- Hi! Welcome to my Scotland's Castles channel. Here I will share my photos and videos of Scottish Castles that I have visited or recommend you check out. If you are a Scottish history fan or are just interested in visiting some interesting places in Scotland to visit then this is a good place to start.
I will take you to castles all over Scotland and the Scottish Islands that are well worth a visit if you are from Scotland or planning a trip in the future. There is nothing more exciting and interesting than the history of Scotland.
The smallest of all castle ruins but looks like one Solid Masterpiece
Proud to be a decent of Clan Mackay
Massive Love and Respect from Dunedin New Zealand 🌹🌹
I really appreciate the indepth history!
I am planning to visit next year, as a descendant of Clan McKay I feel I have to do this pilgrimage and drink in that epic view!
What a spectacular setting 😍 I always think its such a shame so little is known of the history of some of these places. They deserve to have their stories told in full frequently since they are a thread in the weave of our countries long magnificent tale and have proudly stood sentinel over the land for century after century. Thank you wee castle girl for your time and your dedication bringing these wonderful buildings to life and to our attention
Thank you and your welcome. It is my intention to ensure Scotland’s history is told and by bringing these wonderful structures to life again through film is my passion. ❤️🏴
@@thecastlegirl7033 that's a noble cause and I for one will eagerly follow you every inch of the way. You're a national treasure and should have a blue plaque on the front of your house 😉 Keep up the exceptional work please
@@thecastlegirl7033 Hi! You mention the castle can be visited by boat, is there a place from which you can hike there? If so, where to leave the car? Thanks!
@@theastronomer5800 hi you can park in the village of Tongue and walk up the gravel path.👍❤️🏴
Seems that it would have been a lookout tower and they would have used a ladder to get to the different floor levels. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Great video! I visited the Highlands last summer, but didn't get time to visit Varrich, so it was great to see it from your excellent drone shots and detailed information
I would have been inside the tower taking in the feelings & contemplating how it might have looked when it was newly built, which you didn't give time for since you were busy whizzing around ! Otherwise a very informative video - thank you !
As a Mackay -- I approve this video. 😊

Love your Castle Tours Emily! You and your team are Simply The Best! Will you be visiting Dean Castle, Kilmarnock maybe? Lol. Love from Sunny Ayr 💙❤️🏴💜🖤
Hi,
Wonderful videos! I always enjoy the nice mix of aerials, inside shots, and detailed history. You obviously care a lot about what you are doing.
You are very fortunate to have seen these castles before the closures took effect. Do you know when more castles will open? Very few castles are fully open. HES has 80 sites that are fully closed. All “open” sites are still 30% to 70% closed, so it is tough to see everything. HES said they would be completing the evaluations on 3 sites each year. It took 3 years to do just one. That does not include any actual repairs. At this rate, it will take 240 years to complete the evaluations. Thirty percent of Scotland tourism is attributed to visiting castles. This will no doubt take a hit.
Thanks,
Sven
Thanks Sven for your statistical report. So glad you appreciate my work. This is a hobby for me so will continue documenting the castles I can access. Luckily most of the castles I love are ruins and can be accessed easily after hours. In 240 years unfortunately most will have vanished from our landscape. However my plight is to remember the historical value of how they shaped our society today.😢 xx❤️🏴
Another brilliant video; would it be possible to show a screen shot type thing of the locations from Google maps or whatever for those of us more familiar with the South of Scotland ? Thanks anyway !

Thats a hell of a structure for being so small. They don't believe it was part of something larger?
Very cool.
Whats the doggies name?🙂
I’m afraid there’s not much history of the earlier structures. Jetta is the doggy!❤️🏴
