Dark Shadows of Hermitage Castle: The Haunted Guardhouse of Scotland's Bloodiest Glen

[@kathleenorr9237]

Living in the Scottish Borders have visited Hermitage many times. It has a brooding atmosphere for sure, it’s an intimidating structure and I always feel uneasy inside or up close it. Looking forward to hearing this one!

[@eerieedinburgh]

It is some place!

[@patsysmith540]

Thank you so much

[@tracycraft2971]

Absolutely beautiful video! The narrator is an absolute dream! Gorgeous all the way around! So love this channel!!

[@eerieedinburgh]

Aww, thank you! I had to rush this one a wee bit, glad you liked it 😊

[@CatCmdr]

Your impeccable use of visuals is brilliant. The gaping maw of the castle in a darkened sky really emphasizes its brutal past. You don’t just make videos, you make entire events drawing us in to the experience of those historic times. You certainly know how to weave a story into life. Bravo! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

I fully agree!

[@osakarose5612]

This was a fascinating look back into the past of the lands, clans and castles of Scotland. Very well done, EE. I will never get to see it in person but your narration solidly planted me there in my imagination. Kudos!

[@Taliesin-xd7ke]

Brilliant account of the darklord De Soulis' home. Nicely done.

[@eerieedinburgh]

Thank you 😊

[@GrumpyScotsman]

A superb mix of history and a touch of paranormal thrown in. Shame the average Scott would rather be ruled by England than be independent Wallace, and the other freedom fighter would be ashamed of Scotland today.

I also find it very strange, that they were so envious of their own countrymen. But, it is by far the most interesting history ever, in the whole world. The Scots never showed any respect to their kings, or queens.

As always you have me transfixed from beginning to end, thank you so much for these wonderful stories and for your ability to take us into another world. I just love Eerie Edinburgh .❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@roberthossen8354]

I watched the video and tale last night and was transported back to the time I visited Hermitage Castle. A visit I'm bound to never forget... Brooding, foreboding, dark, menacing. Never will I return and I've experienced my share of hauntings all over Scotland, never as menacing as here.... Bravo! You never ever disappoint!!

[@seagoingcook]

Brilliant! Can't wait for the next one.

[@eleanorbarrie3527]

Another interesting fusion of history and the supernatural, really enjoyable to listen to, as always. I've never been to Hermitage Castle but it deffo looks formidable and foreboding!😱 Many thanks for another great spooky instalment!

[@stuartgreen4512]

I sent you a story of my own experience at Seton Colligiate church- it was peaceful but unsettling. On that same trip when we stopped at Hermitage, I couldn’t help but feel a deep rooted feeling of unease. As if the very core of me was moved by something. I have visited many castles and ruins, but few have made me feel as sombre as Hermitage.

[@MichelleBruce-lo4oc]

Hi, awesome live ghost stories video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well my cat Benjamin is doing well also. All your ghost stories videos are always enjoyable. Have a great day. Have you ever done Carew Castle in Wales. I heard it's very haunted 👻 have a great weekend see you next video 😊

[@eerieedinburgh]

I haven't! Don't know that place, will need to read up on it. Glad to hear you guys are doing well.

[@CarolineWillows-fz7sp]

I live a couple of miles from Carew Castle. It’s on a tidal river in Pembrokeshire. It’s pretty spooky especially with the Halloween ghost tours.

[@tracycraft2971]

Would love to hear of this. My family is connected to that castle!

[@CarolineHenderson-oe2ts]

Hello Tracey Carew Castle is absolutely beautiful - would love to know your family connection to it ?

@@eerieedinburgh I'm sure that it would be an amazing location for a video. I had heard stories that people used to made to jump from one tower to the other, at Hermitage Castle. Obviously, no-one is said to have survived the jump.

We visited here many years ago early one morning as we were in the area , it was around 8am during the summer. The only thing we saw was grazing sheep. But i will admit it was very eerie with ground mist all around, I recommend to anyone who find themselves in the area in the early morning to visit Hermitage castle.

[@annebell7274]

Thank you so much. I have been to Hermitage Castle many a time. A family affair, picnics and hide and seek. I've learned so much more than what I knew. Roxburghe Castle, ruins on the outskirts of Kelso. Now we have Floors Castle, occupied by the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. Black Dougles was resident at Springwood Estate, outskirts of Kelso. There is a Mausoleum there. I wonder if they are connected in any way. Again, many thanks for the new knowledge I now have. 💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️

To live on the Borders must have been harsh. I imagine that those people had to be harder and more canny than those on either side. I enjoy your tales. Being half Scottish, it all resonates with me. I spent many summers at an estate called Black Mount. Thank you ❤.

The 2 suicides among the railway ghost stories which I sent you recently, the young woman at Pinmore on the Girvan - Stranraer line and the tragic story of Ian Watson, who died by falling from a bridge onto a train near Fraserburgh after deciding not to take his own life at the last minute, would make an excellent video?
