We did a month long tour of the UK in 2022 and were fortunate to visit and explore this beautiful castle. I vividly remember the gorgeous gown with the beetle wings and feel lucky to have seen it since it will not always be on display.

Bit further back than you. We ‘visited’ in 2003. Because the second gulf war had broken out, our ‘tour’ of this glorious castle was the bus driving in and the tour guide saying ‘ this is it folks’. Then off we went . I’d wanted ( and booked) to walk Culloden. Same thing ‘that’s it folks’. We didn’t even get out of the bus. Tour went from 26 days down to 14 days and they’d put two tours together. No complaints though, in a way, we had a wonderful tour with great tour guides . Director I think he called himself, don’t wish to insult him. Beautiful place, all beautiful. Were so lucky are t we to see these gorgeous places. So blessed we were. Hi from Australia 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺🇦🇺

I always enjoy your videos, Julie. I never fail to be delighted about the willingness of the various estate or house owners to speak and share their family history with an American woman. Good stuff!

On a recent trip to Scotland, this was absolutely my favorite fine home that I visited. My favorite part? The lush, beautiful gardens! Absolutely stunning! So nice to see even more of the beautiful home interiors.

That was awesome! I love the Queen Victoria connection. Another one of my favorite parts was when you went in the attic to see all the stuff stored up there. Wow! All the treasures. Thanks for another great show and all the information that we all learned from watching.

I was there! I brought my family tree, and I showed I was related to the Montegues. The ancient ancestry line of the Blairs. They knew nothing that the Montegues were direct ancestors. I felt at home there, actually. I love the canopy bed. I always, as a child, had a canopy bed.

Hi Julie, My name is Cynthia and I am a knitter. I gather by some of your vests that you are a knitter. Is this true? I love your shows. They are very entertaining and educational. Thank you so much!

1:05:28 The Duke, Bruce Murray, lives in Africa right now? Or he is visiting Africa as they are speaking, but lives elsewhere the rest of the time? So, then is he related to Bill Murray, the comedian and actor from Saturday Night Live?

What happened to the Ruggable advertisement with the Hilton sisters? It ran for about ten seconds and stopped. A Samsung advertisement took over their time.

So when exactly is "King" Charles going to apologize to the Scottish people for his ancestors actions in the months and years after Culloden?

@@lilith3953 when is your ancestor going to apologize to mine?

@lilith3953 6 ай бұрын

Considering what the house of Hanover did to Scotland in the months and years after Culloden, the British royal family should be too ashamed to go to anywhere near Scotland. Seeing "King" Charles and his sons in kilts makes me want to vomit.

And you rebuilt this Blair castle with the Social Security Widow's benefit money that Michael Webster (Blair) Hill stole from me. He stole from my orphaned children and myself, from 1997 to 2005, when I filed for divorce due to severe spousal abuse, child abuse, neglect, abandonment and severe cruelty from Mike Hill. My daughter Molly has scars all over her arms from trying repeatedly to commit suicide. This went on while you all watched from your satellite camera's. These are approximately the same years that police officer Graham, as he said, was a police officer. It's hard to feel excited about this after all the pain and suffering my orphaned children and myself suffered at the hands of the Blair Family. Mike was cheating on me and stealing my money the whole time, lying to us, abandoning us and tried repeatedly to kill me, both before and after we got married. It is a lovely castle, but it's hard for me to feel any love for the Royal family that is now in power. I have just as much claim to the British Throne as they do. Our family is directly descended from William the Conqueror. Mike stole money, he stole possessions, and he mercilessly tortured my children and myself.

As a divorcee who was cruelly, yet brilliantly & quietly gaslit out of my marriage and severed forever from my children & grandchildren, you have my empathy and prayers, Heidi. I, too, seem to have a lot of "noble" bloodline (49% Scottish, Dixon of Clan Keith, English Wyatts, etc.), but according to what I've read, not many nobles actually have what we were taught noble character should be. Rather, they seem often to have quite the opposite. It is through reckoning every word and theme of the whole Bible (in its original languages) to be true that I'm able to build a beautiful, yet simple, new life beyond all of the devastating betrayals. May you and your children find True relationship and the lovely silver linings in and through Abba Father / Yeshua to take the memories upon Himself to deal with justly in this life and in the next. Just remember that we will not be forgiven if we do not ask Him to help us find that place of forgiving others - that place of being willing to rejoice over them if ever they truly come to true repentance themselves. I pray you will not choose to allow bitter unforgiveness to eat you and your friendships alive, thereby winning the war over your soul and positive purposes otherwise meant for you during your time in this dimension. 🙏🙏🙏

Samuel, since the University of Washington Street fair in 1982, when you got into my coat and took out my marijuana pipe because you were trying to get me into trouble with the law, you have been terrorizing me with threats of jail or prison. You are going to have to pay for my incarceration. Tax money is used to maintain the prisons and jails. If you do send me to jail or prison, I am going to have a nice, long vacation at your expense.
