THRILLS and CHILLS in Huntly

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for showing us around Huntly. The castle looked amazing (and the shortbread)! We have added it to our to-do list 😀👍

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@LifeistooshortCK That must be a pretty big list by now if it's anything like ours 👍🤣

[@janetbowen7854]

The shortbread range sounds amazing, thanks for the lovely video ❤️🚐🐾😀 xxx

[@slimmingbedlington1200]

Huntly looks like a good place to visit, I laughed out loud at the two of you on the springy spinner. That was an excellent whisky haul, I am jealous. Safe travels. Sue

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@slimmingbedlington1200 thanks Sue, we called it the springy thingy and it was a good laugh, made us feel like we were bairns again 🤣👍💕🐾

What a grand day (s) out to be sure. You have solved a mystery for me, namely the name of a piece of music that's been in my head for ages . Soon as you introduced the castle I managed to Shazam the music and viola! I now know the name 'Sounds of Patriots', so thank you.

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@dafadowndilly8919 Glad that gave you a wee memory jog. Funny sometimes how something can just spark a memory 👍💕💕

[@bobbyedal2737]

That was a very funny moment watching the pair of you taking yourselfs back to your childhood antics. I think you both got into the position of being dammed if you stay on and dammed if you get off. Definitely a no win situation for the pair of you 😂😂. A great video as perusal 😃😄👍👍

@@bobbyedal2737 Thanks Bobby glad that gave you a laugh, it was like being kids again but one minute on that spring thing was enough 😄

Glad you enjoy the Aussie red with your dinner! LOL - we’ve found some great specials on Yellow Tail in Scotland - great surprise! Huntley castle was great - the decks & restorations, signs & the maintenance are fabulous! Liked your humour too! Thanks for sharing your touring around!

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@HermionefromAustralia001 Thanks, glad you enjoyed watching us. There are several different Yellow Tails but the jammy red roo one is by far our favourite 👌 👍💕🐾

[@bethlowell7336]

I enjoyed this video so much. You always speak about the history of the areas that you visit. Huntley castle was very intriguing. I liked your ‘spring turnabout’. I hope you still have some whisky left. Safe travels. Cheers

Hi Mike & Tricia, just got a bottle of “Jammy red” ….Delicious, thanks for the tip 😊 Keep up the great work on the videos .

Broccoli crisps sounds weird lol Blimey not had a wafer ice cream for ages - used to be very popular when o was a lad back in the black and white days of life 😂😂 Thanks for showing us around Huntley

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@getawaygeese the broccoli crisps have less calories than normal crisps, but the wine made up for it 👍💕🐾

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@rikkibeattie5174 Thanks, didn't know about that museum, drat and double drat, would have liked to have seen that.

SOOOOO interesting - going around Huntley Castle - I love history - particularly Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿and Huntley is a name one often comes across ( author Nigel Tranter !). As a matter of interest- if you don't mind me asking (?) what clan do you guys "belong" to ?? 🦋

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

@@didevilliers1238 Thanks, we live history too. Tricia was a Burns, like Rabbie, but I don't have a clan name, my ancestry is from Ireland and came to Scotland mid 19th century.

[@didevilliers1238]

@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot How interesting - my Gran was a Duthie, a sept of Clan Ross and my hubby is a Wallace on his Moms side - Grandad used to say the family WAS related to William, but family "name" was Hector, so probably a cousin or something. I am a great "Scoto-phobe" - love anything Scottish - even haggis 😂😂😂😂
