Thank you so much for showing and discussing Golspie! My grandfather was from this little village, as were his parents and on back several hundred years. I have never been but have always longed to go! :))
My pleasure, it was wonderful to visit and take a look around. I really enjoyed my time in the north of Scotland, the whole area was spectacular. The Golspie waterfront was so relaxing, definitely could have stayed there longer! Fascinating to hear that so much of your family history is based in the village - hopefully you get to visit at some point in the future. Thanks for watching, much appreciated.
Thanks guys, I appreciate you watching! Maybe next time I'll hike right the way up to the base of the statue, it must be huge when you actually get there.
Funny you mentioned googling cus I was starting with "controversial statue Scotland ". Also the villages and the cafe. Very interesting area I never knew anything about.
Thanks for watching Heidi. Yes the statue is an interesting one, I enjoyed learning about it! I really wanted to walk up and see it from the top but I just didn't have the time. I understand there's a trail that leads up from Golspie - the views from up there are wonderful also. Maybe next time. It was nice to visit both Golspie and Helmsdale - worth a visit if you're ever up that way!
Hello Shirley, thanks for watching. I arrived in Scotland on the 31st August last year and stayed for a week. This was recorded on my first day, the weather was wonderful - think I got lucky!

Great video Matt! Very interesting story on why the statue is so controversial. Loved the photograph spot!

That's the war memorial in Helmsdale with the tower and clock.
Thanks for pointing that out, Richard. Much appreciated.
Nice to meet you
When did you do this trip? Weather looks lovely.

Osm video🎥
Thanks, I think! What does osm mean?
Nice video. Lybster is pronounced Liebster
Thanks for the info Rachel, very useful.
Not "Libster" but "Lie - b - ster" Pronunciation of Lybster.
Thanks for the information, Richard. I wasn't sure which way to go but now I know.
He (the duke) sounds like a Tory.

Quite. Interesting really that a southern English man dare tell the locals their history, we don’t really need you up here lol
Not feeling the love in this comment 😬
