A Wander Around Creetown - a Wee Scottish Village

I'm staying in the lovely wee Scottish town/village of Creetown for a few days, and while I'm here, I decided to take a wee wander round the town with my camera, and Lassie. why not come along for the walk with me, and hear my ramblings as I wander round :)
If you'd like to support me to get out and about more and visit more of Scotland with my DJI mini 2 drone, you could always stick some fuel in my tank using this link. And it is very much appreciated!

One place that I have loved for more than 50 years now. The people are friendly, they will always give you a warm welcome. Am coming up soon to see my dear friends and my sister. (PaulW)

Hi Robert. The way you have incorparated the maps into this video is wonderful. A great insight into and about your country. Many thanks.

[@WindsweptRobert]

Thanks, Colin. We have some lovely locations here in Scotland, and my viewers often ask me where I am filming. Adding maps is a good way to show them :)

[@doreenhollywood7459]

This is my home town and I always think of Runrig singing "Going Home" when I cross the bridge into Creetown. The Gem and Rock museum was my school in 1956 which closed about then and a new school was built. The churchyard is where a lot of my family are now. Memories of going to Sunday school and the Robins. We also went to the Band of Hope in Harbour Street. Relatives moved away to Canada and Auatralia and we moved to Glasgow but Creetown will always be home

[@BlairAir]

Ha, a true drone master: There's a clock tower... ORBIT TIME! lol! Heres the entrance... fly-through! I like walk and talk concept a lot... more of that please 🙏

Those structures have an invisible sign on them (visible only to drone pilots) that says: 'ORBIT; FLY THROUGH' LOL

Keep 'em comin', Robert. We almost have my wife talked into a visit!

If you've never been to Scotland before, it's well worth a visit. A bit of planning in advance so you see as much as you want to while you're here, and you're set! :)

[@johnpftd]

I discovered your channel today and love your work. These Southern American ears appreciated the bit of country/blues background music. We lived in Oxfordshire for 4 years and fell in love with Great Britain. The churchyard, the narrow lanes, all the stone construction really brought back memories.

[@WindsweptRobert]

Thanks John. I front a country music band here in Scotland. We have a few videos up on KZbin. If you’re interested in looking at a few, search on KZbin for ‘ Honky Tonk Heroes Scotland’ or ‘Honky Tonk Heroes Covid’ :)

Thanks for the tour Robert. I'm Scottish but I've only ever seen Creetown on the STV weather map. 😂 😢We're hoping to stay in a lodge in Balminnoch so I'm trying to find out what's around that area. We're bringing the dogs so we hope to find some good walking routes around here. Thanks again 👍

[@WindsweptRobert]

Plenty of fantastic walking routes! Have a great time :)

[@tonysutton6559]

We normally head further north but as we only had a week we decided to turn left at the border and stay near Wigtown. We will definitely be back as we had a great time. Wigtown, Newtown Steward, Creetown (my geologist daughter loved the museum) and Garlieston, where they built mulberry harbours were great little places.

[@WindsweptRobert]

I didnae go into the gem rock museum. Just flew over it! :)

[@tonysutton6559]

@@WindsweptRobert my daughter said that it rocked (in fact she said it so often that we all told her to shut up). I really like the book shops in Wigtown and the little museum in an old Church in Newton Steward. There was so much to do that we will go back with the camper and explore for two weeks.

Very nice video Robert ... very cinematic. I like the way you incorporated your Mini2 video with video shot from your hand cam .. along with some 'Google Earth' shots. Nice job of editing. That church doesn't look like its still being used, from the looks of the roof & exterior, but perhaps its not as bad off as it looks. Music was spot on as well. I remember some time ago watchin a movie about a small town in the UK, where musicians would gather to play folk music .. with 2 bands trying their best to take each other out of the contest. Funny movie. Well done!

[@WindsweptRobert]

That church had a service at 11:30 this morning lol!

@@WindsweptRobert I could swear I saw holes in the roof when you were orbiting it with your Mini2. Ah well, all is well then !

How apt that they put you in Peasants Roost Bob!! 🙂 I assume that was the young lady that was in one of your earlier videos? The one singing with that elderly fella twanging that geetar😜 I liked that vid, brilliantly put together.

Lovely blend of cinematic and walking tour of Creetown. Are you still gigging btw and if so where?

[@WindsweptRobert]

I still do the occasional gig. COVID lockdowns for 2 years kinda put a stop to rehearsals and gigs and a lot of venues are no longer here. My full band (Honky Tonk Heroes) will be playing at Doonfest this year and my duo may be playing at a couple of gala days this summer, but I’m not looking for gigs to be honest

[@DronescapingBritain]

@@WindsweptRobert Nice one, its been a difficult time for musicians and gigs. My last one was Summer 2019. Meant to playing later this year in Europe but with added admin and costs etc not sure whether its viable. But never say never hey. I gave up for 24 years then the call came to reignite the band once more back in 2008. I said it couldn't be done, a week later and very sore fingers there we were on stage once more! Keep up the great work!

[@wulliepie4141]

Brilliant Robert, loved it! yer post production is evolving, the music fits, subject matter is interesting and the shots are cool. ye can only say so much about a drone after all it's just a tool, this is the way your channel should be headed. Braw!

[@WindsweptRobert]

Cheers for that Wullie Pie :) I want to do mair o this type o content :)

[@LandmarkAerialDronePhotography]

I really like these videos Robert, I think you can go a far way producing content like this. I myself have done a mix of handheld footage and ariel footage, but just haven't put them together yet. 😂. But I think you can grow your channel, exploring Scotland and pointing out its amazing sights, history etc in a format that's enjoyable to watch and easy to understand. Love the ending to, very nice. Keep up the great work my friend, I think this is the future. Del 👍

[@WindsweptRobert]

Thanks Del! I do want to move my content more to the 'story-telling' vloggy-style of videos. I'll still do tests of drones as I see the need (especially when the mini 3 comes out!) But I believe I have tested everything there is to test on the mini 2, and most of what there is to test on the DJI FPV. I've spent over a year learning how to fly a drone to a reasonable standard so that I feel that I'm now capable of adding some nice arial footage to the Scottish Tales I want to tell. I hope the viewership for this content is better this year than last year, as my 'story-type' videos (Sawney Bean, Snib's Cave, Scary House) didn't do very well and I actually lost a lot of subscribers during those videos! Time will tell!

[@LandmarkAerialDronePhotography]

Your welcome, and yes I still enjoy your hints and tips on flying and updates to drones etc. I've only been flying for a year now, and I've gained confidence and knowledge. Inpart due to channels like yours, where the information is clear and concise. It's a shame you lost subscribers, but then as I've found you can't please everyone. I just do my videos because I enjoy exploring and history. And I wanted to keep a record of things changing around me, both new and old. But as I said, I definitely see a future in what you are now doing, keep it up my friend. Look forward to seeing the next video, best of luck. 🍀👍
