Hi Eddie, thanks for the video. I share your appreciation of old churches, and some years ago your foot pain, when I used to walk on pavement a lot. Rest and Ecco walking shoes did the trick for me, and now I frolic over hill and dale with my two dogs for an hour or so daily. Hope you feel better soon!
Plantar fasciitis is no joke -- painful. Shoe/heel inserts may help. It did me and it took away a world of pain. Gorgeous location. Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks. I've been fit all my life, and this has knocked the socks off me, or whatever the phrase is. Never had so much pain. It'll heal with time; just a long time.
@@EdExploresScotland I'm of Scottish descent, so I know stubborn. I could bear it no longer. The pain drove me to the podiatrist. I think you all call them chiropodist and they were very helpful. Glad I went.
Its great your talking about Rothesay, i remember going there on holiday as a child, the weather was that hot the tarmac pavement was bubbling and my new sandshoes wore out and i had to get another pair, it was a great holiday and i remember seeing a Robinson crusoe statue good memories
Thank you, Ed, what a beautiful place. I think there will be a new disability in a few years time, phone-reader's-stoop! haha, I can't understand it. They all moan about their phones being stolen but still walk about with them in their hands 🙃😃. Memory foam soles for you - they're amazing 🤗
Thanks Ed, a few yrs ago , i went "doon the waater " on the Waverley and visited , visited all those and i need to go back another day in the summer and do it again.
Enjoyed your video immensely, was there a while back and it was shut. Must return soon. Look after yourself, get the rolly thing for under your foot it worked for me. Take care and keep on.
Hi Ed, what a great video! The cinematography was professionally done and the opening scenes leaving Wemyss Bay in particular. I know blue sky helps, but it was more than that. Plantar Fasciitis is a bugger, I have it from time to time. You probably get lots of advice on how to fix it, here's what works for me. Using an old tennis ball or a small rubber spikey ball which is available just for that purpose, roll it under your bare feet on a daily basis. Pills won't help, physio is the solution. Good luck and thanks ... Peter McCulloch
Hi Ed, look on Google maps- the castle is almost perfectly round- it's the moat and banking that are more squarish. I guess there could have been an additional defensive wall in this shape in the distant past. Nice video once again, many thanks.
Plantar fasciitis--I suffered for three years before someone suggested I use a wee ball as a massage- tool. You put your foot liightly on the ball, and move it about gently. And stop when it hurts. Do it again and again and it'll make a big difference. Good luck!
That’s true what you said about walking, Ed. You must at all costs keep the use of your legs. Once you start losing the use of your legs ( and it creeps up on you slowly) it’s the start of a very slippery slope .
Maybe as you get older, the realisation that you are older comes suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue, and you come face to face with what faces us all. (Nice to end on a cheerful thought!) 👍

Cheers James. I blame pavements, which often slope these days. We put more thought into the drainage of rainwater than people's feet!
Very nice Ed. A quiet jewel.
Thanks Hello Ed I hope you're foot heals quickly all the best from Edinburgh.
Many thanks Peter. Only a matter of time before I have a peg-leg and a parrot. Hold on... I've already got the parrot!

Cheers June. I remember tarmac bubbling in hot days in Partick. Must have been poor quality tarmac in the old days.

Agree about the special insoles
Cheers. I've got insoles, but they're not memory foam. This is maybe something I should look into. Many thanks.
@@EdExploresScotland Anytime. They're really good.
Good Man Ed.
Grand video.
Sound Tipp
Thanks Ed. It’s not only the youngies addicted to phones. Having a heatwave here. 35 degrees daily. Love sharing your adventures. Val 86 Australia.
Cheers Val. Drink lots of water.
Lovely video ed ❤
Cheers Heather.
Lovely production Ed.
Thank you.
Thanks
Another great video, Eddie. And about the kids these days, if it's not a bottle of water in their hands, it's those bloody vapes!
The younger generation! What decisions will THEY make for THEIR future.
Yours, the sceptical old guy.

Absolutely. Hard to imagine a more stunning bit of scenery that seemed to be slowly hand-cranked by a man when on that ferry. Out of this world.

Many thanks. It is, without question, a magical island.
Always love a wee trip to Rothesay, Ed, although we have never actually gone inside the castle. Will definitely do this next time😊
It's a castle and a half. Definitely worth the trip.

Cheers Peter. I submitted a self-referal physiotherapist form to the NHS. Anticipating an appointment in the year twenty-five-twenty-five.
Exactly hox mine was cured.I' sufferedso long that i was offered an operation, but the ball-under- the foot cured me.
Nice work mate i havent been there for a long long time makes me want to go back even after the seagull stole ma chips lol
Cheers Johnny. I am inclined to think we should be sorting what is clearly a serious seagull issue.

Spent many happy times in Rothesay but mainly at other near skeoch woods and promenade, home was Argyll mansions Syd mckay
I don't think there's any doubt that it's a magical island.

Thanks for another enjoyable video. Was there any dates on those stones in the church?
I'm not sure to be honest. Knights in armour. Very old.
I think the word you were looking for is Skewwhiff.
Thanks Paul. I was definitely striving for a word, and squashied seemed about the best option.
Scotland land of the inane tannoy announcement 😅
Made me laugh, mate. Take care.
