[@asifvirk953]

WOW KIM THAT THUMBNAIL PHOTO FOR THIS VIDEO I'M SERIOUS IT NEEDS TO BE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC. U KILLED IT SCOTLAND'S BEST FEMALE PHOTOGRAPHER AWARD OR EVEN THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND.📸📸📸📸📸📸

[@OhSoCheesy]

I'm always stunned by what you can do in Scotland. There's no way an American lawyer would allow people down a wet slippery mine. Great stuff. Thanks Kim!

[@kimgrantphotography]

I said when we were down there that I was surprised that we were allowed access to it. Fortunately it wasn't slippy but did require a bit of ducking down and squeezing through tight spaces. Very fortunate to be able to enjoy it 😊

interested to see the memorial to Tom Morris - he employed some of my Foulis ancestors before they all emigrated to U.S. to play and design golf courses there

[@paranormalfamilyscotland8340]

One of our favorite places in Scotland

[@kimgrantphotography]

It certainly is beautiful 😍

[@eileenlocke7877]

Thank u luv castles

[@giselesmith7795]

Since I am somewhat claustrophobic I will leave mine exploration to you and watch the video. Incredible views topside! Thank you for taking us along.

[@Loagun]

[@tjsinva]

Nice tour! Definitely a bucket list destination. Rock on!

[@FakeNews_Ignored]

Thank you for bringing these fascinating areas. Love your content. 👍👍👍🙏

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you. Glad you enjoy the videos 😊

[@neilduffy4940]

Superb video Kim 👍👍 another destination for a visit I think. Not sure about the mine part.. maybe a bit tall at 6ft 1in ..lol Elcho castle was very interesting, even got there before the guy that works there (wondered why a taxi was following us).... he let us in after he opened the castle and we paid on way out. A very informative guy, thinking of huntingtower castle,blackness castle and dirleton castle to end 2019 , weather dependent of course

[@kimgrantphotography]

Glad you enjoyed Elcho and wishing you much fun and enjoyment in your next castle adventures. They're certainly great fun to explore 😊

The underground mine and countermine are truly amazing. Well worth a visit! Many thanks for the video - cheers.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thanks Charles. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@jerrysmith7385]

Really good Kim, your choice of music was great, everything so old ! My country wasn't formed until 1776 and my state 1863 so all is pretty new.

Ah Kim the home of golf I would dream about playing golf there but alas I was pretty bad at it. Lovely video thanks for sharing.

[@kimgrantphotography]

Keep dreaming Clive! Dreams can come true 😊 and thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidearl2038]

Thanks for showing us St.Andrews Kim. That underground mine looks great, hoping to get to do this now in the spring. Watched a few of your videos now so thought it time to subscribe. Look forward to more great views. ATB. Dave.

[@johnscott3714]

[@GARY1951A]

WOW!! Kim this video was exceptional!! The picture of you at the end is incredible. -- As usual, GREAT job!!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you Gary - glad you enjoyed it :)

[@DonJoyce]

Very interesting explore, Kim! Had me wondering why there was a mine in a castle! Ahhh...it was a tunnel dug by besiegers in an attempt to collapse the tower! How cool. I'll keep that in mind for my next seige!

[@kimgrantphotography]

Yes - it's a very interesting story indeed. Good luck with your future siege 😂

[@MiataBRG]

Good video. It would have been good to hear what some of that stuff was, like what a counter mine is :)

[@kimgrantphotography]

Sorry should have explained that bit. The big mine was dug by outsiders during a seige and the countermine was dug by those living in the castle to meet the invaders in order to stop their seige. Its an interesting story but I don't feel it can truly be felt until you're there for yourself. 😊

[@DavidWheaterScotland]

Fabulous video Kim. Really enjoyed it. I had no idea about the mine under the castle. You did a great job of filming it. All the best, David

[@kimgrantphotography]

Thank you David 😊 Neither did I until we got there. Was a very fun surprise!

[@anselman3156]

Wonderful. I love St Andrews, and recommend it as a must for anyone visiting Scotland. I was not so intrepid as you, Kim, to actually go down into the mine, but maybe on a future visit! There are excellent opportunities for your photography should you return to St Andrews. The sea and beech are quite beautiful. I made a very short video on my pocket Nikon last year, which I've uploaded onto KZbin-not great quality, but capturing a dramatic moment. On a very stormy day, the winds were driving the sands horizontally sweeping them out to sea and pushing back the waves. Above the white of the repelled surf, there were fleeting rainbow colours, as the sun shone brightly on the spray. I titled the video "Canute Cannot", as it reminded me of the legendary story of King Canute, or Knut, demonstrating to his sycophants that he could not command the waves to go back. I saw the wind doing just that.

[@kimgrantphotography]

It certainly is a stunning place. I've yet to check out the beach myself but sounds like you had a stunning time with the camera when you were there. It definitely does have some good photography opportunities 😊

[@alexandermenzies9954]

Wouldn't the mighty St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney, be the oldest cathedral in Scotland? It was begun in 1137. What's more, it's very much intact (with an excellent Willis pipe organ in place). Any thoughts, Kim?

[@kimgrantphotography]

You're correct - I said oldest by mistake. Meant to say largest (I put some words over the video during that part to try and correct my mistake...sorry if you missed them/I didn't make it obvious). I hope to visit the one in Orkney next year. It looks stunning! 😊
