- 4K City Walks: Cullen to Findlater Castle - Scottish Coastal Walking Treadmill video is new and different for me.
I'm trying a different kind of virtual walk this time. I do a lot of nature walks but I haven't filmed any of them. This is a treadmill trails walk along the Moray Coastal Trail to Findlater Castle. It's a 16th century castle ruin perched on a cliff above a rocky sea. The day was rainy and I did my best to keep the rain off the lens. The walk is partially on paved and gravel path but mostly single track through tall grass and over Sunnyside beach which is small but secluded.
Please let me know if you like this type of virtual hike or not. I suspect those looking for a treadmill virtual walk will like it and others more interested in travel and cities might not.
Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.
From Wikipedia
Findlater Castle:
Findlater Castle is the old seat of the Earls of Findlater and Seafield, sitting on a 50-foot (15 m)-high cliff overlooking the Moray Firth on the coast of Banff and Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It lies about 15 km (9.3 mi) west of Banff, near the village of Sandend, between Cullen and Portsoy. The cliffs here contain quartz; the name "Findlater" is derived not from Norse as earlier stated here, but from the Scots Gaelic words fionn ("white") and leitir ("cliff or steep slope"). The first historical reference to the castle is from 1246. King Alexander III of Scotland repaired this castle in the 1260s in preparation for an invasion by King Haakon IV of Norway. The Vikings took and held the castle for some time. The castle remains that are still there are from the 14th-century rebuilding, when the castle was redesigned based on the Roslyn Castle model.
The castle is a scheduled monument.

Moray Coastal Trail:
The Moray Coastal Trail is a long distance path in north-east Scotland that along the coastline of the Moray council area. The route, which is 72 km long, runs between Forres and Cullen. It is designated as one of Scotland's Great Trails by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), and connects with two further Great Trails: the Speyside Way at Spey Bay, and the Dava Way at Forres. The Moray Coast Trail can be combined with sections of these two routes to form a 153 km circular route known as the Moray Way, and also forms part of the North Sea Trail. The trail is primarily intended for walkers, but many sections are also suitable for cycling and horseriding. An alternative route for cycling, the Moray Coast Ride, shares some sections of path with the Moray Coast Trail, and forms part of the National Cycle Network's Route 1. About 23,000 people use the path every year, of whom about 1,000 complete the entire route.
SNH recommend that the trail be walked west to east (from Forres to Cullen), due to the direction of the prevailing winds. In this direction the following settlements are passed: Forres, Kinloss, Findhorn, Burghead, Hopeman, Lossiemouth, Spey Bay, Portgordon, Buckie, Findochty, Portknockie, Cullen. Places of note along the route are the Covesea Skerries Lighthouse and Bow Fiddle Rock.

Great walk! Love the comments regarding the scenery and sights!
Many thanks! It was a pretty spectacular coast line. Take care -H
Amazing video of History
Thanks Dylan, I'm glad you enjoyed it. -H
I really enjoyed you coastal walks from Cullen. I like your commentary and when you look around. It's great when you show an interesting feature or object. That's what I would do if I was actually walking there. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed it -H
Very nice walk! I love how you periodically stopped to enjoy the amazing scenery! The exploration of the castle ruins at the end was such a great way to end the walk! Absolutely fascinating! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it -H
Thank you for posting this!
My pleasure! I really loved these coastal trails. Such a beautiful country and such amazing scenery. - H.
Thank you for posting! That was an amazing walk! Really enjoyed your comments too.
Our pleasure! So glad you liked it -H
Loved that coastal walk but the end part made my legs shake 😂
So glad you liked it. It's such a beautiful part of the world, especially on a clear day. -H
Wonderful foot paths
Indeed, Heidi. That path is gorgeous. -H
Loved this walk. Please do more in Scotland, Ireland or anywhere else. Really enjoyed.
We were just talking about travel today and where our next adventure will be. Stay tuned! -H
Such a nice walk. Thank you for taking us to places we might not otherwise see.
Aishah Laura Hopson glad to share😀. Thanks for watching- Henry
Amazing!
Thank you! Cheers! -H
Great coastal walk. We stay in Cullen every year but I haven't walked as far as the Castle.
Plan to do it this month now, thank you.
It's well worth it and you can actually get closer via car but don't get the nice shoreline walk. Have a great time and thanks. -H
This is my absolute favorite virtual walk on TH-cam. I full screen these on my iPad and walk on my treadmill - Something I began during COVID - Many walks on TH-cam are silent so I just put my headphones on, connect to my phone and walk while listening to music. From the comments here, there is commentary so next time, I’ll make the hike with no music so I can hear about this gorgeous place. Thank you so very much for the time put into this!! (In case anyone else is looking for a great music pairing - Try this walk with Nightwish…The Greatest Show on Earth was a perfect accompaniment. 👍🏼)
Awesome. Thanks for your praise and musical suggestion!. So glad you are enjoying this. You might also like the ones from Switzerland. -H
Enjoyed watching this walk. Beautiful coast. Will watch again; next time while on treadmill. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment - -Henry
Absolutely nice walk
Thank you 🙏
You bet, thanks for watching so consistently and leaving such kind comments -Henry
Stunning walk, such a beautiful coastline - thank you for sharing this with us and for your narration. That bit at 31:25, I was just picturing myself falling down there if I were filming it, and the next thing you slip - luckily not all the way to the bottom! The way you captured the ruins and cliffs towards the end looked like a scene from a film!
Wow. High praise. Thank you. Yes, it was a bit slippery in parts but I had good shoes. Thanks for watching - Henry
Believe it or not, I know this area too. I spent some of my childhood at the RAF base at Kinloss and Findhorn on the western end of that walk near Forres. When the sun shines it's beautiful. Dolphins swimming in the sea or porpoises and little birds called puffins.
Well we didn’t see any puffins there (we saw them up on Orkney) but it was certainly wonderful and gorgeous. 😀 -Henry
Great view and story~! Thank you for your walk~! :)
You bet. Thanks for stopping by and watching. happy walks. Looking forward to more of your vids too. -Henry
You're a brave soul! I could barely watch at the end!
Some of my ancestors came from northern Scotland and the Orkneys - it must have been a grim existence. They ended up in Nova Scotia and their descendants are still there. That coastal walk was impressive but bleak and cold looking.
Awesome. Love the connection. I also did a couple walks from Orkney if you are interested. -H
@@CityWalks I watched one - got sad thinking of the hard life my ancestors had. I plan to watch the other soon.
Great view, great video! Thanks for the upload!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting. -Henry
Thank you this is absolutely stunning. I am in US and I love Scotland's castles!! Would love to see more!
Thanks so much. I can't wait to get back and film more. All the best -H
This was fantastic - thanks so much for filming and sharing.
Thanks for watching. It really is a cool place and the fact that there are no restrictions. My son and I went back on a sunny day and delved a bit deeper into the castle. -Henry
I love walking along the coast of an island. It gives you such an interesting perspective of where the lines of a place are. Thanks for this, Henry. : )
I loved my walks along the coast. Wish I'd filmed Buckie to Cullen. Stunning. -Henry
Stop for several hours at about 47 minutes and scrabble around under the rocks, especially where the ebb tide runs round bigger rocks, and you will soon fill your pockets with empty shells of Trivia Monacha. I am old and gammy now and won't be back, so can only now reveal to the world what I was doing. Over several years I collected enough to fill a crystal goblet for each of my 2 daughters, daughter-in-law and 5 grand-daughters. They all have pleasant memories of days spent at Sunnyside. and as well as enjoying the beach, the collecting is remembered as a family event.
What a wonderful memory. Thanks so much for sharing. My wife and I were just talking today how much we'd love to get back to Cullen. -H
Wish I was there doing that walk instead of being inside and lockdown. Such a beautiful place.
Me too! Thanks and hope you are able to get out and walking again soon! - -Henry
@@CityWalks I can get and about in the local area where I'm currently reside during this lockdown, but I'd rather be out there away from the 'busy' towns and cities. Hopefully this lockdown will end letting us adventurers get back out there doing what we love. :D
Great walk! Thanks for filming and sharing. :) Walked it this morning on my treadmill, 3.6 miles.
That is awesome! Great work. -H
I love the nature walks (and the city walks too), keep it up!
Awesome. Thanks so much and glad to hear you are enjoying them. -Henry
Very beautiful view of nature 😊
Especially I like view at 1:10:01 and 1:13:05 😊
I love this views 😊
Thank You, GoodWalkers 😊
Thanks so much. Yes, that castle is very cool and so accessible (I mean no fences or roped off areas). Thanks for watching - Henry
I live in Minnesota and I'm totally landlocked except for Lake Superior and I don't get to see that very often oh, so when you're walking next to the ocean the North Sea or wherever please turn your camera on the water and let me watch and watch the waves rolling in it's such a joy to see such a beautiful thing thank you!
Thanks Susan. We're in landlocked Montana now but if I find some open water, I'll try to remember. :-) -H
Great channel!
Thanks for the visit -H
Incredible
Hi Mary. I totally agree. This is one of my favorite walks we did in Scotland. -H
@@CityWalks I must do this walk! What month were you there for this walk?
@@marydezember_author I believe it was June. Apparently it was pretty dry for that time of year and we had mostly very nice weather but still a few stormy days too. Hope you can get there in person.
@@CityWalks Thank you for your videos. They make walking on my treadmill more fun. I really want do the walks in Scotland in person!
@@CityWalks I must do this one! Thanks!
The final landscape is majestic, The Sea , Sky and the rocks uniteds! But You waking alone in more of 1 hour, by deserts ways! Do you not feeling fear or tiredness?
Thanks for watching. I actually enjoy the solitude and I'm not to worried about much. I did get tired on this walk because I had to walk all the way back too (not filmed). Thanks again. -H
This is fantastic! I'm so afraid of heights like this that I'd never make it. But I can watch you risk your neck, somehow! It makes me peddle my stationary bike faster! Seeing ancient things like the castle at the end...awesome.
So glad you are enjoying it. Keep up the great workouts! -H
Really enjoyed this walk. Great with the Covid crisis. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! -H
I have watched this walk all the way through for like easily 20 times. So good. The ending? The finding later Findlater? Totally gripping how dangerous that kinda just rolls off your back!
Hi Kiki. So glad you enjoyed it. I loved this trail and the views are amazing. Scotland has so many incredible walks. Keep on steppin' -H
Beautiful walk, loved this video. A little worried, fearing you might fall, but man, it was worth it !
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a bit perilous in a couple places but probably looked worse than it was. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. -H
OH Henry, this walk was beautiful. Thank you so much for these nature walks. Have you considered coming down to the North East of England. We have more castles than you can shake a flag at. Walks aplenty in the North East of England. No.1 Northumberland Coastal Path - 100km (62ml) of the best coast ever. You can tell I live in Northumberland. Also, there is Hadrian's Wall. Coast to Coast (East to West)
Hi Susan, thanks so much. And yes, I’d love to film more walks in England and the UK in general. I love the walking culture and all the trails. We’ll see when I can get over there again. -H
Really enjoyed the walk, the views were amazing! No traveling no with Covid19 so I’m working on getting fit and enjoying your videos. Scotland has been a dream of mine for many years since I first read Outlander 20 years ago. Thanks from Ontario 🇨🇦.
Hang in there. Travel will be possible again some day. I hope you get a chance to visit Scotland in person. It's a pretty amazing place. -H
Absolutely breathtaking. In the end, I had a bit of anxiety watching you slip and slide near the edge of the cliffs.
You and me both! :--) Thanks for watching -H
Allah very beautiful, thank you ❤️❤️
So glad you enjoyed it. - H
This was a fantastic walk. it made me wonder how various seasides can be so different. I have never seen anything quite like this area. Now I understand why all the houses I have seen are stone. I don't see any trees anywhere. I wonder if they ever had them there. After such a long walk, what comes to mind is how you get back to civilization or do you have to walk back the same way?
Hi Victoria. It varies depending on the route. Sometimes I walk a "loop" that brings me back to my starting point. In this case I just retraced my steps. It goes more quickly when I'm not filming. -Henry
Finally watched this one. I dream to do a trip of the whole united kingdom one day.
Silence N Beats it’s a great place to explore but plan on having a car. Thanks for watching. -Henry
I'm going fishing at the castle tomorrow.
Nice! What can you fish for there?
@@CityWalks Cod pollock flat fish, but got nothing 😂
😊
I love this one. Brings back such wonderful memories. Glad you like it too. -H
Is there any way that you could turn your sound sensitivity up so that we can hear the wind & water & even your steps on those natural surfaces ?
It’s sort of depends on the wind and other ambient noises. Often it will cause an issue. In particular, this camera had no way of setting the record sensitivity. I actually had to turn all the way up and boosted it in Post. My newer ones tend to be a little bit better. Thanks for the suggestion. - H
I noticed that about the Scots property, too - NO safety railings. Expect people to exercise diligence and responsibily and usually they will.
I can’t help but imagine that if this were done in the states it would result in lawsuits and serious injury. As well as damage to the structure itself. Kind of a shame but a significant difference in culture. - Henry
Hey awesome video! I'll go to scotland next year and would love to take this walk too! Did you start from Cullen?
It's fantastic all along the coast there. Have a wonderful trip. -H
Thanks - good footage for stationary bike ride. Missed the "plummet to your death" bit, though - did you disengage to power button for that? Serious question - I know there are managed deer herds in Scotland, but do the natives have to deal with disease carrying deer ticks? You were traipsing through some typical tick habitat.
Good question I’m not sure the answer. However, ticks and other bity things Are pretty much everywhere so I try not to worry too much about it. Thanks for watching and the comment. - Henry
@@CityWalks thanks so much for reaching back and pack the tweezers just in case 🙃
I love your video. Next week i'm going to Scotland to check that place and i also want to make a video about it. My question is do i need a permnission to film it and upload it on youtubue? Is it considered like a public place?
I didn't ask permission, so I assume it's ok. -H
The castle in Scotland do you have to retrace your steps and go all the way back or do you have a helicopter magically lift you from the castle I'd take you back to the mainland? Great trip.
Hah. This is on the mainland here and there are walking trails everywhere. It's so wonderful. Thanks. -H
7th video walk...yoohoo!!! 👟👟👍😂
Keep up the good work! -H
which way is he walking to? Aberdeen or Inverness?
I'm headed east then return west. Aberdeen is more SE and Inverness is more West. -H
@@CityWalks thank you :)
At 7:36 there is as pet cemetery to your right
Yeah I noticed that afterwards. Slightly eery but also sweet. Thank for pointing it out. -H
Bhideo bhidio snog. Feuch an dèan thu barrachd.
gotta love Google Translate. I will try to make more. Headed up to Orkney today. -H
@@CityWalks Have you had the opportunity to hear local people speak Scottish Gaelic? I read there is a viking carvings found on the island.
@@goldiebear4050 Hi goldie Bear. Yep, I've heard Gaelic spoken several times. There's also a TV channel in Scottish Gaelic. I'll keep an eye out for the Viking stone. There are heaps of ancient and neolithic sites on the island. -H
@@CityWalks Have a fantastic time in Scotland and have a fabulous time walking!
"followed" you on Google Earth ;)
Very cool. Hope you enjoyed your walk. 👍😁- H
do lochness
That would be a LONG walk. LOL. I'd love to get back and do some walks in that area. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Henry
