Ps this is my local landscape 🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4W6d2Spi6p_ic0. Slightly different to yours! I’ve also done some castles locally too. Have a great day 👍🏻

Awesome video my friend, I have pressed the big red button and I am also your 100th supporter.

[@theblissfullone]

That was wonderful! You do a great job of timing and image ... very nice choice of music, too.

First thing I think of is the difficulty level in constructing such an edifice. Location AND accessibility plus defense. I love trying to figure what each room/ building was purposed for. It seems to have had several gatehouses even before the (draw)bridge. Walls of varying height. That open chamber right on the seaside cliff. Maybe unfinished. Such poignancy wondering how/ when it got abandoned. Intriguing.

[@SuperiorByFar]

The open chamber at the end of the cliff was where the kitchen used to be. It fell into the sea in a horrifying landslide during a raging storm; killing a few cooks and servants, too.

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Nice job, Shaun.

[@cuteyazi]

I was wondering if you required any special permissions before flying your drone and recording this footage ?

[@banjodeano2202]

amazing, thanks for the share

[@lorraine6445]

I live right by Dunluce castle!😁

[@cindyquillen4342]

Hannah Banana I'm from the McQuillan Clan is there any of my lineage still alive over there

[@SuperiorByFar]

@@cindyquillen4342 You bet they are, along the north coast, since it's a Ulster-Scot name/clan. You'll also find many more in Scotland, too. I believe they may even be Highlanders.

[@sierrajade63]

Evidently the people back then never thought about erosion. And is that a cave under the castle?

Ulster was a quare different place when that castle was last lived in, no housing estates, miserable retail parks and warehouses plotting the landscape in those days.

[@kettenschlosd]

i was on holiday in ireland this summer (or whatever you call that season). I tell you, your country is has way more nature than austria, where i come from. This is mainly because it seems that your farmers are living in the cities and just go out to their cattle, while austrian farmers just plant a gaint farmhouse into the middle of their fields. There are so few places where you can see no trace of humans in austria, but many in ireland. I hope you cherrish that.

The north coast must have been an amazing place to live in the past. Littered with ancient ruins of tartary.

[@faerieSAALE]

Impressive imagery and footage. Would have been a miserable place to live back then. Especially in the winter.

[@SuperiorByFar]

It was far from miserable and bleak, it was quite an opulent castle; with a large town attached; and fertile valleys and lands in the hills inland; not to mention the rich sea full of food, resources, trade links.

[@faerieSAALE]

@@SuperiorByFar OK? All castles were opulent ( for the times ) and most of them were seasonal residences for the royal families who also had retreats in warmer areas during the harsh winter months. Those that did not move had to burn wood, coal, dung, to stay warm and to cook meals as well as wear layers of cold weather clothing. The inner wood buildings of a castle were the residences for the royal family and they kept them warm with fireplaces, oil lamps, candles as well as tapestries, rugs, furs, and goose down and wool clothing. Castles were not cost effective - but they gave the Royal Families a safe place to live unless they were attacked and looted by enemy forces.

[@SuperiorByFar]

@@faerieSAALE Oh I agree with you there, but this castle was stated to have been quite cosy, well maintained, used all year round, a proper home within a fortress. The only snag came when their kitchen crumbled and fell into the sea one stormy night...along with half the servants and cooks. They were living the dream right on the edge.

[@SuperiorByFar]

@@faerieSAALE Oh, and before I forget, they were also one of the first places in Ireland to have actual glass windows, too. This added to the comfort levels within. Less wind, less drafty, and better heat retention. Almost a modern house, by its standards.
