls are deafening!
Well sometimes you need a YT break mate - I’ve had a few
And it’s a small world isn’t it! We bumped into a couple we only know from YT in Largs.
Looking forward to seeing some more of your Scottish trip 👍👍
Hi guys, the views that you show as you're driving around Scotland are stunning, sometimes remind me of a bigger version of North Wales. That campsite is lovely and no wonder it was your favourite with all of the hills around. Nice walking tour, the little shop buildings were cute, shame most were closed . Loved the sound of rushing water and that castle ruin was beautiful and interesting and so quiet around there even making you whisper 😃
Loved the Loch too, a nice place to rest with the birds singing as you walked back. That was another very beautiful place 🙂👍~ Anna
Thanks Anna.
There were a few sites where we wished we had stayed longer. This was one of them! Really beautiful and very relaxing
Killin and the falls was lovely but I wouldn’t go back to that Castle just after dawn again. The mists made it feel very strange - it felt like I had to whisper! I don’t believe in ghosts at all, but I must admit that place had a weird atmosphere!
Was glad to leave it and hike down to the Loch.
Such a gorgeous area.
Hope you guys are having a good week 👍👍👍
@@NBNatureTrailvan I know what you mean, sometimes old ruins can seem strange when not many people are around ....😯🏰 All good here thanks hope it is there with you both too :)
I loved wandering around Finlarig castle, did you find the beheading pit, that was a bit gory lol.. Killin is one of those places that we usually drive through haha, noticed the local shop seems to be in the middle of renovation, or at least I hope so. Used to get great Fish & Chips from a van in the main car park, but that was a long time ago. Hope you are both well, love from us xx
Hi Lindsay, couldn’t be sure that I found the be heading pit, the ground sloped away to the North - but what a place it is. Very very atmospheric, gave me goosebumps and for some weird reason I felt I had to whisper! 😃
Killin was a lovely little place, another one where we wished we had stayed for longer.
We’re fine thanks, off to the National Show this morning for the weekend but might not last more than a couple of days 😃
I so wanted to visit Finlarig Castle (since it's a Campbell castle) but it just wasn't going to work out on our route. What a place! Glad you got to visit and share it.
Absolutely loved that site and Killin Finlarig and Loch Tay.
The Castle was really rather unnerving! I was there very early on my own and with the mists around it was very eerie! I don’t normally worry about that but this felt like a very strange place.
The signage didn’t help much either!
@NBNatureTrailvan seeing the falls would have been a treat. That was another reason that route would have been nice to do. I can see what you mean by the castle, though.
Yikes, I see you have some of the same drivers we have on this side of the pond! Now that's a pretty river area and an awesome waterwheel for sure...great to see it in operation!! Yup, I'm thinking you should have pulled right up beside the graveyard and spent the night! Or maybe even pitched a tent in the forest! Not!! lol Oh dear, my mom would have wanted to get to that Christmas shop for sure!!
Ha thanks Bruce.
Well, I’m not one to believe in ghosts and ghoulies, but I tell you, this place was very atmospheric! The mists were down and it was just after dawn. And the hairs of the back of my neck stood up as I walked around
It felt I really needed to whisper too, which was weird.
Anyway, another great stop over, so many places where we wished we had stayed longer!
I much prefer the Glencoe road to the A9, the lorries 🚛 can come thundering at you, but at least there’s not as many 😅 Lovely campsite 😁 So much peace up there, Em 💜
Loved that site Em. Another one where we wished we had stayed longer.
Currently at our first show at Newark and not sure what to expect! 🤞
@@NBNatureTrailvan have a good time 😎
@@vansforthememories thanks Em
We had a fun night last night (I think) 😃
Oh I went to that castle, really odd feel to the place 😮
It’s so weird isn’t it Cara. It was early morning, the mists were around and I was pretty spooked to be honest. I honestly felt that I had to whisper on camera!!
The Mausoleum is a bit chilling and the history very grisly!
@@NBNatureTrailvan I didn’t hang around there long and thankfully I wasn’t alone. Not sure how I would have felt being alone there .😏
@@openmindedwonderer most evocative place I’ve been for a long time!
