OK, so i thought I'd give this a watch and within 10 words you have facts wrong. It wasn't Queen Victoria that purchased Balmoral Castle, it was in fact Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband that bought it. He bought it, based on how he and Queen Victoria felt during a visit to Scotland.

I so appreciate the fact that you don't clickbait your videos. You make a statement or ask a question, answer it, and then expound on it and give us additional relevant information. I'm so tired of videos and articles that make you watch/read the whole thing and then give a 5 second/half a sentence actual answer at the very end after making you go through a bunch of barely related nonsense. More people need your integrity when they create content!

[@maruminc]

Don’t worry, clickbaiting is (sadly) frequently used on their other channel, Mapperton Live.

Without the past...there's no present. Thank you ...countess 🙏

Vicountess...she will not become a Countess until her husband becomes an Earl.

The Queen Mary is fun. It’s going through a mini renaissance in Long Beach.

[@Robin-g7q5d]

I have a Scottish background and was so interested in this visit. I became weepy when you were shown the original Colors. Thank you for helping those of us who can’t travel be able to see these interesting places! ❤️❤️

[@ladyalexander1897]

Why can’t YOU travel? 🧳 I’m sorry to pry, I really want to know why? 😢

[@goldenineke]

I really enjoyed this episode. Scotland is so beautiful. I remember watching our late Majesty’s journey from Balmoral through the beautiful countryside on her last sad journey to her final resting place. I hope I can visit one day. Thank you Julia.

[@janinepeckham9925]

This video really makes me miss my visit to the Highlands just a couple of years ago around the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The Highlands were the best part of the trip. Loved every minute of being in such a beautiful place.

[@autumnfall8829]

I could listen to that distinguished gentleman all day

[@ahlivetuhsidamaro150]

I’m from Glen Ellyn and you’re six years younger than me. Having read your bio online, you’re such an inspiration and a TRUE example of an American woman’s strength through hard times. Stay strong woman! ‘Hugs!’

[@MichelleJonesKralka]

The discussion with the piper in this video was such a treat. He is so passionate about piping and the history of his piping band.

[@tonitemperance9960]

Dearest Julie, how fabulous was this!? I'm an Italian/American who always felt that in a previous life I was Scottish, and now I see why I have this connection. Beautiful country and beautiful people. Thank you for all you do to bring an Anglophile like me, back to my roots! ❤

[@AmynAL]

I so loved this Scottish journey. A wild and beautiful land.

[@IamSquirrel]

This was educational and enjoyable. I have 1 set of 6th great grandparents from the Highlands. They settled into New Amsterdam; now New York. The history from these individuals blew my mind. I can’t help but wonder if this is where I inherited my love of long walks in the rain and wind. I really love your work. Thanks American Viscountess! ❤

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

What an incredible history this castle has. Such beautiful scenery as well. Thanks for taking us along ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rogerfielding1117]

Not much history really, only dates from 1856

[@daphneoakes8389]

I loved hearing the history of Scotland per this gentleman!

[@This_Intentional_Life]

My ancestors are Murrays from Scotland. My ❤ skipped a beat when he spoke about the Murray Plaid.

[@PatsySegars]

My ancestors also. Distant kin to Duke of Atholl.

[@jordanacosta2936]

Wow! Highlands really is incomparable. Beautiful place.

[@deborahjordan9688]

Oh my the history is fascinating and the knowledge of this man was incredible such gorgeous country and proud kind people. Would love to visit this country someday ❤

[@normajean2855]

Thankyou for sharing this.... I was so happy to see the Kings mummy, our dearly departed Queen as well at the end...I miss her so much...

[@larrywakeman4371]

Stunning presentation Julie and I LOVE your tam! I wear them here in rural NY state! Kimberly

[@lieuwina]

Thank you, Viscountess for sharing this wonderful trip to Balmoral Castle and sharing the history with the people inside the castle as well as learning all about the Athol Highlanders from RSM Graham Jack.

[@catherine1057]

What a treat that was , thank you Julie & hi from San Diego ☀️🌴

[@michellefmaier5161]

It’s difficult to admit but the only Scottish history I have learned is from the show Outlander. It has however made me a great fan of their history. This was very interesting. Thank you

[@BimRen246]

This was a beautiful and informative tour of Blair Castle.

[@lauragraysmusic8661]

Hello from Garland, Texas! I really enjoy your videos.

[@JustBeingAwesome]

Your videos are so well produced! I hope you have a "classic media" deal too :-)

[@snoopybluejeans]

Sir Rod Stewart did a New Years eve show at Blair castle a few years back. It's the best New Years eve of Auld Lang Syne I've seen perform. The bagpipes going out brings me to tears every time. It's become my staple, NY eve tradition. Check it out folks, it's the best. PS, my husband was a piper.

[@lee-annbryce97]

Hi Julie, I’m Australian and I so love your videos, you are so natural, respectful and have a wonderful sense of people, thank you for making videos that are down to earth as we say in Australia. Just enjoy so much. Thank you.🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️

[@AmericanViscountess]

Thank you so much!

[@Jean-sv6kk]

The history...I pray that it always passed along. Thanks. Be safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏🩷🩷🩷 I play June's Journey. Love it!!!

[@wendiunrein8802]

[@ckimlemieux8409]

Thank-you for doing this. I am sitting at my desk in my living room in North Carolina watching your videos. And this one nearly brings me to tears it has so much amazing, just amazing details of history. And you're their in your enthusiastic energy flowing and I just love it!!!! Hail Viscountess Hinchingbrook!!! And thank-you heartily from my overflowing heart here in the heart of the Carolinas!

[@Winton46]

As a history buff and Queen Victoria fan loved this blog what an amazing story huge thanks for sharing 😊

[@tammiel3812]

I so love this history that you bring to us through your own travels and unwrapping at your own castle! Thank you so much for your tmw and dedication. Much love from The Northwoods of WI. 🇺🇸

[@marytanne4964]

Thank you Julie for a very interesting episode. Loved the history of Queen Victoria coming to the castle with Prince Albert and all her servants! Such a beautiful place to visit and live!

[@myrnaedmisten599]

Just incredible! I’ve always loved Juniper and now it means even more. ❤

[@jenniferthomson9442]

I LOVE the opening sequence!!!

[@a.urbanchuk513]

One of the best I have seen of late. 🌺

[@louisebrislane6607]

As a descendant of the McDonald Clan, I hope that one day you can visit a castle in the western Isles of Scotland. My branch actually came from the Isle of Mull & settled in NSW, Australia when they were all starving in the mid 1800s & being shunted off to either America or Australia. My Northern Irish family also came out around that time as well due to the potato famine, eventually they were to meet up two generations later & become my grandparents on my father's side of my family.

[@tracywallin9894]

From Georgia, USA, we love the Viscountess!!!! Thanks for your wonderful docs! PLEASE keep up the fantastic work! ❤️👑⚜️ 👍

[@mamanonagan]

This was a very interesting visit and video. Thank you so much for sharing about Blair Castle, Queen Victoria’s visit and for the wonderful historical information shared throughout, and especially by Graham. Loved it!

[@vickiweaver]

The character in June's Journey remind me of Essie Davis in the Miss Fisher murder mysteries I really like that series

[@jonnycat6a517]

I love history! I love your videos! An absolute joy!

[@susenjarvis8281]

Absolutely beautiful video. I am so impressed. ❤❤❤❤

[@brittanyhalstead6034]

This is my favorite video! Loved every minute of it!

[@sallysampson628]

Truly this was so informative, interesting and very special to see and also to learn a lot more than I knew about Scottish history and in relation to Queen Victoria. Thank you so much Julie, once again for presenting such a super video! 🥰🙅‍♀️

[@AmericanViscountess]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@klezmersue]

Thank you for this lovely video!

[@dianavanderclute4322]

LOVED the history and kilt/uniform descriptions.

[@roberthepburn-gr4fq]

Nice Vette and how lucky you married every kids hero the Earl of Sandwich sooo cool

[@ladyalexander1897]

Thank you 🙏🏽 your videos take us there! I never visited Scotland but I have visited England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and did the tourist thing…. Love ❤️ Britain 🇬🇧 hopefully 🙏🏽 I will visit Scotland soon!!! Blessings !! From Southern California

[@dianavanderclute4322]

Well done Julie. Just wonderful! Now you need an archival building/room! Lol

[@longwaytotipperary]

What gorgeous scenery! Also bringing history to life in a very entertaining fashion!

[@roselee4445]

Dear Viccountess. Thank you for sharing your historical investigation and research. Having a great gran from Scotland and traveled there i appreciate this beautiful view of Balmoral and Area. Would that a certain American had followed in your footsteps and appreciated the beauty in true castles and English Scots treasures. No response to that statement needed.

[@maryellencook9528]

Very interesting. Our former Assistant Rector at St. Peter's Episcopal Church here in Kerrville, TX, is Fr. Tom Murray of the Murray's of Atholl. That was on his clan proclamation for our Burns Night program this year.

[@geowidman]

Sadly, not a word about Ardverikie House, the 19th-century Scottish baronial house in Kinloch Laggan, Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, Scottish Highlands. The lands historically belonged to Clan Macpherson, which offered the place to Queen Victoria before she chose Balmoral.

[@ConnieAnderson-j9c]

Beautiful! Love the magnifiscence and history...so great.

[@sheridavis261]

This was an absolutely fascinating episode. Thank you!

[@marie-clauderoy9464]

Loved it! Thank you Julie!

[@wearinghistory]

I love your videos! Just a quick note that the Queen Mary sailed first in 1936, so she wouldn’t have worn a 20s evening gown, but there used to be Art Deco Festivals on the ship in Long Beach, and hopefully they’ll make a comeback, since many modern people did enjoy wearing clothing of the 20s and 30s to the events (including me!)

[@01Lenda]

What a beautiful journey! Thank you for sharing this! ❤🎉

[@nativetexan6628]

Enjoyed the show so much!!!❤

[@patriciabaughn4749]

Such rich tradition! Thanks for a great video.

[@robindales9303]

Amazing history- thank you!!!!

[@jthepickle7]

I envy you, even while I don't envy you, Comtesse.

[@LEXIEMAYHUNTER]

I would be very interested if you continue this story line and I would imagine that your audience would be as well. Could you please make arrangements to view Balmoral Castle and meet with its estate manager and archivist to further educate the public about Balmoral and its grand history? There are very limited photos of the interior and in fact not much coverage has ever been done to my knowledge. This would be most certainly a feather in your cap. Perhaps your in laws could help you to gain a proper introduction to the King or the key persons who run the estate. Cheers!

[@VeronicaAnderson-t2b]

Greetings from Atlanta 🎉 Just lovely Julie. Very impressive 👏

[@kayleehealy8406]

How wonderfully fabulous Julie, thank you for this video, as usual it was brilliant. Loved loved loved listening to the history of the Athol Highlanders. Just little info for you, here in Queensland (Australia) there is a coal mine called “Blair Athol Coal” so,I’m guessing a Scotsman had something to do with that….. you may not know but Queensland was named after Queen Victoria, also another Australian state is Victoria, also named after Queen Victoria….. cheers

[@lorieovalle4288]

I wish i knew my family history. Great video. Well done❤

[@mauigirl9527]

Love this and all Your videos! Thank You! 🙏💖❤️

[@ajadrew]

It was the sound of the bagpipes that engaged me..... a sound that's drawn me in from as far as I can remember! I'm hoping the name Cambell/Isle of Skye promts you to further investigations 😊

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Imagine the Scotts crossing the Delaware in the Winter. Or Valley Forge?

[@sorbabaric1]

I’ve read the Court would go on process, staying at different noble estates for days, or weeks. This meant that the noble’s estate & purse, not the King or Queen’s, would be providing for the Court. It was an honor, also a way for the King/Queen to inspect their lands, and spread the cost of the Court around. And in the case of a nobleman who had gained the King’s/Queen’s displeasure, or gotten too powerful, the stay would be extended to drain their estate, drawing the stores down. An expensive lesson if their ruler stayed long enough. All those people had to be fed and provided for.

I have Guthrie ancestry and have been to Guthrie. It was good to see a Guthrie as the historian!

[@RianShafer]

Such a beautiful place. That's sad about the old clock tower, the new one is nice enough but lacks the historical charm - better that than the whole place!

[@Maximusrex4575]

I wonder if for some of these fragile relics like the colors shown near the end if sometimes replicas are made for display in these stately homes that are open to visitors?
