Great bird footage, could watch them all day 😍 Stunning castle, hopefully they restore it well so it can be visited. Nookie and the socks 🤣🤣

[@roaminginraymond]

The birds were so lovely and it was cold so we had to give them something. Yeah, the castle is really nice, just a shame it wasn't open. Nook does love a sweaty sock the weirdo!😆🐕

[@patriciayassin2983]

Love those wee birdies!.....so cheeky and full of attitude! 😍🥰

[@roaminginraymond]

Yes, lovely to see and always great to get the camera out and just leave it there while they do their own thing.

[@countryvanlifeuk]

All the castles are under winter repairs that Ive seen in past 2 months and closed But still awesome to see with no crowds ehh Lovely vlog Helen 😘 Karl👊 hugs #teambrummies 👊👍🦋🐾🚐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥰

[@roaminginraymond]

Yeah, we went to another one on our way back into England and that was closed and under repair too. Agree, it's lovely to get these places to yourself at this time of year. Hope you and Skye are doing OK.🥰#teambrummies

[@blakes4ontour]

Lovely selection of birds there! The scaffolding is still up then. It was shut when we were there in the summer. Nice place though! Buooooooyyyyyyeeeeee! Xxxx

[@roaminginraymond]

Yeah, scaffolding still up and still closed. Shame really. Byyyeeeee

[@mmintravel7926]

It was funny seeing the birds picking up the bread, then seeing a bigger bit. It's like you know what they are thinking, I am hungry and I want that big piece of bread. Wow that is a really beautiful castle and the moat is epic, very romantic ruins.

[@roaminginraymond]

The castle is really nice. Shame it wasn't open but it's in a nice location and a really nice style of castle too. You'd both like it.

[@VintageRVAdventures]

That looks a cracking free park up. I bet that castle looks lovely when free of the scaffolding, they must be getting it presentable for the summer season. Lovely video filming of the birds, nice close up detail, so many species of birds too.

[@roaminginraymond]

It's a really good park up and relaxing when it's quiet, but with better weather to sit out and use the picnic benches that are there. Nice walk to the castle too and all for free. Lots of lovely birdlife too to keep you entertained through the window with your morning cuppa.😊

[@vansforthememories]

Aww birdies so cute 🥰 lovey footage of them. Looks an interesting place😎 Em 💜

[@roaminginraymond]

Yeah the birds were lovely. Thanks Em.

[@tommurtagh2277]

We are loving your look round Dumfries and Galloway and the music good choice Mr B. Take care God bless Tom and Rosie 💕

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks very much Tom. Have a lovely weekend both.

[@CharliesVanlife]

Just brilliant looks amazing, it's on my bucket list Just hoping my bucket don't get a leak lol take care and stay safe my lovelys 😉👍👊😁

[@roaminginraymond]

Lol Charlie. It's a great spot to overnight and there's another on the coast up the road but we didn't go there this time.

[@wanderingbychoice]

Great looking place guys, loved the birds, and the castle looks amazing 🙏

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks. The birds were lovely. Could sit and watch them for hours.

[@maryfennell9672]

Another lovely video, loved seeing the birdies feeding. The castle and moat looks amazing.

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Mary. We had to feed the birds when the feeders were empty and it was a great filming opportunity too.😊 The castle was great and very unusual in style.

[@Rob.1340]

Nice park up. Tree reflection looked good in the water. Stay well and safe travels. All the best. 👍🐾🚐🐾😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Rob. It is a nice place. Gets busy in the summer but great to have these places available.

[@ericlacey6593]

Pleased to see you back in Scotland, thanks for the super shots of so many different birds and I think I spotted a nuthatch, we don’t seem to get them our way . Lovely walks for bird watching and very interesting pictures and information about the castles ( always love a bit of history) 👍Bad luck about Nookie not allowed in the cafe , you missed out on your usual hot chocolate. Take care Byyyeee and Byyyeee to Nookie 🚐👍

[@roaminginraymond]

You're right Eric, it was a nuthatch. Such lovely birds. We would get them where I used to live but never in the garden unfortunately. I could watch the birds for hours. Yeah, shame about the cafe. Byyyeeeee Eric.😊

[@getawaygeese]

Enjoyed the video so thanks for producing - Galloway looks a great part of Scotland we have yet to step foot in. Loved that castle ruin Keep trucking guys

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks very much both. It's a great park up. Always nice to get places where you're welcomed.

[@Wizardinthewild]

Nice birdie shots. Nice to get the aires. Lovely walks. Two castles for the price of one. 👍. Thank you.

[@roaminginraymond]

It's a great stop and isn't far from the Glencaple one you stayed at.

[@Wizardinthewild]

@@roaminginraymond yes I think it’s just a few miles further up. Looked a nice castle. Never seen one that shape either. I never would have thought of leaving the camera on the table for filming the birds. Gonna Nick that idea. 🤣

[@roaminginraymond]

@@Wizardinthewild lol, you're welcome to, it's a good way of filming them without disturbing them.

[@rowanstravels8038]

Hi you three we are up there in a couple of weeks ,we are loving all the videos great stuff keep them coming great shots of the birds feeding all the best have a great time up there.Paul & Gail❤

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. It's a great stop if you're going through Dumfries and Galloway to head north, especially if you need water too. We always like to stop where Nanook can get a good walk. Have a great time when you go.😊

[@rowanstravels8038]

@@roaminginraymond we only got about 4 days on the next trip so will be knocking around Dumfries area lookds a great stop we may give it a go,thanks 🙂

[@roaminginraymond]

It is, and if it's sunny you can sit out cos of the picnic benches there. There's a park up at Glencaple too at the pier but we didn't go there but will next time.

[@rowanstravels8038]

@@roaminginraymond Carnt wait sounds great

[@roaminginraymond]

It's a peaceful spot. Have fun. We love Scotland.

[@DesmondsDonders]

Nice one, we have never been to the castle despite a number of visits with the caravan and motorhome. Next time perhaps.

[@roaminginraymond]

The castle might be open when you get to go lol. It is very nice there.

[@paulyoung6165]

Hi There Hope Alls Well , Great video of the unusual castle , And you found a nice walk too, shame the cafe didnt allow Nookie, just think of the trade they have lost , o well nookie has got his socks to play with LOL,ours dogs do the same , well thanks for sharing , Take care All ,

[@roaminginraymond]

Glad you enjoyed it. It is an unusual shaped castle and agree about the no dogs thing. But as you say, their loss.🐶 Nookie does love a sock to chew on 😆🐕

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Spent 3 weeks over Xmas and New Year in D&F. Sadly most castles had fencing around. Still a absolutely beautiful area to explore. The Mull is amazing to explore. Keep loving the adventure both

[@roaminginraymond]

Yeah we went to another castle and it was closed as they were working on it. Dumfries and Galloway is lovely.

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

As we say in Nottm Bog-eh! Lovely walk! Cool seeing the old castle ruins and the more modern one!

[@roaminginraymond]

Yeah the castle was nice, shame it wasn't open but maybe we will go back some time.

[@RaymondoLeeTravel]

@@roaminginraymond should be by the spring?

[@roaminginraymond]

Hopefully yes. Bound to be by Easter for the kids. There's quite a few closed and having work done. Although Blake's 4 On Tour went last year and think it was shut then and am sure that was in the Summer. Suppose it depends how structurally unsafe it is.

[@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957]

Well done Nookie got his Tartan hat. I was same place last year, I will be back this summer hopefully. A lot to explore around this part of Scotland.

[@roaminginraymond]

I remember you going there Richard. It is a good park up, especially when it's quiet. We were the only ones there.

[@simonfirth360]

QUICK !! get Nookie to the vet's ..... think he's lost his sense of smell. 😂😂😂😂 Great video as always. 😉

[@roaminginraymond]

Ha ha, he bloody must have too!😆 Thanks very much Simon.😊

[@BentleyOnTour]

Right up my street, those two castles. On my list they go. Those birdies were great too. Laughed at one which kept dropping its bread down the gaps!! Cool park up too. Martin

[@roaminginraymond]

Lol, glad someone spotted the dopey blue tit with the bread, it made me chuckle too. Definitely your kind of place. Got your water and loo emptying and picnic bench. Just a donation if you have cash on you. We stuck a fiver in. It does get busy in the Summer though so I'd go out of season. Free to walk around the grounds of the castle but presume you need a ticket once it's properly open again to get inside the building itself.

[@BentleyOnTour]

@@roaminginraymond Yes I think travelling in a motorhome out of season has got to be more enjoyable. Fiver is reasonable I think too. I did do some filming over last couple of days and I was astonished how much some of these campsites charge for electric. Taking the p155 😄

[@roaminginraymond]

I agree, but then I suppose some people take the p155 with the usage and it has a knock on effect to those that don't use so much. Definitely think out of season has its benefits. Less people!😆

[@BentleyOnTour]

@Roaming in Raymond Motorhome Adventures I mean how much electric can you use in a motorhome in one night? Never been to a metered site.

[@roaminginraymond]

Not sure, but I know when we used to park on Karl's drive and plug in and have the heating on, it would kill the electric. But lots of sites are seasonal where people wouldn't really be having the heating on anyway so bugger knows.🤔

[@theellmersadventures]

Hello hello how you all doing and wow great scenery on the coast but looks like you had some bad. Weather poor Karl I bet he was a right mess cycling through all the puddles and the mud it's a good job he didn't slip on the bike and fall well you all take care all the best love from us all

[@roaminginraymond]

Thanks Jamie. We did have some naff weather but it was really nice there too.

[@theellmersadventures]

@@roaminginraymond ow good as long as your having a great time that's all that matters

[@roaminginraymond]

It certainly is.😊

[@ttxela]

Nice area, we're hoping to get back up to Scotland soon 👍

[@roaminginraymond]

It's so lovely and this is a great stop as it's got what you need and it's free too, or a donation.

[@garrystacey7018]

Interesting video thank for sharing we are doing Scotland in mid March Starting from Carlisle

[@roaminginraymond]

That sounds great. Apparently you can overnight at Carlisle Castle which we'd love to do sometime. We might be back in Scotland then.

[@janepowell5679]

Dumfries and Galloway just didn’t do it for me when I visited. The highlands we’re calling ❤😊. X

[@roaminginraymond]

We like Dumfries and Galloway. It hasn't got the dramatic scenery of some of the Highlands, but it has some beautiful coastline.

[@janepowell5679]

I think I need to revisit and take my time . Camper Vibe found some epic places .. 😊xx

[@roaminginraymond]

Yeah, there are some beautiful places in D&G. Always much quieter too.
