It's not obvious from the video, but the mine and countermine are very small and cramped - no surprise really, because they're dug through solid rock !

Thanks from nz.always a no nonsense vid.

Great camera work and narration. (San Francisco, California, USA)

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you from Texas. Hoping I’ll get to Scotland someday, but until then, you are fulfilling my Scottish dream. ❤️

Really enjoyed your videos, this year went to Gyen castle on the Isle kerrera but couldn't find much about its history could be one for a future video?

I'm lucky enough to walk my wee dog around Doune castle every Sunday morning. She's a beauty right enough. Thank you Emily you do a wonderful job with these videos

great video, you'll struggle to visit a castle near me, don't have many in Adelaide. lol

Just found you and subscribed. I appreciate the history you share about these ancient places. I've been researching my early ancestors and love seeing the places where they lived.

Hi Castle

finally, a place named a palace. it actually looks like a 🏰

One of the guides told me people always walk towards the window on the first floor where the entrance used to be.

On the rear of the castle, in the longest wall, there is a very large arched doorway yet it seems to be walled-up only a few feet inward. Why was there such a large arched doorway there and why is it now walled up? Generally, castles had only a single entrance that would’ve been protected by a gatehouse, and if there was a back doorway, it would’ve been a small, perhaps hidden sally port, not a a giant door without a gate house. any explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.

You need to turn the volume of the music down so we can hear what you are saying

This is my family castle as I am a Maxwell on my father's side.

Excellent to learn about the history 😊👍

Mary wasnt related to liz 1,her father had married henry the eighth sister,so dont know where that came from,has been documented.

My relative being born there.shame it cant be renovated.

James IV, not IIII.

My grandparents lived in one of the farm cottages there ,the castle was my play ground ,.the fun I used to have

That poor beautiful castle sure took more than it's fair share of beatings over the centuries.

Wonderful video…so much history..so interesting ..thank you!

I miss you castle girl, great to see you again! Enjoyed this one along with many others over the years. A very grand thank you!

We always enjoy your videos and history. Thank you so much once again.

Thank you for sharing we had our wedding photos taken there in 1997 after being married at gretna green and we are still together

That was my local castle when I lived in Dumfries when I was a boy in the early 1960's. I cycled there a few times with friends. I understood it meant fort amongst the rushes or something similar. In the mid sixties I occasionally exercised the dogs of the then current Lady Maxwell for pocket money. Nice video & nice to see the old place again. I have lived in the antipodes now, for several decades. I seem to recall there was some talk of a much earlier Roman fort in the same area.

I didn't know that this channel existed. I just subscribed. I very much like the presentation and the accent is wonderful also. I am half Scotch so this history is important to me.

Thanks for the great video

Thank you. I enjoy your videos.
