Good evening! And welcome to another video from Scotland on a wonderful winter's morn! Today, we'll be going for a walk around the historic town of Dunblane, famous for its gorgeous cathedral, stunning riverside views and 1,300 years of riveting history - I really hope you enjoy it :) But while the modern settlement of Dunblane is said to date back to 'Dulblaan' over 1,300 years ago, there is some local history from even before then. Roughly 600 years before its founding, Dunblane was the site of three Roman military camps and a small fort, built as their armies marched north deeper into Caledonia. Ultimately, however, the Romans struggled to maintain a position in Caledonia, and retreated south, leaving Dunblane to the Celtic natives!

II visited Dunblane in May 2023 for 10 days. We stayed in a beautiful cottage on Sinclair Street. It was fantastic weather and we only met the sweetest, nicest, friendliest and best people there. It was a wonderful time in this lovely little town, which we enjoyed very much. A piece of our soul remains in Scotland and we would love to come back to Dunblane. Thank you very much for this nice walk in the fresh morning, which we took almost every day. Greetings from Germany

[@kensearle4451]

Those of us old enough to remember will immediately associate Dunblane with something far more tragic... 😥 Thank you for showing us the town as it deserves to be known.

[@dawnyWestScotland]

Yes so very sad I remember!

[@LetsWalkUK]

Indeed - sadly Dunblane is often overshadowed by that awful event, but I'm so glad you found this an eye-opening look into what is a beautiful, historic town that so often flies under the radar! Thank you so much for watching :)

Dunblane: Never Forget

[@ACatherineDuthie]

We are in the process of purchasing one of the homes you walked by here and we're moving in a few months. I'm so happy to have this walking tour to send my family back in the states! Thank you!

[@dawnyWestScotland]

Allan Water is so very beautiful as is Dunblane itself

[@LetsWalkUK]

It really is! A river that flows with almost a trickle - but those views from atop the bridge really are gorgeous :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@camelia9802]

Very interesting indeed. Thanks for uploading.

[@whiskeycook3323]

Outstanding and very enjoyable and informative video. Watching from Wisconsin. I can never get enough of Scotland

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Dunblane is a town with such spectacular history and gorgeous scenery, a metaphor for Scotland as a whole :)

[@AndrewWilsonStooshie]

You have literally just shown me my childhood. I grew up as a kid in the house above the cathedral hall and then in Bridgend and our family rented an office in the building next to St. Blanes and then later above the old post office near the station.

[@evelyngallacher6315]

Excellent tour. Thank you.

[@billathighwoods4289]

Fantastic for a former early 1950s QVS boy to see again, having been virtually raised to junior manhood on the edge of town.

[@LetsWalkUK]

I'm so glad to hear it! I hope this video brought back some nice memories of those days, Dunblane is certainly a gorgeous part of Scotland to have spent so much time :) Thank you very much for watching!

[@billathighwoods4289]

@Stanly Stud Stanley, in my day QVS was “boy Service” for the sons of Scottish soldiers sailors and airmen. For example we had the RSM, company sergeant majors, the teachers were royal Army education corps, the commandant was from a Scottish regiment and so on. On leaving school Most served in the services, for example I served in the Scots Guards

[@billathighwoods4289]

@Stanly Stud Stanley my father was also Scots Guards until retirement, he was from Dundee area. Whenever I’m asked here in Canada where I’m from, I claim Dunblane. I really don’t have other roots, too many barracks and overseas postings, although Canadian roots since 1967

[@lauraalleguen6685]

Yes. Beautiful place...The other side of Dunblane... Great video 👍 as always.. your videos/filming is so so clear... crystal clear in fact... it's like we are there walking beside you... Good job 👍✅..

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Dunblane certainly is a beautiful place, and I'm glad you liked the filming too, there are some gorgeous sights to take in in this town :)

[@michellebruce5092]

Awesome live walk I enjoyed it. Can't wait to see more tomorrow. Happy new year tonight to you and your family. 😀🍸🎊🧨🎆🥳🎈🎉🥂🎇😀

[@2H80vids]

I've been to Dunblane and it is beautiful.

[@4KWalkinJapan]

Great video. I'm your fan.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Dunblane certainly is a wonderful town :)

[@neilmckechnie6638]

The Dunblainers will spot that this walk was filmed on a Wednesday morning due to the dulcet tones of the fresh fish van man on his deliveries, tooting his horn to alert his patrons of his arrival.

[@LetsWalkUK]

You're right on the money with that one! And thanks for pointing it out - I wasn't sure what the tooting was all about, it sounds like a nice local tradition :) Thank you so much for watching!

Dunblane: Never Forget

[@jajasatorashi136]

I only heard of dunblane because of tennis superstar Andy Murray. 😂

[@margaretclark250]

Where are all the people?

[@LetsWalkUK]

Hi there! This video was filmed nice and early on a November morning, before most of the shops had opened! I rather liked the morning atmosphere on this walk, it was so relaxing :) Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed the video!

[@malcnixon8256]

Great video pictures although a shame it misses the essence of Duni...

[@ronaldpeddie4272]

I have never heard of Sir Robert Burns- could never be - that's a mistake- but a great walk

[@fefacerlacer9281]

Beautiful little place but awful people.

[@wir154]

Dunblane now has almost 10,000 people living there, so I do not think you can just tar that many people with the same brush. Also I worked as a postie there for 28 years and there was a massive turnover of people in the town, with most of the houses on my delivery often not being occupied by the folk that had been there just a few years previously. In fact, around 90% of the people I know in Dunblane, plus the ones I delivered mail to, were/are not from Dunblane originally. Most native Dunblaners I know, now live elsewhere. I am not saying that the incomers are any better or worse than those who were born and brought up there however. It has gone though, from somewhere that was apparently 200 years ago, largely a fairly impoverished place, to being largely an expensive commuter town, though there are still small pockets of poverty and deprivation. The population of the town though has more or less trebled, since I was born in the 1960's.

[@fefacerlacer9281]

@@wir154 yeah it was the locals who had been born there who were awful

[@blueqeloxxx]

If that's one of your favourite views, you should get out more. Burns?? Prefer Pam Ayres.
