  • A tour around Castle Campbell, I visited the Castle December 30th, it was open to the public and due to the time of year it was very quiet, so we had the chance to walk around filming and taking photos. Recorded using a GoPro Hero3 on a Zhiyun Rider M gimbal, mounted on a Scorpion grip.
    Photos taken can be seen at / dylan__welsh__
    Castle Campbell set in the Dollar Glen, Ochil Hills Scotland. Mary Queen of Scots visited as did John Knox. First mentioned in a Papal Bull or charter issued by the pope in 1466, which it was called The Palace of Glowm, which lead to the later name of Castle Gloom. Earl Colin took over the castle in 1457 and petitioned King James IV of Scotland, to have the castle renamed Castle Campbell.

    I love that the "new" stairs are still over 400 years old. History is wonderful. 😀
    Fascinating. Well done. 👏👏🙂

    as a Clan Campbell descendant living in the US it is much appreciated that you have filmed this Castle Campbell tour ! More than likely I will never make it there to Dollar, and it is wonderful this is available to see from so far away !

    I love the big hearths. I would really love to see the laird’s solar and the lady of the castles day rooms. If I close my eyes, I can imagine the guards walking all around the wall walk at the top, while the laird and lady of the castle were supping the nooning in the great hall upon the dais, lol

    Thanks, guys. That was fun! As a Campbell (in America) I like to imagine myself living in the lord's chamber, but I'm probably a 9th generation grandson of a serf. Like other commenters, I'd love a little narration about what the rooms were. Unlike some, I love when your camera looks out the windows, because it's the same basic view the Campbells of old would have seen. And the sound of the burns made the hair on my neck stand. Well done!

      I so agree! We can't read the signs, maybe just tell us a bit. I found the toilets in castles we saw funny. Your area hung out in the air, because the toilet was built out.the poop, etc just fell out into a moat or down the castle wall.

    Thanks guys, that was a terrific look about the castle, done at my pace. You didn't miss a thing, even the sound of your boots, thank goodness you fixed them. You filmed this in the way I would have looked around in years gone by, well done and thanks again for taking me with you.

Luckily I did heaps of castles in the UK years ago thankfully with my dear old Dad, we had so many great times. That's why I love your posts, reminds of the old days I cherish so much, thanks again, stay safe and look forward to our nest outing. Pauline

    I haven't seen you for a while. Dylan is on Christmas break from university? This was a nice walkthrough.
    You found a couple of the original toilets. I always wondered what people used to wipe their asses with back then. I know the Romans had slaves with sponges on a stick behind you but not here. Lol
    That may seem a bit odd to ask but it is just from historical perspective.
    Happy New Year!

  • @robertclere9081

    I wonder if the builders of these castles had detailed plans or if they just started putting rocks together. The castles always seem to have passageways that go nowhere or windows in difficult to get at places.

    • @scoutthedoggie2002
      @scoutthedoggie2002  2 роки тому

      I guess they must have had some vague plan or idea. I imagine there must have been times when in their old wooden hut, they polished off a few bottles of malt and scribbled some plans on the back of something 😁

    Campbell is still such a popular surname, even here in the States. There's one in my lineage also. I wonder how many descendants came from that one clan!

    There must have been some major work to the castle in recent times to keep the main part in such a fair state that it is in. A nice slow walk of Castle Gloom(sp).....I like the older name better. ;)

    This castle is in amazing good condition. We did not tour it... I am descended from a long line of Mac Donalds. (With a bit of Alexander, Roxburgh, Cowie, Brown, Stuart, etc etc. ) The Campbell clan murdered a bunch 8f my ancesters.

    I'm not interested in the views out the windows or from the top. I am interested in the architectural features and the stone work. There were some highly worked pillars and you just walked right by them! Arches, corbels, fireplaces, lintels, window surrounds that sort of stuff. I appreciate you sharing what you do though. I'm never going to be able to visit these places myself.

    The only thing annoying me are the locked doors, not your boots.
    Put a glass door to view inside, it's not like the other opened areas aren't filled with crap/debris/clutter.
    What are they hiding?

    • @scoutthedoggie2002
      @scoutthedoggie2002  2 роки тому +2

      Some of the locked doors were bits the staff use for more storage, as the castle does have a cleaner / caretaker, not a position I would want, I'm too easily spooked.
