My name is Elizabeth Turnbull I am a directly related
@@DanielNovak-f1r Hi Elizabeth Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on our short film, it's genuinely appreciated by Jim and I. 👍 Your family history is, like most of Scottish history, is full of intrigue and wonder! All of our history is too important to be forgotten, particularly, our own family histories. Stay well and happy. Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.
@@thetwatogs I want to research the turnbull side more there are some very dark things that I would to prove are lies
You were correct about the name it has been said in my family that lord Turnbull made his daughters kiss the guests to welcome them in
History is certainly full of truths, half truths and in some cases real doubt. Hopefully you will find out true story of your ancestors and it is what you suspected. 😊 Fatlips is a brilliant name for a castle and the reason for that name is a story itself. Good luck with your research! 👍 Ian and Jim The Twa Togs. @@DanielNovak-f1r
I recently found out through Ancestry that I’m a direct descendant of Lachlan on my mother’s side, although by the time it got to my mom the name spelling changed to McIntosh. I’m in Indiana here in the USA.
@@brittaniesidebottom Hi Brittanie, Thank you for taking the time to watch our Clan Mackintosh film, Jim and I are truly appreciative of you doing that. The history of the Clan Mackintosh is fantastic, we could have made a full movie of all the Mackintosh stories we had researched, or were told about by the amazing Mrs Mackintosh of Mackintosh. You are very lucky to be part of the Mackintosh story. Hopefully one day you will get to come across 'The Big Pond' to the Highlands of Scotland to see for yourself, the land of your ancestors. 😁 👍 Stay well and happy! Ian and Jim The Twa Togs
@@thetwatogs I would love to come visit it and see it in person someday ❤️
Robert the Bruce lived on an estate called Dalquhurn which means Field of the Heron its probably the same meaning with different spelling in this case
It will be interesting to see if they can actually locate where the mansion/castle was around the Dalquhurn/Renton area where Robert the Bruce spent his last few years. Tried to find the meaning of Dalquharran but no joy so far. Thanks you so much for taking the time to watch our short film. Genuinely appreciated by both Jim and I. The Twa Togs.😊
Thankyou from one far from my roots ❤ my mum was a Elliott.
You are more than welcome Jay. Jim and I appreciate you taking the time to watch our film and that you got something from it. This is the main reason we make our films. If you ever get the opportunity to go to Hermitage Castle, where your Clan Elliot once we're a force to be reckoned with, you should take it, what about its stunning. 😁 Stay well and happy Jay! Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.
Thanks for the history. I am a Ross descendant, raised by Brodie McIntosh descendants in Aus. Had no idea they were neighbours until recently.
Hi SR, Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on the Mackintosh film. We genuinely appreciate it. Jim and I have had a number of good folks, like yourself, comment from all over the world about their Mackintosh ancestry. It does make you wonder how many people in total are linked to the Clan Mackintosh and other Scottish Clans, I'll bet there are quite a few? Thanks again SR! Wishing you health and happiness from Bonnie Scotland. Ian & Jim The Twa Togs. 😁

Thank you so much MRFUCR for taking the time to watch our Mackintosh film. Jim and I are always genuinely grateful to the good folk, like yourself, that gives up time to watch our wee films. Stay well and happy MRFUCR! Best wishes from Bonnie Scotland 🏴 Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.
I have visited Moy Hall twice and had the pleasure of meeting Celia Mackintosh both times. Proud to have Mackintosh blood in my veins.
Thanks for your comment SingleMalt77005, much appreciated by Jim and I. Mrs Mackintosh is indeed a very special lady. Both Jim and I are very happy and privileged to have spent the time with her making our Mackintosh film. We are very proud to have Mrs Mackintosh as a cherished friend. Warmest wishes. Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.

Wow! Just found this. Thankyou! Actually I just bought the book from Amazon. Incredible stories. Puts so much together for me that I never knew. Just for trivia, My Uncle Bob McIntosh was president of Bulova Watch Canada in the 60's and is the one who brought in the jewels & swiss movement. He was not happy when things went digital. Also according to Jeff Healy (famous Canadian blind bluesman) as the son of my Uncle Doug McIntosh's Wife's sister Uncle Doug taught him to play guitar on his lap sitting on my uncles knee. No One plays the guitar like Jeff & I mean no one. Simply one of kind. Charles Thomas McIntosh, Winnipeg Mb, Born Toronto Ontario Canada.
Hi Chuck, We hope you are well? Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our wee film and make a comment, which Jim and I really appreciate. We are glad you enjoyed the Clan Mackintosh film. We really enjoyed researching and making this particular film and made some great friends in the process. Both your uncle Bob and Doug sound like they were very interesting characters. Albeit, I don't know a lot about Jeff Healy, what I do know, as you rightly said, he was an incredible musician/singer, his guitar playing was truly unique. A sad loss to the world of music. Thanks again Chuck and warm wishes from Scotland. Ian and Jim, the Twa Togs.
This my family line & still looking for a few ppl on my tree!!
Hello @olympia007macklin. Warm greetings from Scotland. Thank you for watching our Clan Mackintosh film, Jim and I are genuinely grateful that you took the time to watch it and to make a comment as well, awesome! We hope you eventually find all the people you need to complete your family tree. From our experience of Clan Mackintosh, Jim and I can tell you that you are part of a very special Scottish lineage. Thanks again and the best of luck in your research. 😊🤞🏴
Thank you for posting! I am descended from Clan Mackintosh - my 7th great grandfather was Alexander MacIntosh (ca 1695-ca 1750) who sold Blervie Castle which was eventually owned by his father-in-law, William Duff, Earl of Fife in the 1700's. He and his wife later moved to America and in the end had a large family - total of 22 children. So considering that so many of the MacIntosh Clan were lost at Culloden, I now understand how the origin of the folk saying in my family began - 'if there's a death in the family, there will soon be a birth of a child-nature reasserts itself.' If one is lost, another rises in their place. People working through grief, too. When I was discovered my Scottish ancestry, I was speechless at simple family sayings and stories that have been handed down and what they possibly meant. Would love to visit Scotland some day - Best to you all. :)
A big warm Scottish hello from Jim and I @calicomist9213. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment on our Clan Mackintosh film. It genuinely means so much to us both. Your Clan is undoubtedly one of the top Clans in Scotland with a very rich history. Jim and I only covered a small segment of the Mackintosh story. There's a whole lot more! We had a great 2 days wandering around and filming on the lands of your ancestors and to top it all, we made a great new friend in the Clan Chief, John Mackintosh of Mackintosh's Mother, Mrs Mackintosh of Mackintosh, a real wonderful and beautiful person. We hope you do get to come to Scotland some day and see where your ancestors once lived, loved and fought in the name of Mackintosh, if you do make it over, you definitely will not be disappointed that's for sure. Take care, stay happy @calicomist9213. Thanks again. 😁 👍 Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.
Really enjoyed this little piece of our history thank you guys its appreciated 🙏
Thank you so much @tangerinedreamer! It's our absolute pleasure. Jim and I are genuinely grateful to you for taking the time to watch and comment on our Clan Mackintosh film. You could easily produce a film on Clan Mackintosh that would last hours if you were to take in the entire colourful history of your wonderful Clan. We had a brilliant few days making this short film. Stay fit and healthy. 😁 Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.
That should read Tioram. Stupid predictive text.
I've loved castle Fulham since I was 10, and I've loved rush since I was 15. Saw them live in Birmingham in 1977. Both castle and band are/were brilliant. Thank you for this and RIP Neil.
Hi Russell, Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on our Castle Tioram adventure, genuinely appreciated by us both. Castle Tioram is a stunning castle with some great history and the location is just amazing. Jim and I have been big Rush fans from mid 70's. Our first gig was at the Glasgow Apollo in 1976. We've been to around 30 Rush gigs since then, the last being at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in 2015. It still hurts both Jim and I whenever we think about Neil Peart 'The Professor' Always in our hearts 💕 Thanks again Russell! Ian & Jim The Twa Togs.
Thank you so much for making this.
Our pleasure ignitionstart. Jim and I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. 😁 👍
Hi there, I am a Macintosh trying to do some genealogy and learning all I can about Macintosh's. I reside in Idaho, USA and would love to be there so I am very grateful for this video as it's likely the closest I'll ever be. Thank you for your work in this video. ❤😊
Hi there Brooklynne, Jim and I are really happy that you got something from our film on the Clan Mackintosh. Your clan (Mackintosh) has a long fascinating history here in Scotland with many more wonderful stories and people outwith the ones we covered in the film. Never give up hope of visiting our bonnie wee country of Scotland, there is absolutely no doubt you'd love it here!! and I'm sure Clan Mackintosh would love to see you here as well. 😁 Thanks again for taking the time to watch our film and writing your lovely comment. It is truly appreciated by us both. Much love from Scotland Brooklynne. Kindest regards, Ian and Jim The Twa Togs. 😁
Ritchie here. We are kin.
Awesome video….Subscribed. Me (Monkey Dix) and my mate Monkey Mark are going on a 10 Day trip on our Monkeys including a Night at Castle Tioram …Love the Rush T Shirts by the way….VIVA 2112…Cheers Dean aka MonkeyDixAdventures
Cheers Monkey Dix, Jim and I are very greatful and truly appreciate your comment and for taking the time to watch our wee film. You will absolutely love your time at Castle Tioram and around Moidart. If you get the chance, it would be worth a wee tour on your bikes around the Ardnamurchan Penisula. Mind yourself on the roads though, mostly single track with a lot of twists and bends. Sanna beach is amazing! (it's in the film) As you will have seen from our film, there is a lot of cracking stories about the Castle. We only covered a few very briefly. There's more to be told. We hope you have an amazing 10 days touring. Thank you for subscribing to our wee channel. Us Rush fans 'love it'! Stay well and happy Dean. Ian and Jim The Twa Togs. 😁 👍 Ian
Well done very interesting! Thank you for all your efforts! Look forward to much more!
Thank you so much Dave, much appreciated. We are very happy and humble that you took the time to watch our wee film about Hermitage and Bothwell castles. Jim and I are hoping to have a new adventure up on our channel very soon. Thanks again Dave. 😊👍 Ian and Jim The Twa Togs.
Marry Stuart and Elizabeth I are cousins.
Page 130 Finally she was put on trial and convicted of taking part in a plot to assasinate Elizabeth.
Hi Nurlatifah, thank you for watching our films. 👍 Yes, you are absolutely right. Mary (Queen of Scots) Stuart was a cousin of Elizabeth I. Mary Queen of Scots story is fascinating. Maybe someday Jim and I will make a film all about her? Thanks again Nurlatifah for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated, Ian and Jim, The Twa Togs.
Being a Davidson, this just happened to make it to my TH-cam wall. I know the Davidsons came from the Mackintosh Clan a millennia ago. The second or third son of the 7th Chief had a daughter that married off into the Comyn family. From there was a Donald Comyn, down to a Donald Dubh, then David Dubh, and then from him came my paternal name Davidson. I've heard that we were from the Pictish tribes, but not sure to what certainty that is true.
Whats the name of that Castle? I'll have to visit.
Hi TatorMan73, thanks for taking the time to comment on our Clan Mackintosh film. It's genuinely appreciated by Jim and I. As you probably know, Clan Davidson played a huge part in the founding of Clan Chatten along with the MacPherson Clan. Still going strong to this day. From what we have picked up from our research, it's thought that David Dubh, (Cummings/Comyn) the founder of Clan Davidson (Clan Dhia) is a direct descendant from the Picts? There are apparently many stories on the formation of your ancestoral Clan, all of them, probably, with a little bit of truth in them. That's part of what makes Scottish history what it is I suppose. Thanks again for for your lovely comment. Stay safe and well. The Twa Togs. 😁 👍
@@thetwatogs I myself have only recently gotten interested in this history. I have started doing research on my own family and that has led back to this info. Now the pict thing was only from one video i found. It's something I'm still learning about which is why I loved your video. I'm always wanting to explore more and learn as much as I can.
The castle in the Clan Mackintosh film is Rait Castle, which was originally owned by the Comyn Clan. (originally known as De Rait) The castle is not far from Nairn, close to Inverness. As you will have seen in the film, the big story of the castle is the slaughter of the Comyn's and the ghost of the daughter of the owner of the castle, who murdered her for having an affair with a young Mackintosh and and passing on secret info to him. The full story is in our film. Keep up your research into your ancestors. Like Jim and I, you'll get a brilliant buzz from it. 😁 👍
I've been taught alot of this history since I was a wee lad, it's great to see it presented in a video though. I appreciate what you've done. Thanks lads. Loch Moigh!
Hi Matt, Thank you so much for you excellent comment, Jim and I truly appreciate it. The Clan Mackintosh history, as you know, is fascinating and has many brilliant stories. Jim and I covered just a tiny little bit of the Clan history kindly guided by the most amazing, Mrs Mackintosh of Mackintosh. Maybe someday we will do another Mackintosh episode. 😁 Thanks again for taking the time to watch our wee film and for posting your lovely comment. Loch Moigh! Ian and Jim The Twa Togs. 👍
"the only problem w' Scotland, is that it's full o' Scots!"
Hi A Maui Celtic Connections. Thanks for taking the time to watch our film and make a comment. It is indeed changed days since medieval Scotland. Scotland is now very much multi cultural and we have many different cultures proudly calling Scotland their home. 😁 👍 Thanks again for your comment, much appreciated. The Twa Togs.
So much Scottish descendants in jamaica I'm also a Mc intosh from Kingston jamaica.....apparentlly 1200 Scottish prisoners from the cromwellian war were exiled to jamaica and more Scottish natives started to inhabit the island over time
There should be around 6000 Mc intosh in jamaica
Hi there MvtteBlvk, Thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to watch our short film about Clan Mackintosh, it’s very much appreciated by Jim and I. Yes, you are totally correct about the Scottish descendants in Jamaica, in fact, It has been said that up to 60% of names in the Jamaican telephone directory are Scottish in origin there is evidence that a list of the 30 most common surnames in Jamaica, include Anderson, which is my own surname, Campbell, Gordon, Graham, Grant, Malcolm, Millar and Dixson. Again you are spot on with the original cause being that of Scottish prisoners of war from the Cromwellian wars, the Jacobite rebellions and the Covenanters uprising were all exiled to Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands such as Barbados. Many of these exiles were taken as slaves who worked alongside slaves of African descent in the sugar plantations. Wow! 6000 McIntosh’s living in Jamaica. That is amazing. We’ll be sure to let Mrs Mackintosh of Mackintosh know of this fact. Stay happy and safe MvtteBlvk. Thanks again from the Twa Togs!
@@thetwatogs yes indeed that's a lot of history. Jamaica is a very diverse island in ethnicities so much west African, European and Asian descendants here all mixed into one but the Scottish and irish names stand out the most here if anything .....and thank you for the work you guys did in the video to help spreading knowledge on the clan and I hope all is well 🇯🇲🖤 one thing I must say it's a shame the uk doesn't acknowledge Jamaica restricting travel to Jamaicans unless we earn a visa with all the history the countries have together much love from across the pond 💯🙏🏿
@@mvtteblvk It was a great pleasure for Jim and I to make the Clan Mackintosh film MvtteBlvk. Our main purpose is to get information, through film, to folks around the world about Scotland’s past. Scottish history and it’s links to countries around the world has many cracking stories to be told. Maybe some day the UK will see the light and rightly acknowledge the shared history with Jamaica and the Jamaican people who have contributed so much to the British in general!! Stay well and happy and live your life to the max! Hopefully, there will be other Twa Togs short films that will interest you and for you to enjoy? Much love from Bonnie Scotland 🏴 💙 Ian and Jim The Twa Togs
@@thetwatogs much love to you all too keep up the good work👏❤
I am a direct decendant of Angus and lady Anne mcintosh in Australia through Robert the bandmaster who landed in Sydney Australia in 1813
Hi Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. That's amazing that you have tracked you lineage all the way back to Angus the 22nd Mackintosh and his amazing wife Lady Anne. The story of 'Colonel Anne' is fascinating and we could make a film just about her on her own. Just had a wee look at Robert Mcintosh's ('the bandmaster') history. Born in Perthshire, travelling to Australia on the 'Windham' and becoming a farmer/settler is a story in its self that fits in well with the overall fantastic history of the Clan Mackintosh. 😁 Cheers Chris. Ian and Jim, the 'Twa Togs'
I’m from the USA and I can’t understand most of what they are saying. But I see the transcript and now I get, what I was missing
Hello Ms Writer, Warm greetings from Scotland. Thank you for taking the the time to watch our wee film about Clan Mackintosh, and also for making your comment. It’s truly appreciated by Jim and I. That’s a shame that you couldn’t understand some of our Scottish dialect. As you may have gathered, we are very proud of our Scottish history and heritage and we make these short Scottish history films just for fun and to get some of the lesser known history stories and their locations out to folks across the world with the hope folks might find them interesting. We are not professional film makers and we are learning with every film that we make, so your comment will help us with future adventures, thanks for that. Jim and I hope you will consider watching more of our films in the future and hopefully they will be a little bit easier to understand in terms of our dialect. Much love from Scotland Ian and Jim, The Twa Togs.
@@thetwatogs Thank you for the reply. My great great grandmother was a “McIntosh”, and I hope , she is from the same clan as Macintosh. Her family migrated from Scotland to Tennessee. So I’m very interested to learn. Technically, I work in marketing, so if I may suggest to give my feedback to perhaps help on future projects …In regards to your accents, I love the sound of your voices talking, but, I think the volume is too low due to microphone challenges , so the music makes it harder for me to hear the consonants. But If you added translations at the bottom , I would love, it and I could follow along much better.
@@mswriter3612 Great to hear from you again Ms Writer. Thank you so much for your advice on how we could make our future productions better. Jim and I will certainly be more considerate with both our sound and the clarity of our accents. 😁 As mentioned previously, Jim and I started making these short films mainly for fun and for friends and family that live in Canada, Australia and even England. Now that we are reaching folks from all over the world, you are right in your suggestion that we need to be thinking a bit more about our marketing and our final productions. We are working on it. Thanks again for your thoughtful and helpful comments. As always we genuinely appreciate it. Warmest regards from Scotland! Ian and Jim 😁👍
Greetings from the Great, Great, Great Grandson of a Macintosh- Immigrant and Pioneer.
Soylent G , Thank you so much for taking the time to view our wee video, you must tell us more about your pioneering ancestor and being a Macintosh, We've no doubt he would have made a massive impact no matter the continent he settled in :-) Jim ( and Ian)
@@part3photography Daniel Mackintosh, born 1821 near Edinburgh. Came across the Atlantic from Liverpool in 1845 bound for New Orleans. He was part of the "Miller Company" Mormon Handcart group and was the Company Clerk. They made the trek to Salt Lake in 1852 and in 1854 he was appointed to the office of Treasurer of the then "Territory" of Utah appointed by Brigham Young. I would love to find more about him or anyone related to him still in Scotland.
@@soylentg6270 My apologies for this late reply, I can guess if you try one of the Genealogy web sites you could find out more about Danial, My mother cousin who lives in England did an Anderson family tree for my mum that went back to the Isle of Mull in the early 18th century and discovered my mother grandmother was a relation the the Campbell's of Mull and lived in a castle on the island, his information was given by the Mormons who I believe hold lots of early UK records of births and deaths, so If you ask one of your local Mormon churches, I'm sure they would point you in the right direction and hopefully give you some answers, or perhaps write to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland as I'm sure they will hold records too ( and perhaps give you the exact location of Daniel's birth place? Fingers crossed this helps. Jim (and Ian)
Lovely bunch of people and very informative!

Thank you so Much Arlene, It such a joy for both Ian and I to read your beautiful comments ( you should be our PR advisor) We are both overjoyed to know you liked this one in particular, Mrs M of M was the inspiration for Ian and I doing this brief history of the Clan Mackintosh after we visited her home (Estate) sat in her company sipping a nice cup of tea with beautiful Scottish Biscuits and listening to her stories of being the wife of Lachlan Ronald Duncan Mackintosh of Mackintosh 30th Chief of Clan Mackintosh and her beautiful children ( all grown up and married) If you ever get a chance to visit Moy Hall & Loch Moy, you would not be disappointed. Thank you again Arlene and keep your eyes pealed for more Twa Togs Adventures :-)
Loved the video and the auld Lang syne at the end brought a wee tear to my eyes Arlene Manchester
You can't have a festive film without auld lang syne Arlene. Thanks again for the lovely comment. Ian and Jim. 😁
Hi guys just watched the video another great story and Scotland’s history. Ian is right it would make a cracking hotel keep them coming Arlene Manchester
It's a cracking bit of architecture Arlene, it's a real shame as to how it's been left to crumble. Maybe one day you'll get the chance to see some of these places for yourself. 😁 👍 Ian and Jim.
Absolutely brilliant so glad my wee sister Margo told me about these videos keep them coming love them Arlene Manchester
Thanks again Arlene, really happy to hear you are enjoying oor wee films. Jim and I are currently working on our next adventure. Thanks for your amazing support Arlene. 😁 👍 Ian and Jim
So great to see you back with another production! And as usual so well done. I learned a lot about my country. We were late arrivers in Ontario from Scotland, 1905. Look forward to your next. Thanks to Anne Marie for bridging the gap.
Hi Cathy, great to hear from you again and as always, thanks for your lovely comment and continued support. Jim and I do genuinely appreciate it. Yeah, Anne-Marie is truly a star and very good friend as well. We are both 'over the moon' that our wee film had some resonance for you. That's one of the main reasons we make these wee films. 😁 👍 Stay happy Cathy. Ian and Jim. 😁
Thank you for the kind words, Cathy and Ian. I learned so much during the pre-production research phase. Despite many visits to Edinburgh castle, that was my first up close visit to the plaque and the ties to our two countries. Long may the alliance continue. 🇨🇦🤘🏻🏴
Hi Ian and Jim my sister Margo has shared all your twa togs adventures with me how much this is reminding me of my childhood days in my beautiful country. I have given a thumbs up and really looking forward to watching all the other series. Arlene Young
Hi Arlene, thank you so much for taking time out to make your much appreciated comment. Jim and I are very happy you enjoy oor wee films and that we can bring some comforting memories of your past life back home in Scotland. Stay happy Ian and Jim. 😁 👍
Wonderful narrative on the bond between our two great countries !! Great to see another fellow Canadian joining in as the rose between two thorns !! Lol . You guys are awesome . Miss and love you guys and can’t wait to get back to see our extended family members . LYM ❤️😎🍻🇨🇦🏴
Thought you might like this wee adventure brother Dave. Scotland and Canada are well and truly blessed with a bond that is full of love and appreciation for each other. Jim and I really miss you brother Dave and we hope to see you one day soon. LYM! 😁 🥰 🏴🇨🇦 Forever friends!
Welcome back Ian and Jim really missed your wee ventures, although we’ve waited sometime I absolutely enjoyed this one. Great to have you both back. Margo
Thank you so much Margo. We can always count on you and that's absolutely fantastic. That gives Jim and I so much of a boost. Thanks pal!! 😁
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.
You are more than welcome Rosemary. Thank you for your kind comment. It's genuinely appreciated by both Jim and I. Stay happy The Twa Togs. 😁
Thanks Rosemary, it was so much fun making it with these lovely pals ❤
Thank you gentlemen for explaining (information) of some of our family history. Best video I’ve seen. My ancestors (two brothers l believe) came to Australia from the highlands around 1852. My grandfather married a Cummins, might be a bit of history repeating itself. Thank you once again.
Hi there there Aussie Traveller. It is a complete and most enjoyable pleasure to bring you a tiny bit about your family history, there is tons more! Jim and I loved every minute of making this adventure and to top it all, we have made a brilliant friend in Mrs Mackintosh of Mackintosh. Thank you so much for you're amazing comment and taking the time to write it. Genuinely appreciate by both of The Twa Togs. Stay well and happy 😊 👍
Very good,
Thank you so much David, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive comment. 😁 👍
@@thetwatogs I didn’t know this was a Kennedy castle, I believe the Scottish Kennedy’s to be part of my ancestry so is of interest, I would love to know where the family grave is located near the castle so I can visit next time I’m up there
I was just saying to Jim (the other Twa Tog) I wondered if you could be related to the Ayrshire Kennedy's? The graves are literally a 3 minute walk from the old Dalquharran Castle. Sadly, as you probably saw in our film? The graves are unkept and in a seriously condition. We hope you get to visit these amazing castles one day soon. We do have plans to make another adventure, later in the year, to Greenan Castle, near Ayr, which also has a has a link to your ancestors. Keep your eye on our channel for that one. All the best David! The Twa Togs. 😁 👍
@@thetwatogs I looked but I can't see any info in any detail about the graveyard, I'm hoping someone will try and do a decent vid of it showing any writings etc (hint hint) lol
@@davidkennedy5044 David, ( Jim here) When Ian and I did this filming last year, we did go to the graveyard and to be honest we did take pictures and a small video, most of the grave stones were damaged and the ones that had not been the writings on them had been covered in moss and other organisms, that’s why we only posted the one image of the Kennedy graveyard, if I can find the other images I took, I will let you know on here and if you want I can send them to you? Thanks again for you comments David and your interest in the Scottish Kennedy family ( the wealthy ones ) 😉 😉
Outstanding video fellas!!!
Thank you so much once again Shawn for your lovely comment. Jim and I are very grateful and really happy you are enjoying our wee films. 😁 👍 We are currently planning our next couple of adventures. Look out for a new adventure in a few weeks. Cheers to you Shawn. 👍
Fantastic that they are presenting Clan Mackintosh. Neither the presenters nor the sound engineer were prepared. Stunning videography and drone videos.Lovely seeing the Mrs.
Thank you John for your comment, we appreciate it. Both Jim and I really enjoy making our wee films and we definitely do not profess to being professional, we started by using the most basic equipment, albeit we are adding to it with better gadgets as we go. Both Jim and I believe It's just good to let people see and hear about the places we visit and people we meet, such as the amazing Mrs Mackintosh! We are learning new things about all areas of film production everytime we go on our adventures. Thanks again for you comment John. 😁 👍
Nicely done gentlemen! This is Tony one of Dave's hockey buddies that you met when we went to the Rush concert back in Toronto a few years back!
Hi Tony, I hope your are well fellow Rush fan!! Great to hear from you and we are over the moon you like our daft wee films. You take care Tony, hopefully Jim and I will meet you once more sometime in the future. 😁 👍 🏴🇨🇦
I need closed captioning to understand these people.
Matias Geraldo the 2nd ( What a brilliant name) we have to agree with you on this occasion, anyone Not from Scotland watching our channel will find it hard to understand the Scottish accent ( although we do try to keep our Scots dialect to a minimum) thank you for taking the time to look at our Castle Tioram video ( I'm guessing you never watched the whole 16 minutes) Both Ian and I (Jim) are happy that you stopped by... just for a laugh you should watch 3 minutes of our videos with the Captions on, you'll notice that the TH-cam algorithm for the English language finds it difficult to translate our dialect in much the same way you did :-)
You guys should check out the Lennox castle ruins, my cousin was married to a descendent of the clan lennox
We live just 30 minutes drive from Lennox Castle. We will certainly add it to our list of potential adventures Eileen. Thank you for the suggestion, much appreciated.😀👍🏼
Hello from The U.S.A. I love your videos and the magical places you guys visit
Thank you so much Eileen. We are over the moon that you enjoy our wee films! 😁 Hopefully, you will tune in for future adventures. We are planning an adventure for the Spring which has a huge American link, watch out for that one!! In the meantime the Twa Togs send you warm greetings from Bonnie Scotland. Thanks again for your kind comment. 😁 👍
I LOVE♥️,LOVE,♥️ CASTLES🥰 evan if theirs not much left. Thank you very much for your videos. GOD BLESS Cathy 🌻 Reardon Mansfield, Ohio 🇺🇸
Thank you so much Cathy for the encouraging and lovely comment, Jim and I genuinely appreciate it and also that you have taken the time to actually comment. More castles and their histories coming throughout 2022. We hope you'll join us on our future adventures. Much love from Bonnie Scotland. 🏴
Nicely done and special mention of the shirts featuring Rush.
Thank you Mark for the lovely comment. 😁 Both Jim and I are massive Rush fans and we wear our t-shirts as a little tribute to our all time favourite band. Really glad you enjoyed our Fatlips and Cessford adventure. We have more adventures on our TH-cam channel that you might find interesting. Thanks again for your comment, much appreciated by us both. 👍🎥😁
Thanks fellas!!! Very nice. This world needed that. I have not belly laughed like that for a couple of years. The bee was extremely funny. Loc Moy!!! Please keep these videos coming. Have blessed New Year guys.
Really happy we could put a wee smile on your face for a wee while at least Shawn. We all need a bit of laugh at times, hopefully The Twa Togs will bring many more in 2022. Thank you so much for all of your kind words and encouragement in our first year. It was amazing, thanks Shawn. All the best for 2020. 😁 👍
Absolutely fantastic, merry Christmas Ian and Jim can’t wait until 2022 to see more of your adventures. You both have been keeping us going all through this pandemic. It’s great to see our family on TH-cam xx
