Imagine that centuries ago, kings and conquerers walked through these castles, fires where burning, people lived their whole lives inside. Now it's overgrown and forgotten. It's Scottish history
This could have been a really great explore if you had stopped long enough to allow your viewers get a good look at something instead of the constant moving. Every time... every single time there was something interesting, you were off it before we could get a good look. Sorry to be critical, but honestly it was very frustrating.
I TOTALLY AGREE....THE SAME ISSUE WITH MANY AMATEUR FILMERS PLUS A LOT OF THEM MAKE IT ALL ABOUT THEIR FACES & MAKE YOU YELL AT THEM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY SO YOU CAN SEE THE DARN THING AT LEAST THIS GUY SHOWED US THE CASTLE RUINS - THANK YOU FOR THAT MUCH !
What an awesome structure! It must have been so majestic when it was new. The video is great, but I hate to see this amazing building in such disrepair! It makes me wonder at the story of how this castle came to be in this condition.
Auchans Castle or Auchans House is a mock military mansion of a late 16th century date converted to the L-plan during the early-to-mid-17th century. Auchans House was originally a mid 16th century stone Z-plan tower house, founded by William Wallace of Dundonald and Auchans. Built with materials removed from Dundonald Castle, the long main block, is of three storeys and an attic. With its vaulted basements and being of slightly different construction, it could be part of an earlier building. Flanking its south wall, is a central round stair tower and a terrace which was originally encased by a barmkin wall. In 1640, the house was converted into a L-plan, when Sir William Cochrane of Cowdon, added a wing of three storeys and a garret. In 1667, the wing was extended by the addition of a block with a crow-stepped gable, flanked by a round stair tower and a corbelled-out square, round angle tower. The main entrance in the re-entrant angle, was through a Renaissance-style doorway below an armorial shield in the square stair-turret. Details of old fireplaces can still be seen inside. Sadly this once magnificent Scottish baronial residence, is now a complete ruin.
Centuries gone by would hae seen Christian families here celebrating births Christmases and weddings joyfully and mourning the deaths of loved ones. Are the descendants of those who built and dwelt here even aware that this was the hame of their forefathers? Are they scattered over Scotland and did they set sail across the sea for the new world. Do visitors feel or sense anything of the past here? I live in Canada. My mother and father emigrated from Greenock and port Glasgow in the 50's, and we've relatives in Ayrshire still. Perhaps?
Any idea how old this place is? Would love to know what the history of this home is. I had to turn the sound off. The music is annoying and unnecessary. Otherwise, I totally enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing!
Daft Explorers. You move the camera up and down too much and too fast. Buy yourself a tripod to avoid camera shake and facilitate panning around a central axis. And prior to starting, first do the necessary planning to film what and how.
Never visited Scotland but always wanted to. It’s videos like these that keep my admiration for your country alive. Thanks for the upload.
That is so cool how they build castles. All that hard work, Its just a masterpiece

joostjb lords and lady’s and instead of preserving it they will probably knock it down and build houses

Hello I will be in Ayr In July was looking to know if you could tell me some good places to go and visit abandoned houses and castles
If you can provide me with an email address I’ll happily send a list of places for you to visit.
Hi mate cheers my email address is paulwalker1984@icloud.com
Lovely, thank you. But the tapping music was super annoying, I would prefer just silence, to hear the birds and crunch underfoot. Thanks x
Restoration??????
Very nice videos, but some history would be good for your videos. Thank you.
Where is the history of this castle? You should include that for sure..... And the guy below me is 100% correct- too much moving.
A little history would be nice...like go look at property records tell us how old it is
imagne climbing to the top and finding a princess well or a nice slag I mean in this day and age I guess so

@Little Dorrit_Lisa People are offering constructive criticism. You seem to be just offering ad hominem attacks.
