    Gosh, Scotland definitely has some extraordinary history. It's amazing to learn about it, and I love to see old castles, they're fascinating. Also it's mind blowing to think that people, hundreds of years ago, would've stood there at the window looking at the same view you're looking at now, that's incredible, isn't it? But what a beautiful place. Loch Ness is glorious. ❤️

    Urquhart is a beautiful, peaceful place. It’s quiet and mesmerizing as you move around the castle. I’ve always been fascinated with the whole Loch Ness mystery. I do hope though that they never catch a Loch Ness monster, as they would probably torment them, as humans do. Great tour of the peaceful Urquhart Castle. Thanks once again for an excellent tour.

Loved the beautiful just beautiful scenery. Also the names and dates scratched into the wall, plus the ruins of the castle!

      This was the first day of our trip and we were quite lucky with the weather, sunny most of the time but a bit windy. Some grey days followed and stayed until we got to Skye later in our trip. Overall the weather was not to bad and if it rained we tended to be driving or indoors somewhere so it worked out ok.

      Yes, you are right, it's a common mispronunciation that people make and whilst you will see over the course of the videos, I get better at saying it right and even in the next video making a point of how to say it right, I will still get it wrong from time to time as its hard wired into me. There will be plenty of other pronunciation errors for other words as well.
