Castle Douglas: A Scotland Town Tour

[@alanflint7732]

I love Castle Douglas. Me and my late wife used to holiday at a cottage near Dalry. We always enjoyed shopping at Castle Douglas. The shops are so good. Most high streets are closing down. Castle Douglas was thriving. Great butchers and cake shop. The kitchen shop is an Aladdin's cave. It's a great place.

I want to give you a big thank you. My son was having a very bad panic attack last night. He tried breathing exercises given for a previous attack but they didn't work. By 6am I was running out of things to talk about to try to get his mind on something else. He then decided to watch some of your videos. He found you so calming that his heart rate started to get back to normal. Eventually he went to bed about 8.15, still listening to you. THANK YOU 😘

[@obystarxs.o.1297]

i actually live in this town and it was nice to see that you came to CD. bit of a fun fact, the reason why CD has one huge main street - King Street - with Queen Street and Cotton Street off to either side is because old blueprints for the town showed a grid-like structure of buildings

[@Anxietywolfie]

OH HELLO?!

[@markburns8597]

My brother lives in Castle Douglas im now back home in Kinlochleven. I really enjoy these Danny and Mazzy they are great vids.

[@ncross1857]

I love these videos. When I watch them though, for some reason the TV show The Royale Family springs to mind.

[@adamrussell1997]

A crazy scotsman here, battered sweets will probably be deep fryed chocolate bars (Mars bars, snickers, cream eggs and jaffa cakes) that's the ones my local dose.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Yuck

[@rhysstatham7407]

That model train set had a petrol wagon with the name Pratts written on it which changed to become known as Esso.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

cool. must be old then.

[@rhysstatham7407]

@@TravelTrollsTV I think about 1934 or 1935 here in the UK that Pratt’s changed to Esso.

[@suzannewilson3365]

Oor Willie is another Scottish legend, great books we used to read them when I was young. My mother in law still gets either Oor Willie or the Broons at Christmas for my 31 year old son, you never tire of reading them, I’m from Newcastle and we’ve heard of them. Great video btw 😊👍

[@TravelTrollsTV]

We will have to get one when we see one in a charity shop again.

[@markgilmour6258]

Hi, as the artist that painted them, I can confirm it was Audrey Hepburn and lemmy from motorhead, and I'm my profile pic, that's David bowie. Thanks for showing our old shop that's not there anymore unfortunately, covid killed the town, that's why everywhere closed at 3pm

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Awww that's sad to hear. So pleased you saw this and commented though. 😊

[@resistantgeordie2636]

Kirkoobry!! Dalbeatties a nice little town, the people are lovely... i have a static caravan 2 miles away next to palnackie!! My peace n quiet place! Enjoy!👍😁

[@LeisureBit]

Great video, enjoyed, brought back fond memories as used to visit the area regularly - Oh and the Moores Fish and Chips in Castle Douglas - had them many times and always seem to be very tasty,. Haven’t been for a few years but were always very tasty. Thank you - David 👍

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

Two lovely Indian motorcycles parked up at about 20 mins. Audrey Hepburn then Lemmy from Motörhead in the hat.

It's a shame you weren't in Kirkcudbright until October..you could have see this Viking Hoard...THE GALLOWAY HOARD AT KIRKCUDBRIGHT GALLERIES 9th October 2021 @ 10:00 am - 10th July 2022 @ 5:00 pm

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Nevermind 😁

[@alasdairvincent6248]

What an interesting video. I know Castle Douglas well. I used to have family in the area. I’ve walked these very streets many a time. There is a Cooperative and a Wilkins store down one of the side streets, plus a Tesco at the top end of the town. You were on King Street where most of the shops are. The Broons and Oor Wullie are well known Scottish cartoon characters The jerky bag is a type of strainer used for jam and jelly . My Mum had one. I’ve not bee m back to Castle Douglas since before the Covid pandemic started. It’s a nice town.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

We did pop to Asda a few times.

[@neenagalante1211]

Sorry I missed the live! Have to watch later no doubt! Liked and shared! Love you two!🙂😘

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Love you too 😁

[@swift-getaway]

The Broons book used to come out just before Christmas every 2nd year. One year it’d be the Broons and the following year it was Oor Wullie. I used to get them for my Christmas growing up, but harder to get now I live in England but I do still get them from time to time.

[@suethomson6013]

Hi folks. So exciting to see you in that beautiful part of the UK. Love the coastal villages up there. I spent ten days in Dalbeattie with my cousins a few years back. Hope you do go . Dumfries interesting too. Thank you from an envious Kiwi

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Dalbeattie is the next video l think.

[@bobajob1524]

Dan and Mazzy. Great video of the town. I think you was right to walk away from the first takeaway, as the pictures are probably the best they can make and what you actually get, will be a lot worse……. In the bike shop window is a indoor cycling setup. A turbo trainer on the back to change resistance when you ride, to imitate hills etc and a Wahoo Climb on the front to adjust the bike angle when cycling; raises and lowers the front forks. When used with a computer to control them and large tv, it’s an immersive experience. Very expensive, but as close to riding outdoor as you can currently get. It’s for road cyclists to train indoors over the winter months. The Quadlock is a great system. You get cases for most popular phones and cameras , they are simple to use, but they are a premium product. You can buy car mounts to use the special case in the car or motorhome etc. Halfords/Amazon/Decathlon will sell a waterproof(ish) case with a clear plastic cover on top, so you can see the phone screen for 1/4 of the price. The same shops also sell baskets for the front and panniers for the rear.

[@adamm2693]

Actually the church from the start is now a performance venue (the Fullarton), used to be Presbyterian and not RC. Hazel's antiques has a lot of good stuff, we were able to buy a little bell from there! If yous are looking for a place to eat Moore's chippy is most excellent! They've even got a wall of sweets & chocolate that you can get deep fried in batter!! Yous should check out St Ninian's Church next time, it's just up from the caravan park and is really atmospheric, it also has a rare stained glass window of the Devil!

[@adamm2693]

Oh typed too soon, yous did go to Moore's!! 😅

[@Dave64track]

Loving the video good to see you back in Scotland checking out the Towns and historical sites. Nothing like having a look around those antique type shops seeing what people use to use back in the day in Scotland. The fish and chips looked good with the curry sauce.

[@TravelTrollsTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@KevinWoodsWorkshop]

It’s great seeing towns that I’ve never been to. You’re both looking well and thanks for sharing this video.

[@markburns8597]

Dan the kodascope in the case was a vintage projector that run cinefilm on it. Depending on model they can be worth a few quid so if your in area id check model price hes selling and maybe reselling it may give you more fuel for your adventures.

[@wanderingwakefords6850]

I love those antique shops. Once I get in one its a job to get me out of there lol. I used to get a copy of the Broons one year and Oor Wullie the next for Christmas

[@TravelTrollsTV]

We could live in them lol

[@stephaniebattersby4556]

a pop up shop is a shop that is only going to be there for a short time

Tell them I sent you, you might get a discount😂 👌💖

The broons & oor wullie have been in the Sunday post since 1936 , the annuals have been published every year since ,alternating from oor wullie to the broons the next year . You where right about the jeely bag , it's for making jam.. the picture you didn't know was lemmy from motorhead . The battered sweets will be deep fried Mars bars & the likes, I am Scottish & have never tried these.🤮

[@TravelTrollsTV]

You should try everything once...unless its got vegetables in it :-)

[@peterrodgers3695]

careful with your rucksack when in those tightpacked antique shops that cost me £75 once lol

[@mizofan]

Bob Mortimer and the gulf stream brought me here. And ironically, masks are now expected, not considered so scary by the locals that the cops will nab the wearers. But where are the tropical gardens and the effects of the gulf stream? Anyway, thanks for the video and hope you had a good time. You seem a cheerful couple.
