Explore Scotland | Getting Chased by Nessie and The Grant Clan

[@jimtaylor4103]

That was fun to watch. My Great Grandmother was a Grant, she descended from Peter Grant who was sent to Boston and sold as an indentured servant around 1650 after being captured at the Battle of Dunbar.

[@danyerdon8494]

I’m part of the Clan. A descendant. Still amazes me. Thanks Kim.

[@autumnlheureux4231]

Clan Grant of Canada here! 5th great gram Marguerite Grant, 6th great grandpa Cuthbert Grant Sr, founded grant town! It is an incredible clan! Online there’s great stuff..,many of the line were sheriffs of Inverness.

Hi I was born in New Zealand but my Dad James Grant was from the village of Douglas Lanark. I have been there once beautiful country and people and one day I will return. loved the video especially the ending. so much amazing History. I will watch more videos .

[@peytongrant]

[@joanneadahk124]

[@ronaldgrant5436]

[@missy3941]

Hiya I recently discovered I’m related to the lord(s) Grant of shewglie (shuglie) dating back to the 16th century meaning I’m originally part of clan grant👏🏼born and lived in northeast Scotland my entire life and loved coming across your video! Brilliantly done thankyou♥️

[@smoggiewalks578]

My Sunday morning breakfast treat after my night shift. Great new location. Ed's cameo role searching for stones a comedy classic. Looking forward to seeing the new Skye trip.

[@andreaorourke]

Really enjoyed this video, thank you for the tour. Stumbled across while bored during self-isolation. My family are born and raised New Zealand, my granny was a Grant so it really cool watching this like a virtual heritage walk. 😁😁.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you Andrea. Thank you for watching and glad that you enjoyed it.

[@highlandwolf1105]

Hi Kim, couple of things for me...firstly ...In these “lockdown days discovering your channel is a breath of fresh air ! Given we can’t go to these types of places, for now. It’s great just to feel we are a part of your “Adventures” shared with such enthusiasm 👌. Second .....your “Grant” lands in particular Rothiemurchus owned by the Grants....Hhmmmmm ? (Even back then “Government tax was a very useful Tool) Am guessing you know my surname now 🤣🤣....Keep up the great content & Your cheery passion for our lands....Stay safe 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kimgrantphotography]

Lovely to hear. So glad you've been enjoying the videos. I can't wait to get out exploring again when we're allowed to do so and make more like this

[@sander5086]

Haha poor Ed, luckily he has a Grant on this side to protect him from the monster!!!! Looking forward to Skye , was there in January!!!

[@Mr.Tittle]

great to see the home country..well done kim...also read grant (garunt)meant tall or huge..

[@TimberGeek]

LOL... Happy Birthday :) At some point I hope to dig up some information on my Scottish ancestry.

[@kimgrantphotography]

You sure do! Good luck with it.

[@TheHikeChoseMe]

LOL oh my gosh, that ending..with poor ed. 'wait for me!'

[@royjenkins-packer173]

What an ending..... 😊

[@bradzaruba9686]

I've heard you don't have to outrun the bear (Nessie), just the person you're with. Glad to see Ed made it out too. Nice to enjoy a little humor in this week's post!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Glad you enjoyed it Brad :)

[@MrsMinx50]

Just catching up Kim , I have Fort Augustus booked last year for my 60th had to be cancelled , but booked again for this year so hoping it takes place , love your tutorials thank you 👍

[@kimgrantphotography]

Fingers crossed you're able to go there this year. It's a lovely area

[@nickgrant2846]

Crazy to find you on youtube. Im a long lost relative over in America!

[@Noealz]

So beautiful ㅠㅠ Thanks for bringing nature to me Kim : )

[@Django45]

That ending was hilarious. Almost like the Blair Witch movie (hope I got the name right) :D

[@kimgrantphotography]

You certainly did haha!

[@charlesgardner4875]

Great Video love the view of the Loch from the top such a beautiful place. LMAO moment at the end of the video love this style of video at times! Warrior Kim is fast on her feet Skipper Ed trying to keep up.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Glad you enjoyed it Charles. Was just a bit of spur of the moment fun.

[@desgardner7169]

What a great history and acting lesson and not a camera in sight! well that made a change from the norm, I just cant wait to see a whisky distillery tour! and dont tell me you are teetotal, I have never been to that area and it was a pity it was a dull day, I just wonder how long and why that massive Redwood tree had been there, thanks for sharing.....I look forward to seeing your Skye trip and best of luck with your future workshops....

[@DonJoyce]

LMAO! Warrior Kim and Skipper Ed! Great team!

[@pauljenkins2501]

Thank you for another lovely video. Being a softy Sassenach, I am used to the idea of being part of a family, but not the idea of an actual clan. We sort of associate Scotland with the notion of clans, but I have never really thought of someone that I "know" (albeit via KZbin, not in the real world) actually being a part of the clan system..... And happy birthday for a couple of days time!

[@PatheticoMorbid]

Clan Grant 💪🏻👊🏻👍🏻

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

Thank you Kim for taking us up that hill. We have visited that area many times but have never seen that path. We usually park in the car park near the tourist info so I guess I should pop in there and ask about it next time we go. The views were great from up there. I loved Ed looking for stones :D By the way the end was so so so funny I loved it ;D however Kim you did not need to be frightened Nessie likes girls it's just boys she eats for supper ;D Loved it thank you for giving us a good laugh :D Teddy

[@kimgrantphotography]

I've been to the tourist info carpark several times too and only found this walk online a few weeks ago. I didn't know it existed either. It's on the walking Highlands website.

[@TeddyWandererCamera-Bear]

@@kimgrantphotography Thank you :D

[@kstrohmeier]

Nothing to fear. You are completely safe. You run faster than Ed!

[@kimgrantphotography]

HAHAHAHA!

[@iangrant1959]

Great video Kim, It was Ed i felt sorry for ... you abandoned him !

[@kimgrantphotography]

Haha was all done in jest ;)

[@debbierooker4930]

Great video Kim of you exploring new places & further learning of the Grant clan! 😊 I love how it said it was a 'trail' , more like a workout hike up! But ooh those views were just beautiful beautiful & beautiful! Lol Had to say it 3 times, just so impressed! Oh you made me laugh so much at the end, ' what's that noise?' & then Ed running saying, 'wait for me' 😋😂

[@TheHikeChoseMe]

i'm big nosed and proud. haha

[@jamesgrant8470]

Nice vlog made me laugh so much. So nice to see you've still got that sense of humour and looking happy... 😂 We must arrange to explore the east side when we're both free.....you'd love it. Kayaking at sunset is priceless... Xx

[@kimgrantphotography]

Definitely! That would be ace.

[@XxHMGrantxX]

Hi from Massachusetts! Neat video, I really want to visit there - A fellow clansman (with a big nose lol)

[@AndrewAliferis]

Very funny. Happy Birthday!

[@thefrontline1]

Grant from Los Angeles here!

[@mick8586]

[@Valentascream]

Great location thanx Kim get that camera out get some Nessie pics😁

[@kimgrantphotography]

[@bobswezey7452]

OK what were you two smoking Haha … we enjoyed this video very much thank you …

[@davidaylsworth8964]

Haha Nice wrap up!

[@joanneadahk124]

I heard Grant comes from the Good king of Norway who had to run his brother blood axe off. I like it better than the big nose idea ;-) hehe

[@kevinridley8883]

hahahahaha keep up Ed .

[@asifvirk953]

Happy birthday Kim and when you looking scared u look so cute ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

[@jessecarl4299]

I'm also Clan Grant..Pratt scept side.

[@tessm3420]

😂 that was entertaining great video!

[@ravenfallsphotography6254]

What is this…"The Loch Ness Monster Project"…? 😄 Anyway, fun video, and I hope you have/had a great birthday (since I have no idea of the gap between making and uploading this). And, however much of a Clan soldier you may feel like, you certainly aren’t going to invade MY Clan's territory, unless you plan on swimming to the Outer Hebrides! 😝

[@toddcrouch3910]

We are part of Clan Grant

[@robertvarner9079]

Years ago, I had a college professor named Neil G. Grant (he taught biology). I wonder if he is related to your clan. BTW your nose is very cute. Have a Happy Birthday!!

[@Floreypottery]

My wife’s a grant and I’m a Macleod descendant we live in the USA but we wanna come visit too see grant castle and my castles one day on isle of sky

[@michaelgrant2061]

Where’d you get that book?

[@anthonyhazlewood5788]

What are you like Kim? If you see Nessie, and photograph it, you'll be worth a fortune.... I'll be waiting for that Vlog.... Gotta laugh eh?...

[@kimgrantphotography]

Will see if I can fit that vlog into my schedule! Hehe

[@martinhogarth3862]

monsters !!! oh dear.... too much travel I think..

[@adamgrant4339]

What all did you find out about the history of Clan Grant?

[@sgurrtours]

If you're still on Skye on Wednesday 10th and you see a Timberbush minibus that's me driving it for a tour for my new job 😁😁👍👍 So many places around Lochness not many folk know about. Did you know about John Cobb who tried to break the water speed record in 1952 reaching 240mph before the jet boat hit a freak wave and took a nose dive killing him which happened right opposite Urquart castle. Fact of the day for you, you can see the video on KZbin. 😁 Did he hit a freak wave or was it Nessie?? 🤔

[@kimgrantphotography]

I left Skye on Monday the 1st but I hope you're first tour went well and wish you all the best with your new venture. Ooh no I didn't know about that attempted record break! thanks for the fact of the day. Sounds like you're going to make an ace tour guide :)

[@sgurrtours]

@@kimgrantphotography Thanks very much Kim, first tour went well, the weather was stunning so that helps, on a Lochness tour today so just stood here waiting for my passengers to finish off at Urquhart Castle just looking at Grant Tower right now 😁😁👍 another stunning day up here which helps. Have a good one. And look forward to the next installment 😁👍

[@hennatools9306]

Remember: You don't need to run faster than Nessie, you only need to run faster than Ed.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Very true!

[@lokatpic]

Being a photographer who has left his camera at home. I have seen things that I kick myself saying why did I leave that camera at home?

[@kimgrantphotography]

Happens to the best of us but I like exploring without my camera from time to time. Its what my explore Scotland series is all about :)

[@michaelgrant2061]

Hey! I’m a Grant.

[@thefrontline1]

Hey! Me too!

[@XxHMGrantxX]

@@thefrontline1 hey me too!

[@tonyjackman6699]
