    I do love the history segments! Thanks for the story of Mary Shelly and Frankenstein. What a coincidence the the cinema showed the movie right over the foundations of the house she stayed in! 😀 x

      Thanks ever so much Amanda! The street where she lived in is now just flats, but when you look back on the map when 'the cottage' was there, the grounds are half the size of the harbour!!! We are guessing that all the cinemas showed Frankenstein at the time, but if Mary Shelly had known ... I wonder what she would have thought! xo

    You found some lovely pebbles, and I thought that the green milk glass that Nicole found was so beautiful. Thanks for the history, Craig! The fact that the grassy area is the original sod is pretty amazing, too! Thank you for another enjoyable video! Take care! ❤️🙏

      Thanks so much Ruth! I love milk glass and these green pieces are from 1930s tiles, so are almost 100 years old now :) It's pretty amazing to think that small grass area is the only surviving old piece of grass in Dundee! Glad you enjoyed the history ! Take care xo

    So glad you found Jasper and Agat, I have tryed to beachcomb here I live with one of my grandchild, but we did not find much, but a lot of beutiful small rocks and other stuff. Love driftwood. Like to see Nicole make things from that, if you are picking them now/sometimes? (I saw that lantern you made, lovely).

    Hi Nicole and Craig,
    Those pebbles are beautiful! ❤ Ever thought about a rock tumbler? Think they will look stunning after being in that machine.
    Sorry Craig, but the find of the day was that piece of green milk glass, not that creepy long leg. 😅
    Thanks for the history lesson! I really like that. Learning something new with every video you make.
    Wishing you both a wonderful weekend with lots of sunshine and amazing finds.
    Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤, Ilona

    That first agate was a nice deeply colored carnelian, so pretty. That beach was full of beautiful pebbles. It looked like the sort of place to pick up small stones for tumbling. If you start making more crafts and jewelry with pebbles, this beach would be great resource. Please hold stones up to the light when possible, it really shows if the stone is an agate or not, and the color pops if it is.

    • @scottishmudlarking
      @scottishmudlarking  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There were indeed very many really lovely pebbles there - we will try to shine a wee light through them when we can. We might, one day, try to tumble some of these lovely stones - our place is a little too small for that just now. Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo :D
