WE FOUND AN ABANDONED CULT TOWN HIDDEN IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS

[@lorassorkin]

I believe it was Danish rather than German occupants. The book on the desk, Der Danske Salme Bog is a hymnal of the Church of Denmark.

[@annette1154]

For sure it was Danish

[@matanjaburger2872]

Yes ore danisch

[@direne1900]

saw an old aebleskiver pan

[@N.F.M.N]

I’m from Denmark and the postcard is written in danish, actually it’s a dinner invitation, and the container beside these wine bottle is also from Denmark

[@erindaly]

I came here to say it’s Danish ❤

[@jxyg59]

I have been here and spoken with the groundskeeper, it was nothing to do with a cult, the buildings were illegally built and the people were moved on. They were strange, yes, but it was nothing to do with a cult of any sort, I used to live near this.

[@Polar-xj1tv]

Thanks, nice to now.

[@jxyg59]

@@Polar-xj1tv no worries, if it helps its near Huntly, nowhere near the Highlands.

[@scottinglis1118]

I'm convinced this was a Danish Closed Brethren community, just outside Huntly Aberdeenshire, in the 80s their was still some Brethren groups along the coast near by in Buckie etc the Closed Brethren would have their own church and beliefs, in the photo of the men all sat down some of them have a white tag hanging from their coats beside their handkerchief, this is seen in other photos of Danish Closed Brethren, I could be wrong but it certainly seems like it

[@belleooo]

Used to live up there, looks like that area.

[@lissyadams6497]

That's what I thought, they didn't do the least bit of research for the edit, so guess it's all about them. I'd have had to at least find out the bare minimum about both communities who lived here.

[@Hesfr]

This was a Danish family. I could read everything on the postcard and spices in the kitchen cabinets. - hello, from Denmark 👍🏼

[@pauldomino]

Those picture look like they are from 'back-home', as in the letter, or Denmark, would you agree?

[@Allegory_of_Wolves]

I'm German, and the writing you found on things in that house wasn't German. It might have been Dutch or Danish. There are some similarities in these languages. I think Danish, because there was a Danish (Dansk) book in that "office" looking building, and the names of the guys on the photo were also more Scandinavian instead of German. Interesting place, though! I'd like to know what kind of community that was. Nice explore! 😊👍

[@ingridsywak8572]

No dutch either.

[@sme_sage1241]

Danish

[@Polar-xj1tv]

Danish or norwegian. Some of that was norwegian for sure.

[@Anton_16]

Definely danish! This is a really strange location

[@stefangellrich6108]

During WW2 a lot of Norwegians fled their homeland after the German invasion and ended up in Scotland, Aberdeenshire and Moray welcomed many. The coastal town of Buckie was even nicknamed little Norway.

[@SallieEastell-cx9hl]

Another cool vid , the plants were giant hogweed which when touched can cause blistering and itching. Thanks guys . ❤ X

[@EffortlessLH]

This place is adorable! A little mysterious and a bit creepy but very cool at the same time! I can imagine how bleak this place is in the winter. I do remember the Customs house that you guys went to as well! Thank you for another extremely interesting explore!!! Xx

[@edcornwall8700]

Dear Sam and Jess, These ''trunks'' at timebar 13:44 are the flowers from hogweed ( Heracleum) Again a wonderful video from you guys, respect!

[@MilluMArt]

This is all Danish. From the hymn books to the letters, documents and wall hangings. It's even decorated like classic homes in the 70's and 80's

[@Isabellaacapella]

GIANT HOGWEED! I hope you managed to avoid contact with it! Another fab video, need to know more, thank you xx

[@yvehooson9262]

I was thinking that too, really caustic if it brushes your skin

[@MrBobchat]

Don't tell them that, they'll try and smoke it

[@juliegambrall5078]

@@MrBobchat Very rude! I believe you should smoke something and chill out. I hate people that have nothing better to do than sit and bitch about whatever someone else did. If you aren't okay with their exploring adventures then why bother watching their channel?

Really, great explore Sam and Jess. You both went beyond your comfort zone and delivered exciting,nail biting adventure ❤ Well done!!

[@tinaprentice2136]

Incredible find and explore Sam and Jess always love watching your abandoned videos, you guys find the most unique places ❤️

This is not german, these people where from denmark.

[@MrSteve_Luddite.]

The plants are Giant Hogweed. Very poisonous.

[@silviaforth4304]

That language is not German but Danish

[@victoriadodson6745]

Cool place!! So much history we have yet to discover. Thanks for chancing the explore. Worth it!!!

[@jacquelyngudzinas2795]

I actually jumped and had to rewind at the very end when you looked into the window of the locked cottage. There was a reflection on the window glass (Jess, I think) and for a quick second, it looked like someone was sitting in the cottage.

[@ShitMental]

I came her to see if anyone else noticed this.

[@winkyridg]

We've just seen this, we dont think it was Jess

[@cinderhella3909]

Great find. Thx for taking me along. Enjoyed greatly.

[@verminous6968]

Guys, the large 'trees' in the front garden were Japanese knotweed as far as I can tell!! Great job dudes. Beautiful place and another truly wonderful explore. Xx 😊

[@pinheadhooligan]

I was thinking about a hogweed plant

[@iambecauseweareonelove8211]

it was not knotweed,its giant hemlock.

[@malcolmsmith2891]

Yeah looks like giant hogweed

[@Ds43211]

Giant hog weed, I’ve been unfortunate to have come in contact with this plant, not the best experience. It’s been poisoned to contain the spread.

[@SuperRobbo91]

It is 100% giant hemlock/hogweed and its a bloody good job you didnt touch it

[@mysticalmisty9772]

This is a fabulous find I would love to explore it myself, but unfortunately I can’t through illness so Thank You for taking us around here 😊

[@chrisblack8390]

You accomplished your mission! Haha. An what a scary mission it was! Loved the history in that place. Couldn't believe how thick the walls were where Sam climbed through the window. Thanks

[@pixie_sparkle74]

It is they just should have done research before going .... it took me 5 min on Google for real

[@ravennightflight9038]

The plaque that reads "bud vellign vort hiem" above the old fireplace is Danish, roughly translates into Lord Bless This Home ... and the book in the church, Den Danske Salmebog, is a book of hyms of the Church of Denmark 😮 fascinating!

[@MLGadget]

That's a “G”, not a “b”: “Gud vellign vort hiem.”

[@davidearl2038]

Enjoyed that little adventure. A bit like `Through the Keyhole` tv programe with all the misleading languages. A sign on the Wall said `God Bless This Home` in Danish, the cups with the spices are also in Danish, The old map looks to be in Welsh, a place near Llandrillo and other bits and pieces in English. So perhaps a Danish man married a Welsh woman and they moved to Scotland? Don`t think there`s any occult goings on though, just a little highland farming community that liked tgo keep to itself. You should have just asked at one of the other farms that are occupied, someone up there would know, I find the folk in the highlands quite friendly. Anyhow, great video Sam & Jess.

[@sassysue6472]

Absolutely one of the best explores I’ve seen! That is so cool-the history of the place should be preserved. Great find!

[@sarahstrong7174]

It would be interesting to find out what this place or the group were called & find out the history of this community.

[@paullaird1623]

Waw there is hope out there. People need to educate them self's before opening there mouths. Estates all over Scotland

[@Batsinthebelltower]

Your channel rocks guys , exploring places and empty buildings is such a vibe , nice old piano music on your videos too great atmosphere

[@morgannlefay13]

Such a cool and beautiful place. Going back to places more then once or twice is always a good thing.. Abandoned places can change quickly and no doubt you'll see and find things you didn't see before. Going at night sounds interesting and if I didn't have health/mobility issues I'd gladly go with you but will agree does sound creepy too.. Thanks for shareing.

Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 New to this site .

[@roberthomiak5003]

28:65 the ceiling in that cottage is so well built. Germans in Scotland wow, we have many German nationalities here in Kentucky, USA. they are Amish folk. Very nice people. Their young children just speak German then after age 5 they are taught English, as far as we know. It could be different in many areas. Great adventure. My grandparents were from Scotland. Such beautiful countryside. Thank you for your explores. Patty😊

[@ane-louisestampe7939]

Sorry, for a 3rd. comment, but now I've got it... 24:39 the letter is definately in Danish or perhaps Norwegian, can't read it propperly.) It's for Mayor Toft, I can't get the first name, but more interesting is the picture of the Danish priest Morten Larsen (1851-1936) In his early years he was quite influenced by Kiekegaard. When living in Paris he had a faith crisis, and he settled in "Grundtviganism". You can hardly call Grundvigianism a cult or a sect. It was a movement and is still a huge fraction in the Danish State Church, if not the biggest. My mother was raised strictly Lutheran, and they called the Grundtvigians "The Happy Christians" - and that was NOT a compliment. The Grundtvigians were in stark contrast to the orthodox Lutherans as they insisted on enjoying God's gifts! They like a good party 😂 Grundtvig (1783-1872) has influenced Danish culture enourmously. He was one of the dudes behind our constituion, and he has influenced paedagogics and didectics - he still does. There's a tiny pice of Grundtvig in every Dane 😉
