April | Vlog #47 | Exploring Doune Castle and Cramond Island | Spring in Scotland
After returning from Germany, I launched straight back into activities. We visited Doune Castle with my partner Conor's family. He also needed to go back to the library of the University of Edinburgh, so we combined it with a trip to Ikea and Cramond beach. Speaking of Cramond, we returned a week later to drop off a friend at the airport and explored the parts of Cramond Island we hadn't yet explored. I also was able to replace my old Note 9 (which suffered the green screen bug) with an updated version, S22 Ultra, with my birthday money (with a bit of luck and a good deal on Ebay). So in this video you see me try it for the first time. Doesn't quite beat Note 9 in quality, but that 10x zoom is worth it ..... In the end, I captured lots of beautiful nature scenes during the Scottish spring. Enjoy!

February | Vlog #45 | Visiting the Wallace Monument | Hillfort with a Cave

The main event in February was visiting the Wallace Monument, which was a first for me. I quite enjoyed it, I have to say. But we also went back to a hillfort called Skirley Craig, which is said to have a cave near it. We didn't spot it last time we were there, so this time I was determined to find it. As per usual, I also have captured plenty of beautiful nature moments for you to relax to. En...

    It's a toss-up between the second and third bell that struck one as pleasing, with the second bell being the favourite of those two. Surprising of the amount of graffiti there in Germany. It just seems that that wouldn't be so prevalent in the public square like that. (JUST an observation, not critiquing) At least the sky graffiti wasn't visible there...

    Very informative however Camelon /Camelot is the old Roman fort at Falkirk not far from Arthurs ovens. One place that is of tremendous importance that hasn't had any drone footage over it as yet you may like to do a programme on is which is a unique Druid serpent mound at Meigle Skelmorlie in Ayrshire. There is only two of these mounds that are known in Scotland the other is in Argyll, although St Vigeans near Arbroath maybe another which has not yet been identified yet. Again this would be interesting to get some drone footage. Really enjoyed this keep the programmes coming. 🤩👍

      ​@@OnMistyMountains Ben Y Hone catches everyone out. In Gaelic there are only 18 letters, which means combinations of letters make different sounds, especially if there's an H involved and there is no Z, which is an anomaly from an English translation. Without wanting to offend anyone, Gaelic is one of the hardest languages for English people, to learn, there are sounds that dont correspond to the written language, unusual sounds, gutteral, nasal, silent letters, lentations, different sentence order, gender specific, variable accents and to top that, local names that have no relation to what is on a sign post. The Walking Highlands website has a pronunciation for each mountain, but even the Gaelic speaker on it got this one wrong

    Superb vid, visited that wee bit of the Gask ridge recently (muir o Fauld) on a freezing cold day. It's spooky to look to the hills and wonder what went through the soldiers minds each night. Or what the tribes made of it all,:the road, the towers, forts. Ardoch is an amazing place though, so strange how it survived (you can walk along the ramparts) whereas other sites like Inchtuthil faded away over the centuries.

    • @OnMistyMountains
      @OnMistyMountains 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To be fair, Inchtuthil has cows all over it. Sometimes the ownership and use of the land can make a difference. I get the impression though that Ardoch was just a massive architectural effort compared to some less preserved Roman camps in Scotland.

    • @tomboH82
      @tomboH82 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, it's almost better when there's less to see as you have to let your imagination take over. Think you are right those ditches at Ardoch got dug so deeply for some reason! Maybe at Inchtuthil they reckoned they were safe (ish) so didn't spend the time digging and then 2000 years of cows has undone all that hard work. Very inspiring work though, need to get up those hills to see those hill forts!

    Uchtred MacDowall a Scottish nobleman, and my tenth great grandfather, who lived in the 16th century. He was a Laird of Garthland and was involved in the Raid of Ruthven in 1582. The group of nobles would gather at Ruthven and plot what each of them would do and how it was to be done. Uchtred was later pardoned for his involvement in the raid and the conspiracy was forgiven and he was given his lands and a charter from the king for the barony of Cornwall and that of Garthland.
