    Thank you so much for the tour! It is an amazing place. The wood paneling is beautiful, and It will be wonderful to see it restored and all the windows clear. Managing this project must be crazy difficult. Finding skilled builders and preservationists, getting, moving, and storing materials, and then coordinating all the different contracters. Pretty mind blowing. The owners and all involved are a brave lot. Wishing you all good luck and safety for the duration.

    Thank you. This is an amazing building. Thank you for the walk through. I will watch with great interest as you bring the castle back room room. Finding craftsmen to do all the various repair, restore, and replace, the original paneling, the art work and the stained glass, etc. having those crafts past down to younger generations is so important into todays throw away society. It is impossible here, where I live as restoration is more a case of knock down and rebuild, or gut and modernize. I love watching artists at work on tradition crafts, I am hoping you will show some of those craftsmen working. Ronnie in Saskatchewan

And please make a little video about the history about the castle, the buildings around it, and the original layout of the castle, even though you do not have the original plans. I am so looking forward to the coming months and years following Knockderry Castle!!❤😊 Please introduce yourself too!😉 If you have any questions related to the viking era, regarding the viking room, please let me know, as it is in my line of work!(engineer working with all things viking) Good luck, and thanks for sharing your awesome videos!!
