As someone who is hyper-sensitive to the pitch, pacing and timbre of narrative voices, online, I am delighted to listen to the clear articulation and beautiful voice of this narrator. Thank you.
I have to agree. A lovely voice made this video a treat. I hope she did more. So many places that I get to visit through the magic of youtube. Many thanks.
Could you imagine what this Castle would have look like before it was sacked. The filming was first class and the narration in a Scottish accent made even better, One more place to visit
Thank you for this fine production. It is all first-rate, but especially the photography. Maybe the best part is the comfortable pace at which the story is told.
Dunnottar castle was a surprise to me visually and historically . The filming and narration were first class . The importance in history of the castle became obvious and the story of British crown became clearer to me .... a fairly well educated Welshman ! Well done and I promise to inform others of your channel . I will subscribe .
What a beautiful well narrated tale of an important part of Scotland's national history, thank you, and the photography was immense (how did you get a dry sunny day?), my thanks to you all and we will be visiting Dunnottar as soon as we can, again very well done for a magnificent production, we look forward to more.
I’m lucky enough to have grown up in Stonehaven, It was fascinating to learn some of the rich history right on my doorstep. If you’re ever taking a walk up to the castle, look out for the 2 tombstones embedded in the wall of some victims of the plague I think they are dated circa 1603 (if my memory serves me correctly) they are very hard to read but you can make out a few bits and pieces
Greetings from New Zealand. Thank you for this very clear and informative nutation and superb photography. My great grandfather was born in Aberdeenshire and came out to New Zealand where he settled and made his home. My surname is COWIE. Thank you for this wonderful history lesson.🙋🏴🇳🇿 Scotland Forever !!!!!
Great documentary on Stonehaven and Dunnoter. I moved to Stonehaven 5 years ago and still walk past Dunnoter Castle in wonderment. Hopefully the new plans to add a visitor centre and housing nearby don't detract from its raw beauty.
I've been to Dunnottar with friends. This place has fascinated me. I wish I had better imagination as to what the intact buildings would have looked like. Rooms, fireplaces, furnishings, kitchens, etc. I agree with you, that I'd love to see a well-placed visitor's center, where perhaps a visual reconstruction would provide visitors like me, who need that visual image, to help me 're-build' the place as it would have looked to visitors & residents of the time. (PS: I live in Central Coast California, so am not likely to ever get back there. Sigh.)
Thank you , I am Keith and have always wished to visit. This is awesome in the views and history. My family left in the 1830's and came to the Unied States.
Thank you. I have a forebear born May 1771 at Fetteresso just outside of Stonehaven. Occupation, sailor, keeper of Dunnottar Castle and Feuar. From his obituary............... Obituary - Aberdeen Herald; many years keeper of Dunnottar Castle, and was much appreciated for his admirably graphic and interesting description of that ancient ruin". Bards of Bon-Accord mentions that John .......... was employed on famous smacks that sailed from Aberdeen - London. Came into Aberdeen about 1814 when he was 43. He probably had been a sailor before becoming keeper at Dunnottar. Thank you again for a beautiful presentation
My mum was a Keith, but we never knew the old history until I discovered it in my Ancestry research, which traces back to Dunnottar .How I wish she could have lived to know this history of her father's ancestors.❤
Thank you so much! I visited the castle in 1996,. The tale of the English soldiers hiding in the chapel and being burned alive by William Wallace was horrifying. I think the vault where the prisoners were kept also has some examples of licking stones, stones with small indentations made by prisoners constantly licking the stone for condensation water. I think i still have the little booklet that is a guide to Dunnottar Castle lying about. Nice to see Marishal College got a powerwash, it was a lot greyer when I last saw it! I love the granite buildings in Aberdeen, when the sun hits them right they sparkle pink.
@@murdochmclennan3510 oh please it was times of War . Look at how the English butchered Wallace when they captured him. Hung drawn & quartered . Now that’s savage.
Really enjoyed the video. Very interesting and informative, but not OTT. Great balance. The only time I was at the castle was in the late 60's when I was a kid and the Cellar where the covenanters were held, scared the 💩 out of me. I've often wondered what the small building was at Dunnottar Kirk when up at family graves. Now I know. Thanks.
Hi, im a direct decendent of the 10 Earl Marischals and keith family (and chatti) and Came here to learn more about it so thank you, and if anyone else knows any history regarding them id love to hear it
Ive watch the series story of James Frazer, ive seen some scene ih here, while listening the soft narator voice and watching the video im imagining some scene of Outlander...the cruelty of the people in 13th century upto 17th, same as our situation in the Philippines in time of Spanish era for 300years....Glad i am in the 19th Century...
Such beautifull history , and those buildings are fantastic.. Those stone masons were expert stone cutters . and the cement has also lasted for centuries not like modern day cement ...
21:07 Not correct. Both Scots and English parliments were ajourned. (Not a permanent act) Then a new UK parliment was instated. Subject to various conditions in the treaty of Union. Pay attention to these facts - They are very important.
Great video Kate Gordon. If your a Gordon, your a Keith decendant just like me. I also decend from King James IV, so I decend from a lot of these people like James Graham shown in the video. Elizabeth Keith married George Gordon Earl of Huntly. I also decend from two of her sisters. One who married Lyon and the other a Douglas.
thank you for this peep at a castle that I had never heard of - thank you for the clarity of your delivery too. Looking forward to more warfare between our two countries when they separate, what larks eh?

I will pass on your comment to Kate. She will appreciate it.
I have to agree. A lovely voice made this video a treat. I hope she did more. So many places that I get to visit through the magic of youtube. Many thanks.
You old pervert
I know what you really want
Yes a lovely listening voice 😊❤

Dunnottar Castle is one of the most interesting places in Scotland; it is spectacular.
My mum was a Keith, but we never knew the old history until I discovered it in my Ancestry research, which traces back to Dunnottar .How I wish she could have lived to know this history of her father's ancestors.❤
love your content!
Wow 👏, and wonderful production, 😍
My dear Lady, your movie and explanation are amazing. Thank you so much for having delivered both of them. Greetings from Italy. All the best

weerwolfproductions: The story about Wallace having burned people alive has haunted me for years: He was no "Braveheart".

Even a local Arbroathian has visited Stony on many occasions. It's a bonnie toon. & We've been up to Dunotter Castle too.

thank you for the info i never knew it had so much to do in Scottish history, apart from keeping the Crown jewels safe
At 9:56, it is NOT the Declaration of "our brother": It isthe Declaration of ARBROATH!
'Aberbrothoc', originally
Lovely voice❤

Thank you
Rich history beautifully unveiled. And it all ends strangely with Hollywood. So be it.
Get a Historic House membership and visit for free. We got to go into many such places in Northern England and Scotland, its really worth it!
Great video Kate Gordon. If your a Gordon, your a Keith decendant just like me. I also decend from King James IV, so I decend from a lot of these people like James Graham shown in the video. Elizabeth Keith married George Gordon Earl of Huntly. I also decend from two of her sisters. One who married Lyon and the other a Douglas.
As Bruce Fummey describes it's not the English Civil War it's the battle of the three Kingdoms
thank you for this peep at a castle that I had never heard of - thank you for the clarity of your delivery too. Looking forward to more warfare between our two countries when they separate, what larks eh?
Very good 'at. I'm a Kincorth loon bit hiv bade in Steenhive fer near on 30 year noo like.
The Nagas are offended being called goblins.
Here's another guy with a goofy look on his face and a creepy mustache. He was a big deal back in the day.
My guess is it was a fight with the Gaels as the Vikings initially attacked easy targets. Dunnotar is practically impregnable.
thank you
