A life in ruins? Well a good few hours anyway. Anyone want a stuffed Badger?

[@sandiandgregh]

That cathedral was stunning! Good fun for DeNiro on the Greyhound Walk. Such lovely dogs…oh…but he is the loveliest. :)

[@scotlandonashoestring]

We think so. Even if he is going through a petulant teenager phase :)

[@brendastewart39]

💕i agree.. fraggel rock was a treasure

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Loved it. I remember when they brought the puppets for a Jim Henson exhibition in Edinburgh, I spent hours wandering round!

[@BrigidC]

Sorry about the minor accident during the park run. I like that hat on Bex. She looked very sharp! Oh oh Deniro will smell that little cutie on you. 😊 An afghan hound? Enjoy the tour of the charity shops. Magnificent cathedral…to think it was built without a computer and autocad. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Love seeing DeNiro and all of his friends.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

We’re always amazed by some of the cathedrals. How many trees did it take to panel that big room?

[@belindawallace5203]

Excellent video as always - thank you for sharing your adventures 😊

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Our pleasure!

[@tanithmessenger3581]

Ripon and the Abbey are stunning, been awhile since I've been though. Lovely to see all the greyhounds together, so very well behaved!! 😀

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Imagine 100 yappy wee dogs.. we’ll stick to hounds.

[@tanithmessenger3581]

@@scotlandonashoestring eek no thanks 😂 For sure!😊💖🐾

[@AtaleofTattonTug]

stunning Cathedral - you can never have enough pointy nose cuddles - love our Saoirse moo hound she is far the best rescue we have ever owned - a real princess we couldnt do the GGW this year as too busy fitting out our narrowboat Tatton which Saoirse loves great vlog

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Ooh, narrowboat!! I almost bought one of those when I worked in Sheffield. Romantic notion of a boat right in the heart of the city.

[@AtaleofTattonTug]

@@scotlandonashoestring - yes we have loved exploring the canals and rivers on our cabin cruiser which was great for holidays but would like something a little bit robust so we bought a narrowboat shell and we are fitting her out and trying to vlog it (not sure which is more difficult🤣 - we would love to one day cruise the Scottish canals too but would probably hire boat

[@noraleestone2859]

That was some ruin! Looked better than my place on a good day. A cathedral with 2 organs? 🤔 Now I have to look up how many Westminster Abbey has. 😂😂😝 Great video, Iain. Loved seeing all the doggies. 🥰 See you next time. 🤩😘🤗👌👍👋

[@scotlandonashoestring]

It was an impressive old place for sure. How many organs is too many :)) ?

[@deereating9267]

Oh squee! Time Team did a Fountains Abbey episode. I am also excellent at falling over nothing. There should be a falling over nothing club.

[@mrs.jillaroo6907]

I'd join in a heartbeat..!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

There should definitely!! No idea how we manage it, Bex is getting a bit fed up with me tripping over :)

[@cathyp4342]

Bex is looking awesome in her crocheted sweater amongst the Greyhounds. I would have wanted to greet every dog there...Looked like a fun day. The cathedral was stunning. Thanks for taking the time to show us . Wow. I like your adventures whether you think they are planned or not . Doesn't matter to me always great content.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

We're not usually organised enough to plan things ;)

[@lisajahn6839]

Excellent episode! 😊🎉❤

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thanks, we had fun making it.

[@blakes4ontour]

Added both to our list. Apparently we've been there before 153 years ago but I can't remember!!!!!😂 Thanks for sharing! Ju 😁

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Well worth the effort. If you go for parkrun you can explore for free. *hint* you don’t have to run ;)

[@annwagner5779]

What a lovely video! I hope you are healed up from your trip - the one not lovely aspect. I really want to go visit Fountain’s Abbey - having seen it on both your video and a Time Team episode. Spectacular! I loved the cathedral and the angler’s tombstone. And, of course, 100 grey hounds would be hard to top. Wonderful! Thank you!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thank you for the nice words!! Fountains abbey was breathtaking with the advantage that there was no one there.

[@ebsinger3250]

Just in greenville, SC for a wedding and thought of you because we walked by the BEX cafe (and juice bar). Didn't stop....because, no scones!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

No scones!!??!! That’s not acceptable!

[@KathleenRobson-v3j]

I like fountains abbey 😁 it’s a good place to have a walk 😁 ripon is good too 😁

[@scotlandonashoestring]

It’s a lovely part of the world.

[@lydiaross2554]

Great episode

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Thank you. Foreign ones never do as well but we enjoy making them.

[@mikeilkycook6832]

You said organ! F'nar f'nar. BTW I have that Mike Harding - One Man Show album.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

If I knew anyone who would it’s you :)

[@FrankC321]

Cheese scone, now, if they were to bake those with jalapeno pepper's, you might be surprised. But your talking to the guy who would put jalapeno's on everything except hot and cold breakfast cereal. How long does it take to build those buildings, arches and details. And agree with everyone, greyhound walk, you folks are true dog lovers.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

A jalapeño cereal.. there’s a business idea!!

[@mrs.jillaroo6907]

Such a beautiful town!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

It really is!

[@loftylad2741]

Sorry, gave up with the Toon outing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but thanks for showing Greyhound walk, and DeNiro of course.

[@scotlandonashoestring]

He’s the star of the show :)

[@grapesodatravels]

Please tell me you bought the Mike Harding LP!

[@scotlandonashoestring]

Alas not. Need to get a record player first.
