Evelyn, you had me at the first Pissed Off. People are going to love your storytelling...grand job.
hahahah! My husband let me finish the take and then he said "are you sure you want to say pissed?" And that ended up being the edit I used! lol
Thanks Evelyn . One of my favorite parts of this video was a solitary sheep just walking along Not Afraid of Anything seeming happy.
🥰🥰🥰 I looooooove sheep!
Love the music🎶❤! Love the set, the view, the story🔛💙! Amazing dear Evelyn👍🏻! Thank you🙏🏻 for this episode🕌🌄!
Elisabeta R yay!!! Glad you liked!!! Bagpipes and Scotland just go together methinks!!! ;) thank you dear friend!
I love this story of Robert the Bruce. 🕷🕸
Isn’t the spider story fun 😁😁
Very cool. Thanks for this. I'm visiting Scotland in a few weeks. Always good to have videos like this to plan possible destinations.
Michael Kühnl Vielen Dank!! amazing!!! Scotland is THE BEST!! If you have a ruined castle and abbey penchant my Instagram is FULL of Scottish landmarks!! 💚🙏🏻🏰
I have a uncle by marriage, Robert the Bruce would be my uncle John McIntosh 20th great grandfather, how cool is that! Presently I have been doing a lot of research on Scotland to input on our ancestry tree. Only one young daughter, Marjorie Bruce (10) was captured and King Edward I of England sent her to Gilbertine convent at Watton. Her step mother Elizabeth (de Burgh) was placed under house arrest at a manor house in Yorkshire. Marjorie's two aunts that were also captured, Christina (Bruce) went to another convent, aunt Mary (Bruce) was not so lucky and imprisoned in wooden cage exposed to public view. I loved the video, Thank you Evelyn.
Talked all about this on a Live where all of that happened yesterday!
First class. Epic stuff. Should be on TV.
Ian Scott ahhh best comment ever! You’ve made my day! Thank you Ian!!
You just popped up on my feed and i've GOT to start at the beginning! looking forward to this binge!

JomWithSamad ahhh yay! I had never been to Arran before this! It was a birthday trip! Definitely want to go back again and stay longer! 💚💚💚
I've read that an Arran branch of the Fullerton were one of those that looked after Robert the Bruce in Brodick Bay and a Fergus Fullerton was later awarded with lands by him in Kilmichael, Arran in 1307. I've also read a Fullerton was among the Knights that accompanied The Black Douglas on a journey to take Robert's heart to the Holy Land, unfortunately they both met their end in Spain fighting Moors...oh and I recommend people watch "The Outlaw King" on Netflix especially if you want to know who the Black Douglas is :)
I am a descendant of Robert the Bruce too . . . . we are related!! Love, love this!
I am not Neil ,I am a roommate
Are you from the Stewart branch or the Sutherland branch or from an illegitimate branch ? Is your chart online ?
@@hottubmobileneil It is directly from the Stewart branch . . . through Robert the Bruce's daughter, Marjorie. Crazy . . . didn't even know I was scottish my whole life until 3 years ago.
@@classylady828 what is the rest of your chart , is it online ? Are you a descendant of King James 1st King of Scotland ?
I was on Arran 2006 so can tap into the atmospherics
Beautiful footage and very informative too! Great job! 🙌
Christy Evers, Happily 4 Evers After thank you Christy! And thanks for taking the time to watch!
Nicely shot video. There is an excellent and well researched Film all about Robert the Bruce and his struggles on Netflix, Outlaw King.
I’ve seen it!! I actually saw it right before I went to Arran! I know the brother of the Director. Great film. 💚🏴
@@EvelynEdwards Ayrshire is his home county, there's a hill there where he and his men had a battle, can't remember what it's called though.
@@neanderthaloutdoors9202 ahhh amazing!!! Love that area!
He was one of my 21st great grandfathers

You really made me feel proud of being Scottish and your video was just amazing! The history, the dialogue, the quality of the video were all fantastic. But above all your presentation and the vibe that you created was just wonderful. Long may your passion continue! I am sure I will be watching you on TV one day! Well done:)
Ahhh you’ve made my day! Thank you so much for the kind words. This had been such a wonderful passion project for me since the pandemic and since film and tv work hasn’t really started back up in the UK. You’ve lifted my spirits! Editing a new episode as we speak!! 💚💚💚🙏🏻🏴
@@EvelynEdwards Thank YOU! I am sure we are in for a treat!
I’m descended from the DeBrus family as well.I came from his sister’s lineage.Lady Isabel DeBrus.she is my 20th great grandmother.She was widowed and went on to re -marry the King of Norway.She became the Queen Isabel of Norway.Her father,Sir Robert DeBrus Earl of Carrick,6th Earl of Annandale and King Robert the firsts father,was my 21st great grandfather.
Amazing! What an incredible family tree!! 💚🏰🏴
Interesting! I love castles!
Kirsten Bern thank you! As an American, being able to go to a castle whenever I want is magic!! 💚🏰🙏🏻
Awesome and worth to watch 👏

Tripping High thank you so much for watching!! So glad you enjoyed!
I'm from the southend of Arran. I come from the mackinnon family - which is one of the oldest families on arran. It was a local Mackinnon widow that helped him take refuge. She also made her two sons pledge realty to him.
Ahhh I love it! Thank you! There is so much history you amazing locals know that was passed down! Fabulous!
@@EvelynEdwards fascinating stuff eh? I wonder how much history and story has been lost throughout the years. My Great gran was told all sorts of stories in gealic when she was a girl.
@@bigshoe9130 I imagine so so so much. We basically only know what the nobility decided to write down.
Amazing! I recently found out that I am a descendant of Robert through Marjorie! It's so cool to see the places our ancestors have/ might have been. Helps to feel that connection.
Beautifully made episode!!
Thank you so much for watching!
So epic. I love the bit about the Lochranza castle and the MacSween clan - so awesome that it was intwined with William Wallace's story. So neat to explore those and get drone footage of these sprawling human created rock formations! -c/t

Fantastic! I've watched a movie about Robert the Bruce (The Outlaw King - have you seen it?), where he defeats the English in a battle for Stirling Castle. You've filled in so much extra information, I'll have to watch it again after your history lesson. Thank you 😊
Linda Nicholson ahhh! We watched that movie right before we came here! That’s so funny! I think that’s part of the reason I mentioned all that I did... continuing on some of that story! Thank you for watching Linda!! 💚🙏🏻🏰 🏴

I was interested to see your video of Robert the Bruce. Nice job! Although not a descendant of his as you are, he is my 6th cousin, 21 times removed. We share common ancestors in Malcomb III Canmore and his wife Saint Margaret of Scotland.
I’ll take that!! Cousins!! Love it!! So fun. :)
Wow! Fantastic video QOTC! I love the "Robert the Bruce" history, and it was a great start to your channel! I am really amazed that you are a descendant of the Scottish king. Perhaps you can share with us, in another episode, how you came to that fact.
The collage of scenarios, vistas, and castles, just makes this part of Scottish history alive.
Two thumbs up!
David S ahhhh yay!!!! Thank you so so so much David!! I am related to Robert through his daughter Elizabeth! My mom is actually a genealogist! So I have many lines researched as far back as you can go! Go mom! 💚🏰🙏🏻😉
Nice
The Horizon E-Learning Tech thank you so much!!
Evelyn your channel is amazing!!! Binge watching to catch up. Love your Queen of the Castles hat. Do you still sell the same one? I couldn’t find it on your website. Cheers 🇨🇦
Shaaaaaron! Thank you friend!! I have sold out of the hat twice in two different colors!! We may do some more closer to the holiday season! 💚🏰 🧢
Love from India

Mary Stewart, Countess of Arran is my 15GG
Loved your show..enjoyed the scenery and the history. Very nicely done. Love to hear how you are related to Robert the Bruce...maybe I missed it? Anyway, I also have a new travel channel and am having so much fun posting videos and meeting new friends. I subscribed!
Adventures with Cheryl ah bless you Cheryl! I didn’t specifically mention the line I came through... that will probably be on another video. 😁. Thank you so much for watching! Excited to dig in to your content!
